As I finish the pre-acceptance stage of my study abroad process, I need to take some time to lay out various questions I may want to consider during the different stages of my upcoming semester. During the outset, I imagine that my primary focus will getting myself situated in terms of moving in, locating important places (train stations, convenience stores, etc.), and trying to find pathways to realize the goals I have set for myself. As the semester progresses, it will be imperative for me to "check-in" with myself, and measure the progress I feel in multiple different aspects of not just my academic goals, but my life in general. I will have to make sure that I am keeping my body in good health, along with dealing with mental and emotional stress. Other times, I will measure my social progress, and determine the state of my social life, and even identity, as I may adjust aspects of my outward expression to fit my new lifestyle or social groups.
