Macedonia and stuffs

So here's the deal with me and traveling abroad. First off, I appreciate everyone that contributed to my raising funds to travel overseas to Thailand. It's looking like I will be going to Macedonia instead. This next semester - spring 10.. 010? Jeez, that's a whole other post waiting to be posted.. - I will most likely be traveling with my Social Problems class to Macedonia, Greece. I received numerous letters of recommendations that put me over the edge as far as the applicants list went, and for that I am grateful to the professors that saw potential in me to do so.

The reason I say most likely is because of the ten people that are supposed to be going I am the eleventh, and I am an alternate. But I've been informed that if I have good grades by the end of the semester they will take me along anyway.

Yesterday I went down to the school and talked with my professors to see where I stood without my finals. I have A's in all my classes without taking a final. So it's looking good. ALSO! The Study Abroad group has let me register for the class that will be visiting Macedonia next semester, and before I was on hold.

SO! Once there, we will be doing social work with the less fortunate in a little town outside of the capital city - Skopje - of Macedonia.

I haven't uncrossed my fingers yet, but things are looking up. Thanks again for the funds, I have put them towards my application fee, my passport, shots, etc. I really appreciate all that helped out in this process.
