Financial Aid Accepted!!

I found out today that my trip is officially paid for! I turned in the Financial Aid Disbursement Form and they said that nothing could be done until much later, and I thought I would have to come up with over $7000 by February 2012. Now, my site specialist Mara has called me and clarified that the form was received before Christmas and I am receiving over $8000! So it looks like all my worries about paying for the trip were for nothing, as usual. I could not be more excited and I am so relieved that this trip is actually going to happen :) Only 5 more months to go!
