Finalized and Accepted

Hello All!


I'm not sure if anyone will want to read my blog, but I figured I would start one considering others in the future may need assistance or advice on studying abroad. So here it is, my first blog :)


Today I found out that I am officially accepted into CEA's study abroad program in Argentina. YAY! All of the steps were kind of a hassle and getting C. Rocha to approve my courses was definitely a pain. It's a good thing I have Joao as a resource to help me with all my Spanish needs. Don't be intimidated by all the steps, it's mostly just filling out simple forms and getting them to the right people. I think it took me about 2 months to get everything finalized, but if necessary it could be done in one month.


I could not be more excited to go to Argentina. I realize my trip is 5 months away, but I am already getting nervous. To help me stay sane, here is a list of things I am nervous about:


1. Coming up with the money for the trip..it is pretty expensive :/
2. Financial Aid working in my favor
3. Scholarships! (I didn't think I'd ever have to worry about these again..booo)
4. leaving everyone for 2 months..
5. getting shots and staying healthy
6. being a vegetarian when people are cooking for me
7. letting other people do things for me
8. who will take care of my animals?!


I have a few others but they can probably wait until later. As of right now, I need to just enjoy Christmas break and start saving $$$! Let's do it!
