“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” -Mark Twain

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!
