YES!!!!

I'm so excited!!! A couple days ago I found out that one of the scholarships I applied for awarded me with $3,000! I'm so thrilled!! :) I still have a long way to go but it was the first scholarship that I had heard back from! This is absolutely wonderful!! :))

S.A.S. Fever!

Been applying for scholarships like crazy-I've officially applied to 5, but am almost done with 8 more!! Call me crazy, but hopefully I'll get enough money where I won't have to take out too many loans!

I'm also going to help promote S.A.S. at NKU with my friend Jessica (She went on the short-term summer 2011) and Dr. McIntyre-Miller (On the Alumni Board and has traveled with S.A.S. before!!) We are hanging up fliers and setting up a table in the Student Union!

I've got an advising appointment today so I can see what credits will come back! This is all so exciting! :)

I'm excited to be the first person from NKU to go a full semester and it's just over 5 months away!!! So much planning to do beforehand!

Passports!!

Just got my passport renewed today :) I'm so excited!! Just over 5 months left and still working on scholarship stuff! I'm meeting with Dr. M. on Wednesday to go over everything!

I also may have changed my mind about one of the classes I want to take, knowing that any of these credits will come back for an Honors credit class! Been reading all of the syllabi and luckily 3/5 classes I want to take are with the same professor! (Meaning they clearly can't be at the same time!! haha)

More later :)

Scholarship Essays

My day has consistently been writing mass amounts of scholarship essays! This trip is expensive and I'm pretty nervous about not being able to afford it-but even if I have to take out loans I'm going to go! This trip is too good of an opportunity for me not to! Wish me luck on the scholarship essays!
