Italy? what?
I've made up my mind almost 100%, and I think I want to study abroad in Italy for the fall semester. I've already calculated the expenses and how much I would have to save from my paychecks. I guess it's a blessing that I live with my parents for the moment, because it leaves me free to use my money for more opportune experiences. I've already requested an application packet, checked all the specs I could on the program, and am going to the financial aid office tomorrow to see if I can't squeeze out a buck or two. My parents agreed to help me pay for part of it even if they have to take out a loan, which makes me feel even more strongly that this is the right thing to put all of my money into. I expect to save up at least 3500 by the end of the summer, and I'll try to save even more to cover food, and little expenses over there as well. If I get accepted, this will be my first time out of the country (Rosarito doesn't really count for me). I'll just have to cross my fingers and hope that all goes well.
