decisions, decisions

Okay, a update again.

Sam is doing well, and he even got his hair cut! I'll take his picture later for proof.

I'm same old, same old.

Okay, preface, Some people seem to think I just come up with stuff off the cuff but that is soo not true of me, just because I talk/write something doesn't mean I haven't thought about it for at Least 3 weeks. I just don't let others in on my thinking process. So the next statement means I have been thinking of doing either option for a while. One for 2 months and the other for about a month and a half.

I've been thinking of what I want to do the summer after I graduate and I have two thoughts. I'm kind of torn because they are both the complete opposite of each other and the prices are very different also. I wanted to voice them out and see what other's thought about each option. Emailing me would be great (it would prove that I have people reading...since no one comments).

Option 1: Cruise, around the Caribbean, $700 but have to add in price of either gas to drive to Tampa, FL or a plane ticket so probably est. $300, so $1,100 in total ish, before excursions, which I don't have prices for. It would be for 7 days and 6 nights.

Option 2: Volunteering in Brazil (I am fascinated by the culture and the country interests me is the reason behind this country). For a month it would be $3000 not including Airfare, which is $900-1,100 depending on the time. A lot more expensive but more worthwhile use of my time and I want/like to help people. I would be going through crossculturealsolutions, and helping in an orphanage.

So what's the verdict?

Obviously I am going to have to fundraise if I do the second option because of the price tag but it is for a month. The first one I can swing by saving for the next few months. I have a little time before I make a decisions but I want to have a firm plan in place before september.

Summer

Summer is here in force, triple digits and all.

I am so glad from the break from school, just wished they hadn't raised tuition once again. Uhh, three more years before finishing with school forever, wonder how much more they can raise it (sarcasm intended).

Job one is going great, I love my co-workers and bosses, we are always playing pranks on one another. This week we are plotting what to do to my boss that is away, changing her background is something that is expected so we are trying to think outside the box. I should take pictures...maybe, not the best at doing that...

Starting tomorrow (I keep pushing it off but I will begin tomorrow) I am starting to studying for my GRE, not looking forward to it. I am horrible at math, but I need a good grade so I can apply for scholarships, time to suck it up and study.

I promise (E and GP) that I will be posting pictures from my B.C. within 2 weeks. (Just email/nag me to...)
