“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

Less than 100 Days!

Sooo less than 100 days until SAS! I'm so incredibly excited!!! Every day brings more exciting news and I found out I recieved a $4,000 tuition reduction thanks to a Work Study position on the ship! But it says (OTH) so I have no idea what I'm going to be doing! Everyone seems to be getting along well from all the facebook messages and encouraging words we all share! I'm so excited to meet everyone!!! :) I'm getting my Yellow Fever vaccine next week hopefully! Everything is all coming together so quickly!!! :D Here is a picture I really want to do while on the ship!!! More updates later, I'm sure :)

Ups and Downs!

So I'll start with the good news: I got another $4000 worth of scholarships thanks to SAS! They awarded me two different scholarships! :) However, I didn't get the Presidential Scholarship...but I don't care, I'm taking out a loan in order to cover the rest of the cost-this opportunity is way too good to pass up. NKU has been ridiculous about Financial Aid recently, so I'm getting really stressed because of it. In two weeks, this will all be over though, and I'll only have to wait on August to get here!!! I'm so excited! :) More later! :)

It's MAY :)

So much has gone on since I last updated this!! First, I got a $100 scholarship to use for books! yay! :) The Presidential Scholarship winner is announced THIS Friday...I'm really nervous! :/ We finally got the stay in touch dates, and some of the Visa papers we need! I'm working on a few other scholarships right now, so wish me luck! Click the Stay-In-Touch dates to find out when you should send mail by! I hope I'll get a letter from everyone! :)
