There have been a lot of surprises lately. I’ll try to recapitulate what has happened in the past two weeks. I would have blogged about it during the tumultuous experiences, but my attitude wasn’t fantastic and it would have shown through my writing. Didn’t want my readers to think I was a non-cussing heathenous, mal-attitudinal, person.
My time line is skewed. A few weeks ago, I was waitlisted for Costa Rica. I was planning on going with one of my best friends from Murray. It was going to be her first Study Abroad trip and I hadn’t ever been to Costa Rica. Well, I got an email back saying that I was waitlisted because I missed a set of application forms and they were late. Alas.
I emailed Mexico’s director wondering if I could do an internship there, but I chose not to do that because I had already done the program there. Wise words of my Mother.
Then I emailed the Study Abroad director and he said that there might be room in Argentina. I told him the only way I’d be able to justify this would be if I could get graduate elective credit. According to the website, they didn’t offer it. But it was worth a shot.
I told him that I was interested last week around the 23rd of March. He emailed me back at 10:30 saying that he would check. My mom and I prayed about it and surrendered up to the Ultimate Franklin Covey DayPlanner Jesus. If it was meant to be, I would be going.
So! The next day @ about 1 pm, he emails me back and says that I got the LAST SPOT on the trip! AND the trip would leave from NASHVILLE!!!!! Which is an hour away, not 4 hours where Louisville is. AND THEN, I am officially signed up for a Cultural Geography class. I was telling Jesus when I was in underground how cool it would be if I could take another geography class. Look what He did!!!
I am officially going to the land of the really big statue on the hill that you see on the Discovery Channel, the land of beef (where it’s really what’s for dinner), and tango music/dancing. I’ll let you know how the dancing goes.
Surprise! No Costa Rica.
Surprise! Yes to Argentina.
Surprise! Graduation in May 2011
Surprise! Almond milk is amazing.
Surprise! Jesus is more amazinger than almond milk.
Surprise! I’m still black.
That’s all for now.
