Visa and Passport en route from school!

Oh, so I guess I'll tell you about some of the cool things the program does for you, if you can figure out how to take advantage of them.

1. If you have your passport (which, I mean, you should have before you even start applying to the program), a passport sized photo, and a filled out visa application (a copy of which is provided on Blackboard. Copy it, putting in your own personal information) then the school will send out a big bunch of visa applications and get it taken care of for you. If you get it all turned in on time. Which I did! Nahnahnah. In any case, that's pretty awesome because getting a visa is a hassle.

2. They pay for your flight over. At least for the fall semester. Assuming they have enough money to pay for it. They almost didn't offer this for us, but then finally we heard back and airline ticket was free for me!

3. The cost for the entire program (including room and board, classes, and "field trips") is the same as tuition, plus a $1,000 fee. Hell yeah! I beg you to find a better (financial) offer than that.

Other than that, I finally got settled with my new pump. It's pretty awesome and I'm excited to start using it.

uhg less than a month away! I can't wait!
