I guess it never occurred to me how much this trip is really going to cost. We've made the reservation for our dorm/apartment, and now have to come up with an inordinate amount of money for the deposit. And subleasing our Austin homes is still an issue. A freakin' huge one. But I think (at least I'm hoping) that this tide of costs is inevitable, and once the administrative dues are paid we'll finally be able to rest.
I just feel awful that our parents are helping us out so much with money. It's such a huge cost, especially in this economy, and for what? To be able to travel the world? Is that a luxury? Despite the costs, I'm hoping that it'll be worth it. I know it will. And everyone I've known that has gone abroad said to DO IT! This is absolutely a once in a lifetime experience, so hopefully someday we'll be able to pay them back for it.
My visa letter came in yesterday, and I'm meeting with my study abroad adviser to go over it with her today. Also, I'm wiring my half of the pricey deposit to the dorm today, so once that's done, we officially have a place! Now all we need is for Cade's visa letter to come in and we're all set to go to Houson and apply!
