Hasta Luego – Ready to Go!!!

I leave for India tomorrow.  Alas, all my hard work has paid off.
  1. Alliance Online Application
  2. Statement of purpose that worked on and perfected for a year
  3. 2 teacher recommendations
  4. 1 recommendation from my study abroad advisor
  5. Internship Intent form with an essay component
  6. Interview
  7. Writing a completely different resume
  8. Applying for scholarships
  9. Budget, Budget, BUDGET!!!
Once I was accepted – more paperwork!!!
  1. Intent to enroll form
  2. India student Visa Application
  3. Medical form
  4. Housing form
  5. Course selection form
  6. Booking my flight and filling out the flight confirmation form
  7. PACKING, which was only possible with Matt’s help
I am proud of myself for taking this leap especially during my senior year.  I am going to miss graduation but India is, in my opinion, a more memorable experience since I am still going to get the degree.  Also, trying to finish my thesis abroad is going to be a challenge but  I am a firm believer in the idea that “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”
Wish me luck everyone!!!  By the way, if anyone is into SNAIL MAIL, feel free to write me at
