Meeting Friends!

I am so glad there is an ISA facebook. I have met three girls already who are going on the trip in the spring as well.

Right now my to do list is:
- get my visa
- figure out a cell phone plan/ wifi plan for when I get over there
- make a list of things I need before I leave so I can ask for them for Christmas

So Excited :D

Empty Bank Account


ITS OFFICIAL!

I am going to Brazil for sure! I bought my plane ticket! I paid for the trip!
(I don't have any money now) BUT IM GOING!

I met a girl who is going in the spring as well on the ISA Brazil Facebook and the trip is starting to feel more and more real!

My mom is asking me what I need to get before I leave so I can ask for it for Christmas. It is crazy! :)

I am really excited because my fall semester ends in 3 weeks and then I be able to focus on researching Brazil, traveling around, and learning Portuguese before I leave.

Payment Due Nov. 15th

It's official, my bank account had been emptied. I no longer have any money to my name... but I am GOING TO BRAZIL! It had definitely not officially sank in yet. It still feels like a dream, but I was looking at the Facebook site for Brazil and the pictures made it feel a little more real. I also have the hand book for Brazil now, so I am excited to look through that and read about where I will be going!

p.s. not going to lie, I kind of had a mini panic attack when I pushed send to give away all my money! :\ mixed feeling but still really excited!
