Studying abroad.

I'm in such a quandary. Well I guess I'm not. I know for certain that I intend on going on the annual faculty led trip to Italy. At least I know for certain that IF I do end up studying abroad, this is what I'll do. My issue is that I really would love to study abroad in Denmark. It would be amazing to experience my heritage first hand, but on the other hand, I wouldn't know anyone there, plus it would be quite expensive. The trip to italy is only a month and a half and is during the summer, so it wouldn't interfere with my actual school year. The trip is dedicated to food and wine, in fact one of the classes I'd be taking is called "Wine Appreciation" How bomb does that sound? Basically, there is very little information on what one can expect whilst studying abroad in Denmark through WSU, so I don't really know what to expect. On this trip to Italy I'd be with fellow HBM students and I'd be with a WSU professor. It just sounds so amazing.

I actually think it would be a fun idea to just vacation to Denmark when I'm older, maybe spend a long period of time there, maybe even move there for a year. Who knows. My plans are constantly changing.

I am also excited for next year. Yesterday my friend Becky and I were looking at apartments online and just got us both so pumped for when we have our own apartments next year. No question, I fully intend on getting a one bedroom, so I can have complete privacy. I've wanted to live by myself for so long, and I don't think it'd be lonely. How can it be? I'll still be at WSU, where I have many friends. I love my privacy, and I wish I had it right now. Even though the apartments were like 530 a month for a one bedroom, at the end of the year it's still cheaper (about 6000), than what we pay for me to live in this new dorm (11,000). That's like 5000 in savings! No matter what I do, next year will be cheaper.

I'm sacrificing so much to live in this dorm, sometimes I question if it's worth it, then other times (usually when I'm enjoying the luxury of my own bathroom, or looking at my amazing view), I realize, I have it so good. Also visiting friends at other dorms, I realize how good I have it. This post has been pretty random, I guess I'm just letting out my feelings of today. How cheesy, I know.

I have three papers due by friday, I better get started.
