When I think of all the countries I have considered......(today, part I)
You know, when my friends Danielle and Ybelka and I decided to come abroad, meeting up to see eachother in our designated counties (England, France, Spain) seemed highly probable; after all-who goes to Europe and does not see thier friends in neighboring countries?We do.
Apparently.
First, it was Morocco- a mishap that was completely the fault of me and Ybelka-respectively. See, we are poor folk-now I KNOW what you are thinking right? "Well, if you guys are so poor, then how did you get over to Europe?"
and to that I say, "Good question!" We took out loans (that would be since I am the laziest person ever) and we worked goddamn hard! (that would be Ybelka and Danielle). Now, I do believe that me and Ybelka however may be the poorest study abroad students in the history of study abroad-LOL.
So, yes, Morocco is now a no go. Well, how about Cairo and Alexandria (how cool! we get to say we went to Egypt-na na na na na!!!)
Yeah, o.k. Right. For like 500 dollars??? PLEASE. Sure, we know we are gonna be in dept-but that doesn't mean that we really wanna be in an all time high can't get out it debt. That would be ridiculous and really hard to pay off!
Greece was initially considered by both girls in February....but we are soon realizing that, there are so many places to go, and simply not enough time! (or mooolah-most importantly) But this evening, I thought: Hey! Lets go to Greece! Well, unless I want to pay 600-700 dollars for a flight, that is not going to happen. And guess what? The cheap airlines: Ryanair, EasyJet-don't even go there! WTF?????
So, next on the List:
Scotland. This is the second time someone has hopped online and said 'Kristal, lets go to Glasglow" and I am like...."umm....o.k...never really thought of Scotland like that but....for how much?"
See, and today, this evening was what I call the Clincha (pronounced cleennchaaa) as in Clincher with an accent. I can apprarently go to Scotland for 153 american dollars. That is great! Excellent! Fantastic!
Except, I don't really wann go. (I know right now I gets no sympathy from whoever is reading this, but so be it man, so be it!) And to top it off, there are really cheap Hostels, and I DO want to see my friend, but Scotland? That is wack.
Tomorrow we will meet again on our friend AIM (what did study abroad students do before AIM to keep in touch w/ eachother?) to figure it out. We will probably go, but I REALLY wanted to go w/ her to Spain (she went already the sneak!) or Italy (I am already assigned to go April 9th with a bunch of girls here) but still, nothing could compare to travelling Italy w/ my roomie from last semester! :cue sighs and awwws: .....I just want to meet with my friends man! That is IT!!!!
