I can’t believe how productive I’ve been! I’m amazing myself. Look at how productive I’ve been this week:

Sunday I:
- emailed my academic adviser about writing me a letter of recommendation and setting up a time to talk about my courses.
- also emailed HyeJin to let her know about my acceptance. I’m waiting to hear back from her.

Monday I:
- called the Student Health Center about getting the dates for my immunizations and getting a letter from a doctor stating my medical condition. I found out that I can just walk in and get both of those. I was originally planning on doing it this week, but I think I’m going to wait and do it next week, because of money issues.
- made an appointment with my study abroad adviser and met with him. Didn’t have too much to talk about, but I got a little bit of clarification on a couple points.
- visited my academic advisor (who hadn’t read my email yet) and gave him the interview form to fill out in lieu of a letter of recommendation. I was told to get back to him Thursday (today) or Friday about making an appointment to discuss courses.
- Took out $500 from my savings account to use as the deposit needed to save my seat.

Tuesday I:
- paid my library fines to clear holds on my account and paid for an official transcript.
- ordered and received a copy of my official transcripts
- Got a money order with the money I had withdrawn so the study abroad office would accept it.

Wednesday I:
- decided with my mom that we would take the picture needed for the application ourselves so I won’t have to pay money to get it done.

Today I am going to try to remember to stop by my academic adviser’s office to get the interview form and to see if he’s in so I can make an appointment with him.

I’m worried about money. I’m low on cash and me consistently waking up late does not help with the whole not spending thing I was trying to do. I’m just going to have to cut back even more on my entertainment outings and hope for the best. Wish me luck!

Hey Maria!

Maybe you should use this as a travel/trip journal while you're gone... It's an idea... ::hugs::
