Feeling the Pressure

July, incredibly, is almost over. It is amazing how fast this month has gone by. This morning, Joan asked me what the day was and he really was amazed at not only how fast this month as gone by but the year as well!

My Spanish class is almost over and I feel like I have learned a lot. I want to sign up for the September course as well if I can. Next month I will have two weeks of Spanish with Clara and then Nikki and Eryn will be here! I really want the next few weeks to move at a turtle's pace because once August is here, that month to will fly by.

For the last few hours I've been contemplating my next move. I'm trying to enroll in school as soon as possible. I have found a few today that Joan and I will call and check out in the next couple weeks. In order to get my transcripts, I have to pay $2,700.00 to Northwest. Lucky for me that's only 1,757.98 € in Spain. Still a lot, but definetly better. I am thinking about enrolling as a new student, a freshman and then changing my status later when I can get my transcripts. First, I must see if this is even possible.

Another thing on my to-do list is FIND A JOB! It seems so impossible. I really want to take an online course in September to get my degree in teaching English to foreigners and then try to find a job with that. I hope to start school a.s.a.p in order to stop having to pay my loans each month but I may not be able to start until Janurary. And then, once I start, How do I let all my loans know I'm back in school? I don't even know how many I have or how to find out! My goodness.

I am very lucky to have Joan who loves me, my family that supports me and friends who are there to listen. I know everything will work out, somehow or another it always does.

In other news, my sorority sister Nicole is in Spain now visiting one of her friends. She is only about two hours away from me and will take the train to Lloret (or Barcelona) this Friday to visit. I am so excited for that! Xander is traveling around Europe and should be in Spain within the next few weeks so that will hold me over until Nikki and Eryn arrive. ALSO Joan's friends from Ireland will be staying three nights with us in August. So, in otherwords I need to start charging room and board.
