I havent posted in a loooooong time but that is because I have had nothing to update. Also I have been focusing my attention on my summer school class (I took Microeconomics at Missouri State and right now it looks like I will have an A in the class.) So yesterday I took my final and it was eh and today I checked my email and had something from my study abroad program (CIEE) saying that I have missed the due date on applying for an internship this fall. I panicked and, with the help of my mother, cranked out the resume and cover letter for the application as well as submitted that paperwork.
I also took care of a few other things such as applying for housing (I applied to do a home stay), some medical information, as well as taking care of the preliminary scheduling for my classes. I am required to take a standard Arabic course, a colloquial Arabic course and two electives (one of which can be the internship). I hope to take a history course as my other elective because of some things regarding my (hopefully) two majors and two minors.
Other exciting news is I filled out the visa application!!! Its still sitting on the counter because I can only pay for it with a money order from the bank and I have yet to get that. Also I believe I have three pairs of pants for the trip. So that is good. Oh yeah! My plane ticket is bought. So that is also good.
I have been putting a lot of stuff off because I am still kind of freaking out about it. I head up to Jewell for a week on Monday to do some work for the school and I am sure that I will be freaking out even more when I get back home and realize that aside from cheer camp I probably wont be back until January. By putting it off I am able to pretend like its not going to happen but I have crossed the two-months -till-departure threshold so I probably ought to get it together.
Hopefully I will have more to say soon.
