Oh the places I'll go!

It's been a while since my last post. Although I think it's logical anyway since this is a "wandering" blog and I haven't really wandered much anyway.

We're down to the last week of class and graduation is fast approaching. After graduation comes the biggest hurdle that's keeping me from getting excited about my trip - the dreaded audit cpa exam. As usual, I've been drowning in travel books and trip preparations that I've literally spent days if not weeks just reading and researching. I really need to get on the ball with studying and pass Audit - what a pain that would be to have to revisit that when I come back. Talk about depressing!

So anyway, Summer 2010 is IT. This trip did not start out to be the round-the-world trip that it is now. It started out as a 3-week study abroad program in Prague which blew up into a 1.5 month Euro excursion. Then while I was getting quotes for my airfare, I was toying with the idea of visiting the Philippines one last time before starting work. It wasn't much to add to go to the Phils so I bit the bullet and went for it. Financially, it's stressed me out a LOT. But I've been so blessed that $2500 have literally come from nowhere and everywhere and unburdened me of some of the costs associated with the trip. God is good!
