About Me

My express purpose for creating this blog was to put my opinions out there. I don't care about other people's opinion of what I have to say, this is for me.

Where will I live?!?

Got the letter about housing for next year and along with it comes soooo many questions.
  • Are my parents really fully supporting my want to go to Australia?
  • Are they going to be willing/able to help financially if I need it (and I'm going to)?
  • Am I really going to Australia in about 6 months?
  • Will I be living on campus come August?
  • Is there some- where/one who would let me live with me if I don't go and don't want to live on campus?
  • Can I afford to live off campus?
  • How am I paying for Australia?
  • If Australia has such a low unemployment rate, why is there dollar worth less? (unrelated, I know)
  • What am I going to do about housing if I end up not being able to go to Australia?
I am honestly optimistic about it, I know God is in control of it all and lately it seems like He wants me to go, heck it's practically all I think about and it get's brought up all around me a lot, too. I, and my parents, know this is an amazing opportunity for me but the cost is always a factor and I honestly can't find much of a way to pay for it, between classes and extras, I never seem to have any time but I just need to calm down and take some time to figure things out.
Anyone who's been out of the country or has friends who have been, with school, that has any suggestions about scholarships or grants I'm all ears and DON'T tell me to get a job, because I'm trying.

UPDATE: I love my mother; the following is the e-mail conversation I had with her.
ME: I got this e-mail today (about housing for next year) and I need to know if you honestly think Australia is going to be possible, so I know whether or not I need to sign up for housing next year, provided I'm not giving up and I can always just wait and be assigned a room later, but I've also been wondering what your honest opinion of Australia is.
HER: if you want to go we will do whatever is needed for you to go, provided the school will do what they need to help subsidize the cost. I.E. fundraising or whatever they do.


And that is why I am blessed, my parents support my dreams and want me to have the best, I also think God has plans for me over there; today I found the website for McMicken's scholarships, finished my essay for another, and found out the library is hiring, money is bound to disappear as an obstacle soon.
