I got accepted into a study abroad program for spring term.
To Senegal.
A total of 18 of us are going. It’ll be five pretty intense weeks.
In case you’re concerned, Senegal is not near Egypt.
I’ll probably buy my plane ticket this week or next.
Here’s hoping my financial aid works out. Today, I contacted the financial aid office about a scholarship I applied for, in addition to the loans.
Chance of a lifetime, right?
Any masochist would eat this up.
Seriously, though. Don’t ask me about French, you guys. It makes me sad and frustrated to talk about it.

Congratulations!!!!!!! ::hugs:: C’est fantastique! (I don’t suppose you could get yourself routed through UK…?)

Thanks! The flights we’ve looked at so far are direct from JFK.
So, not so much hopping over to the UK.
It would have been awesome to see you.

Shame– I’d have loved to catch up in person. Still, at least you’ll be on ‘my’ side of the world for awhile.
I cannot wait to hear all about it! ::hugs::

Congratulations.
Sounds exciting… and somewhat stressful getting it all figured out. But, completely worth it. Enjoy.
