HERE GOES...

So, this is it... After months of waiting, I'm finally about to leave for Australia. Less than 6 hours till my plane leaves. Crazy. My brain still refuses to wrap itself around the fact. Yesterday I spent the whole day just packing my stuff and organizing my room and still I managed to forget that I'm going. TODAY. I don't know why it's so hard for me to understand that this is actually happening to me! I have to tell myself to believe it, over and over again. Unbelievable...

For those who don't know who I am or what this blog is about, here's some info:

My name is Sonja (pronounced like Sonia) and I'm a 19-year-old christian girl from Helsinki Finland. For some time now I've had a dream of taking a gap year and leaving Finland after graduating from hichschool. I was introduced to a christian organisation called Youth With A Mission that organises Dicipleship Training Schools around the world, and I thought that a 6-month-long DTS would be the perfect way to spend my gap year. A friend of mine told me about a special DTS in Brisbane, Australia, called Music Arts and Dance DTS, or MAD DTS. As I love music and everything that has something to do with it I instantly felt like this was the place for me to be.

And that's also where I'm going now, and here in this blog I'll try to write about what's happening in my life in Brisbane. From what I've heard from my friends who've done dts it's gonna be a life-changing experience. It's gonna be absolutely amazing, but really tough too, so I'm gonna need all your prayers!

I guess there's nothing more to add at this point. See you on the other side...
