I had narrowed it down to two programs, one in Ireland and one in England. The one in England seems a little more affordable, and fits better with my major, so I think that’s the direction I’m gonig.
We’re setting it up to go Fall of 09, so I have plenty of time to secure scholarships and loans, and to save.
I’m telling my whole family about my SA fund, so hopefully they’ll give donations in lieu of presents for the holidays.
It’s so weird that this may actually be possible.
I’m trying not to get my hopes up in case it doesn’t work out.

School starts next week, and I plan to meet with someone to discuss going abroad next year.
It’s always been a huge dream of mine, but money has been an issue. Hopefully I can find a program and get aid to go.
It’s completely unlike me to leave on my own like this, and I’m probably going to be absolutly terrified if it works out, but I feel like I have to do it.

I live with my brother and his family at the moment.
I just moved to a new town for school, and am working part time so the money is not really available at the moment.
I’m scheduling classes next year to be able to work full time and am saving money so hoping by January I’ll have my own place!
