I only decided two Tuesdays ago that I would be going to England in January. I had a meeting with the director of Study Abroad with the intention of planning my trip to England in the summer. After some discussion, she had me convinced that it would be much better for me to go in the Spring instead (cheaper, longer, more credits).
The only downside is that I now have a mere 2 & 1/2 months to get everything done. This means getting a passport, buying plane tickets, applying to the foreign school, finding funds, filling the various and extensive required paperwork, and generally preparing myself and my things. Oh, and I had to tell my boss that I wouldn't be working for her anymore come the end of the semester. It wasn't terrible. She didn't fire me, anyway.
I applied for the passport today, but its going to take 4-6 weeks to get here! Egad! For now I'm going to do as much paperwork as possible and tonight I'll start seeing what kind of deals I can get for flights. Wish me luck!
