Ahhhh.... fresh Air and more!!!

First step for this week was to complete my registration for my Study Abroad Program,
1st-This means completing my application, paying my fees(which means going to this darn job that I hate!) and getting my immunizations by setting up a doctors appointment.
SO...
I had an appointment for teusday 4-14, I found out that my insurance does not cover my immunization and I have to come up with $360 US Dollars(:( ) before friday because my application is due on Friday. (In the works)
Next weeks first step is to have my application completed! Plus immunization
Purchase travelers insurance $$$
Put down my security deposit for study abroad$$$$$$
Purchase my ticket for Morocco, and extend my ticket for Nigeria.
Awww.... this is alot but it's got to get done!

2nd-
I will be leaving for Nigeria in May, my next step is to start shopping for things that I need.
So...
I've completed half of my shopping as far as clothes and safety needs(Medication, First Aid Kit etc.)
next weeks first step is to complete my packing! COMPLETEELY!

BUDDY....
Finding a buddy has been of a difficult task.
But this week I used my cousin Janet as my buddy, she is cool, we talk about our process of finding our goal in life all the time!
Okay,
I discussed my fear with her.
My fear is not knowing what to expect in Africa and being overwhelmed by the expenses that I am incurring.
She said take it one step at a time, write down all that I have to do, how much it costs and when do I need to complete it by.

We also discussed potential adventures that I can involve myself with whie in Africa.
While on this trip I intend to meet with the Nigerian governor, Fashola and interview him regarding potentials for working with Lagos in the future. As well as volunteer work that i can participate in this summer while I am in Africa. I called my father and discussed this with him.... and you wouldn't believe what happened next!
My father gave me the Governors number!
So, I will be calling him to introduce myself, possibly interviewing him and setting up an appointment while on my visit! (I am nervous to interview him, so i postponed the interview for later this week.)


We talked
