So, England for Spring 2009? Granted, I've only given it a day of thought, and I have until September to decide, but this is sort of a hard decision. Let's do a pros and cons list. Pros - Getting out of the US - Having a whole month off to explore Europe - Actually having a chance to make friends (apparently they love Americans?) - The classes/workload is suppose to be sooo much easier than here at PSU - Having Mariah and Josh possibly visit me during that month off - Getting to buy a new laptop (hah) Cons - Being away from Josh for 4 months - Being away from muh boys and muh family for 4 months - The plane ride - Being by myself, since I don't actually know anyone at Plymouth let alone someone who would also be going - The cost of traveling Those are all I've come up with so far. I'm just not sure if I want to go for the sheer reason of getting out of the US and getting to travel, or if I actually want to go for school/studying. It will screw up my studies here completly, since that semester I would be in my second clusters (certain courses I have to take for education). I do have a couple extra gen eds I have to take... I guess I'm look at it just from it being a great experience sort of light. Like meeting people, seeing great places (Stonehenge! The bench at Oxford from His Dark Materials! Other countries!).

I say go for it! And not just because I'll get to go!!! It will be a good learning experience, as well as traveling, because I know I'M sick of only seeing New England.
