The final stages of my trip are being put into place and all of my paper work is turned in. All I have left to do is pay! The Orientation was very informational... I learned a lot about what to expect and how to survive while abroad.
I'm feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness about the whole thing. I'm still worried that I might not get to go because of finances, but I'm really working hard to come up with the funds from various outlets. I'm also still waiting to hear about a few large scholarships that I may get, so wish me luck on that.
I feel very confident that I will get to go.... the hope is that I will only add a minimal amount of debt in the process. I'm looking at a private educational loan as a backup incase I don't make enough before the deadline, but I'm really hoping that I don't have to take it. The interest on that loan is ridiculous!
What I'm really hoping for is that my friends and family will sponsor my trip by purchasing the photos and other artwork I'm selling... I understand that finances are tight, so that's why I'm selling 4" x 6" prints for only $2... so it's very cheap and easy to swing.... I mean, come on, $2... that's not even a cup of daily coffee.
Okay, I'll stop ranting about money now. I already feel bad enough for spamming Facebook every day! I'll keep you updated if anything else interesting comes up about my trip.
