Abroad Issues

Jan 17, 2007 12:46

OK so, after much fighting with my mother, she concluded that she would not be financially supporting my decision to go abroad to Ecuador. This leaves me with $23,000 problem. Currently, I have about 5K in the bank, I'm going to start working a job on campus that pays about 7.50 an hour... not a lot at all but at leasts its income. I also get a check from my dad every month. With all that.... by next spring I'll have about 15K to my name... if I dont spend any money.

Which means I'll only have to take out about a 8K loan.. something I will hopefully be able to pay off by the end of college.

I'm starting to wonder if going to Ecuador is worth all of this trouble...considering I still have to pay for all the tropical immunizations that aren't covered by my medical insurance (at least another grand)

I really need this abroad experience... I really really do.

I'm praying that something will work out.

Heres some pics:


I'll be staying in Quito for about 2 months

Here in the Amazon Jungle for about a week


and Here in Machu Picchu, Peru for about 2 weeks



ugh... I need this to happen...but i'm not going to whine.. because I'll make it happen god damnit
