The excitment

Man things are really coming together, but there has been so many ups and downs. For those of you who are thinking about studying abroad there is a few things that knowing in advance will smooth the process... Such as if you are staying in a country for more than 90 days you will need a visa and that in its self is another process. To obtain your visa a police report, HIV records, Passport book (card), photos passport size, 130 money order, a letter from the bank, a letter from your parents, and the visa application itself is needed in order to get a visa so make sure you are not trying to get everything done at the last minute as some problems may occur. Trust me I have been going through it trying to get everything ready for this. Another thing that seemed to help me was writing out a list of the things I needed before I left. Getting thins as you are out and about is an easy way to get everything plus it seems like you are saving money if you get things as you are out and not all at once. I will be putting a picture up of my host family as soon as I can and stay up on reading my blogs because after August 24 I know they will be filled with adventures.
