Take Me Away

I want to study abroad so badly. The more I think about it, THE MORE I WANT IT. And I blame the camping trip, a little encouragement from your girls goes a long way.

Right now I'm looking at Ribat, Morocco. Its a semester long program that caters to a political science program. You even get to learn Arabic, which would be too cool. AND I'll get to put my French skills to use. There are only 2 things holding me back:
1. Mucho Dinero. That I don't have, obviously. I first thought the program was $17,000, but I looked at it again and it's actually only $15,000. I was excited for like a split second then I remebered that ummm I do not have that much either... Financial Aid that I already have can cover a good chunk of it, but the rest is gonna take some creativity and hard work. I might be able to work it out, I can be pretty crafty when it comes to paying for things, but I just don't want to get my hopes up then be crushed.
2. My Apartment. I love that place. Which is why I agreed to stay there another year. But even if I had paying for the program figured out, I would still need a way to pay the rent. I can a) sublet it to someone while I'm away or b) just continue to pay for it even though I'm not there. I like option a better, but I also have my lovely roomies to consider. I do not want to stick them with a stranger at all. Cuz I know it would be weird and awckward for them. Plus I would worry the whole time that I stuck them with a bitch or worse, there are some freaky people out there! Ever see the movie about a girl who puts an ad out for a roommate and picks a girl who later tries to kill her and steal her identity??? Yeah, no way would I be able to enjoy Morocco with that possibility on my mind...

So I have a few hurdles in my way. I'm gonna try to work it all out... Keep your fingers crossed for me!
