Belize?

So KSU offers a study abroad to Belize from June 1-30. I am debating on this study abroad because first off, graduation will be pushed back until July. Second, application deadline is Feb 1 giving me at least 3 months more to save up money. I guess it will depend on the how much I can find with scholarships etc...

My first check came today from my aunt in Texas! Love you and thank you for the wishes!

Let's see if we can get some of these local organizations to give!

Last chance to travel before I join the rest of the world in this tight economic spiral and continue to just wish I had done more traveling...

Waiting...

So it's down to crunch time. I have emailed local organizations that may provide funding as well as family. I'm also applying for a scholarship but that may or may not arrive until December/January.

It's down to the responses whether or not this trip will be viable. Fortunately I was told by one of the department chairs that the minimum the school provides for global learning has increased! So that will definitely help but I will still need roughly $2200. Let's see if this is what God wants me to do!

Trip of a Lifetime

So I finally decided to go through with it, to take the chance and do whatever I can do go on this trip to Istanbul! The dates are March 4-14 2011.

I'm really excited and really nervous since it's only a short amount of time before the actual trip and theres so much to get done including a passport etc.

I'm starting to write my letter for fundraising and look for scholarships. All the money is due by December so I don't have much time for that either!
Oh and I need to check on the shots, if any, that are needed for the area.

I'll use this blog sort of like a diary.. to keep you posted on what I'm thinking, tell you about what I learn, and just kind of a segway between you and me so you know what is going on.

In case you are interested here is the link to the page for the application. http://www.kennesaw.edu/studyabroad/programs/turkey-bus.html
