The study abroad application was finally turned in last Wednesday. Kathy at the study abroad office was nice and didn’t make me go and get a redundant signature from Dr. Koehler, and everything else went ok. Now, I wait about a month to hear if I’ve been officially nominated from NCSU for the exchange with Lund. After that, I probably won’t hear from Lund University until mid April to see whether I’m officially 100% going. I’m gonna look around travel plans and such in Europe in my quickly diminishing free time…just shouldn’t buy the plane ticket quite yet.

In other study-abroad related news, I’ve found the place I’m staying in for the spring 2006 — it’s a 2 bedroom apartment that Remi and Pat will be leasing for the fall down Avent Ferry. In the spring, while they are abroad, Jordan and I will stay in it. I’m glad that is worked out, though at some point I need to turn in that form.

Today I picked up my letters of recommendation from Laura and Professor Townsend. They have been very generous in helping me out. I got Professor Townsend’s signature on my course approval form, but I’ve got to back and get one last one from Dr. Koehler. He has already signed it on a different line, but I can’t take any chances.

I’ve got my ID photos thanks to Dad, and I need to get a check for that $200.00 application fee. Oh yeah….and the two essays I need to write. I’ll take care of that tomorrow or this weekend. I’ll turn in my application next Tuesday or Wednesday, before the due date of February 18th.

Also, I might have found a place to stay during the Spring 2006 semester. Jordan is looking for someone to take over Remi and Pat’s apartment while they are abroad. Details coming soon.
