Welp, I'm within the year mark and I still have a lot of work ahead of me--BUT--I've secured a third job to accompany my various endeavors so I can save enough for my student visa. It turns out that applying for the Marshall and the Fulbright were not in the cards for me this year, but I'm sure I have the ability to hustle to make do. I have been continuously down-sizing my belongings and researching various funding options so I can be as prepared as possible. As of right now, my main goal is to work and save as much as possible (along with completing my fall term courses). I have reached an accord with some family members who are willing to pitch in on some expenses, so the ball is rolling! Now to save and sell off the remainder of my belongings so I can commence my Scotland sojourn next fall.
