How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: I set a goal for a set percentage of my income this year to be donated to charity, and so I sent out chunks through the year for various organizations. The only real gotcha is that I am on so many snail mail pleading lists now, it makes me sort of sad because I can't give to everyone and I wish they would quit wasting their money mailing me.

So I previously noted on this that I would qualify for a work visa if I had a bachelor’s degree. I went back to school in January to work on getting that, so I would qualify. Imagine my ire when, in March, they changed the immigration requirements so that a bachelor’s no longer gave you any points towards qualifying for a work visa—one must have at least a master’s degree. (Hint: I was pretty irate.) Nonetheless, I’ve continued working on my degree, and expect to be granted it in 2011. I am working on what I will want to do a master’s in, in case they haven’t changed the rules by then. It’s pretty upsetting, and really damn expensive, so I’ve actually decided that after all this work and money, I will want to move there for at least five years, rather than just one. I mean, if I spend five years working concertedly on getting there, it just seems fair.
I think I can, I think I can. Just keep swimming!
