Beginning of the Journey 11/21/09

So. I got the acceptance from AsiaLearn a couple of days ago. I applied really late (it was very last minute) and I'm still uncertain if I am able to go. All it really boils down to is money. The program costs around $14,000 and I only get $11,000 so I am applying for some study abroad scholarships. I'm REALLY hoping that I get them or else the experience would be rather bland if I had to be stingy 24/7 over there. On top of that, I still have to scrounge up the funds to take Anatomy 2 at Clemson when I get back (around $1500-2000) because they don't offer it abroad and it is the most imperative class I have to take. I wish I could just take it online...
But life is what I make it and sometimes one must sacrifice one thing for another. I'm sacrificing financial stability and the easy schedule I have setup for next semester so I can have an amazing experience abroad with no strings attached (kinda). A lot of people say that studying abroad while in college is one of the most worthwhile experiences in a lifetime and I don't want to miss out on that.

My room @ Clemson. Love it ^^
