A week(end) to remember...

Well, things haven't gone exactly as planned - and that's okay. This was a really really really rough week. From getting papers back from professors and not doing as well as I imagined. Not to mention I had to mail out more Semester at Sea prospective sponsorship letters and scholarships. But I really feel that things will work it. I really have to stick it out. With the weather and everything changing it definitely changes my morale.

Unfortunately, on top of all of the rough stuff I got word that my cousin, Phillip, in Kansas City, MO was killed on Wed. I was definitely caught off guard and am still numb. I am trying to push through and write these papers and do homework but it's hard. I don't know. I feel overwhelmed, right now. And I am doing my best to get a ticket to KC.

Today I received a donation from my friend Bator for my Semester at Sea! One step closer! That $50 will go a long way. And it was cool to sit and actually rap with her about everything in our lives. I honestly hated to see her leave, maybe that meant that I would have to face the death of my cousin - or just the sheer fact of mortality and that I am indeed mortal. Much to think about.

But I am going to do my best to stay on top of this blog. Well, I know I will crank it, soon. I am just trying to adjust. In addition, I am working on so many things and this is a tool to help make my fund raising portion easier. Also, it will be my way of truly documenting this global experience...

I AM GOING INTERNATIONAL!!!

And watch...EVEN THE BLOG WILL GET BETTER.

*sigh*

Stay tuned.
