I'm going to ask my Mom, when i go visit if I can take $1500 out of my stock money for this and pay the rest myself.
I'm sure she'll say okay, I need to do this regardless.
especially before i put my heart and soul into FIDM for 2 years straight.
I promised myself when I was 18 I would go to Europe.
did you know being 26 yr olds in europe is still considered youth on the Eurorail :)
I'm hoping Justin can come to Paris, I know he cant get a loooot of time off, but I'm hoping he can atleast do the 3 nights in Paris or even London.
k now its time to study and work :)
i've been doing this almost all day and yesterday.
