Accepted!

I'm really glad no one was in the house when I got my acceptance letter because I literally had a minor breakdown I was so ecstatic. I was so overjoyed that I couldn't quite comprehend how to respond. This letter was one I'd wanted a million times more desperately then the Hogwarts letter we all waited for when we turned 11. After I managed to gain control of myself I ran over to our neighbor's house to share the exciting news. . My neighbor was the closest person as I was home alone that day and so he was awarded with my hyper frenzy. I've been dreaming about this trip for years; so long that I don't even remember when I first learned about it. I've just always know that THAT is going to be my college study abroad experience. I went to the study abroad office my first semester of college and told them that I was going on Semester at Sea in Spring 2012. They told me I was way to early to apply and so I was forced to twiddle my thumbs until early this year when I finally stared my application. Somehow I thought the application would be the end, I would either get rejected and be devastated, or get accepted and pick up my bags and be off! ...Not quite. Now I get to go through the joy of signing CU's million agreements, applying for visas, figuring out what immunizations I need, applying for scholarships, figuring out what other financial aid is available, deciding what in the world I am going to spend my time in 11 different countries doing! And as far away as six months seems, I honestly don't know how it will be enough time to get everything done!
