Tickets!

I just bought plane tickets!!!!

Well, I just got confirmation that my loan to pay for my summer adventure was approved. I suppose that's a good thing, since it means I'll be able to go, but it's also a bad thing since I now have that much more in loans hanging over my head.

I just have to keep reminding myself that I'll be saving money in the long run since I won't have to pay for another full year at NU.

So Expensive!

Holy crap - why is international airfare so expensive? And I'm not talking about flights to Canada. So sad.

In other news, I spent a couple hours on the phone this morning with various different lenders trying to figure out how I'm going to pay for this wonderful adventure. It doesn't help that neither of the schools involved want to have anything to do with financial aid :(

Oh, the nitty-gritty details that we all know and love....
