So since I found out that I was going to be homeless next year, I started thinking about my options. And what I recently got fixed on was this idea of studying abroad in the fall as opposed to the spring like I had originally planned on. It'll put off being homeless and sad in the fall and potentially make me want to do crew through senior year. (Had I studied abroad and missed the spring season, I don't know that the likelihood that I would go back would be as great). Also, I think I have some better housing options for the spring? Maybe.
ANYWAY, I attended this intimate group meeting today and got flooded with all of this information and now I'm going aaabsolutely bonkers. Most of the application deadlines aren't until April 1, so I have some time. But still. This is all going to take place so fast! I wasn't planning on having to plan this at this point in time. My main thing is deciding WHERE the fuck I should go. My priorities really come down to two things: (1.) where I'm going to get the most use out of the language and (2.) how sexy the place is. I think I'm basically deciding between Alicante, Granada, and Cordoba (Argentina). I think I want Alicante the most at this point because it's all modern and on the fuckin' sexy white playas of the Mediterranean Sea. HOLLA. My only concern is that it's too populated and cool and touristy and I won't get the language exposure that I need. But I'm gonna set up a meeting with one of the profes here and get some advice. WOW.
and a happy happy birthday to my dear friend annie.
