Yay!!! I got some money for my walkabout awarded to me from the Assistance League. Waiting for the presentation was nerve racking. I missed the bus and had to ask my dad for a ride to school (which I felt bad for doing but had no other choice). I got to school about ten minutes early and waited nervously with Harmony in the hallway for a while (neither of us had any idea what this "presentation" entailed), then individually we were called to present. When I say present it was more like answering questions about my family and things that I've done during my time at The Graham School. This I liked, because it gave me less of an opportunity to make myself look dumb (which happens alot when I present). In the end everything went okay, I may have babbled a little too much and answered questions about my family inadequately but all in all I seemed to have left a good impression and in retrospect don't see too many incredibly embarrassing mishaps in my interview/ presentation. So now (in one day) I managed to get about a quarter of my trip paid for and a little more than half of the funds covered. Tomorrow I get to follow up call a Cross Cultural Solution representative who didn't have a definite answer to my enrollment date question that I asked today and afterwards I get to badger Amy about how to apply my funding to actual fees and get an idea about what's going on about the Walkabout Fund. So tomorrow should be pretty busy. Depending on how things go I'll either be definitely going to Morocco or definitely be going to St.Croix... Wish me luck!
In the past two days I feel as though I've gotten so much accomplished. I no longer feel idle. On the Advanced Algebra front I plan on staying at school after 3rd period and getting all caught up on math. Any questions I have I'll ask Roger after school. It's time I get this math grade under control, I don't want my interim grade to be hanging over me during my walkabout. I still have two weeks to bring up my grade but I'd rather be pretty much caught up this week and use the rest of my time before walkabout as an opportunity to boost my grade and really solidify my passing status. In the mean time I have some studying to do so I'll leave you here.
Until next time...
