いんほんへいきましょ

at the start of japanese class, sensei had a guest speaker from the international study abroad program stop by to talk to us. i've never thought of studying abroad (so that's a lie, japan has always been on my list), but i guess in 2 weeks UH has made me bold enough to want to go somewhere where i barely know the language to live there for 6 weeks to get 4 credits. the problem lies in the fact that it's expensive. $5000 at most. considering its for the program, credits, and roundtrip flight its not that bad when broken down. in fact it could/should be a lot more. unfortunately the student loan i took out only covers spring, regular summer sessions, and fall. therefore i would need to find a way to get the $5000 on my own. now, i could save up for it. $300 a paycheck i would need 16 of them. not possible. especially when i need to put a $500 deposit by the end of march. *sigh* so i'm applying for scholarships...the nightmare returns once again.
