As if I haven't thought of it all yet!
Do you know what frustrates me to no end? Family members who are suddenly acting as if I haven't thought about literally everything about going to Australia this summer. Mostly the financial situation. The constant question of "well how are you going to afford it?" and the sudden "I don't think you've actually thought this through completely..."
YES I HAVE. I've been thinking about this since I first came to Potsdam.
I KNOW it's expensive. Don't they realize I know it's expensive? Don't they realize that's why I applied for scholarships? Don't they realize that's why I've been collecting the cans/bottles to return? Don't they understand that's why I want to do one of the Hershey bar fundraisers? I have thought about it. I've been thinking about it all for, literally, years now. Why, all of the sudden, am I being criticized by them for this?
They know how badly I want this. They know how excited I was to get the email about the study abroad program this summer. They know. So I don't understand why, now that it's finally happening, it feels like all they all want to do is tear me down.
If you would like to donate towards my being about to go on this study abroad trip, please check out my page on GoFundMe. http://www.gofundme.com/562lyw
