Yesterday, I decided that I better start working on more planning for Italy. Since I am going through a scholarship, there are several things that I need to do to keep up with meeting the requirements. Also, the program that I am participating with requires a ton of paperwork!
I downloaded my "homework" assignments that need to be completed before the first retreat in March. They don't seem to complicated. For the first one, I have to interview an international student at my university. I asked my friend Juan if he would mind letting me interview him, and he was okay with it, so that should be an easy assignment. The other assignment is simply a survey. Who knows that the survey will entail, but the instructions said that it should only take about 15 minutes, so hopefully, it won't be too bad.
I'm really happy that most of my paperwork is done. I have one more form to have signed, but for some reason, I have to take it to a notary, so that's a pain in the butt, but I have to get it done eventually. Otherwise, I made a ton of progress this weekend. I still have to fill out my scholarship application through the program and write two essays for it, but I have time for that yet. Not only did I finish the rest of my other paperwork, but I also started dealing with some billing stuff! Now that this show is getting on the road, it is feeling more and more real.
I have to say that probably the most stressful part about all of this planning has to be paying for it. My scholarship doesn't cover nearly enough, but it helps a lot. Otherwise, the rest is on my shoulders. I'm still waiting to get paid from work over Winter Break, so it's really stressful waiting when there's nothing that I can do. I'm trying to just trust that it will all work out; I've been working hard for this, so I hope that God's got something great in store for me!
It's slowly getting closer!
Blessings.
