Paperwork, Paperwork and more Paperwork...and 6 MONTHS!

I have never had so much paperwork to do in my life. I think I have been to just about every academic office at my school so far. Study abroad, academic services, student life, registrar, dean's office, 2 advisers, the receptionist at the Business School has begun to recognize me! I still have lots of signatures to obtain.

At this time, since being accepted and getting put into the system for that, I have put in my leave of absence from Gonzaga, which is mandatory. The school requires me to "leave" for the semester I am gone since I will technically be enrolled in another university.

I have completed a change of advisor as well. That is not required at all. I don't think you technically even need to meet with your advisor, nope never mind, that course approval form says you must see your advisor. I changed my advisor because she is more experienced with what I am truly interested in. She is also my consumer behavior professor, graduated from Gonzaga, studied abroad with Gonzaga in Florence and Volunteered with the Jesuit Volunteer Corp. The other guy had been her advisor when she was a student, shows his age a bit.

Finally as you all know I have been getting course approval. The dean's office never called to let me know that he signed the forms, but luckily after my consumer behavior class this morning I went to their office and he had just finished signing them! Great timing oh yeah!

After the course approval I had to go drop everything off at the registrars office. The people there are so nice and knowledgeable. If you have a question they probably know the answer and if they don't know the answer they will tell you exactly where to go to get the answer.

I've been able to get a lot of paperwork done, but of course it won't end till I am on that ship waving goodbye to whoever goes to Nova Scotia with me, if any one.

SPEAKING OF EMBARKATION DAY! It is EXACTLY 6 months till we embark on this amazing journey! Are you excited? I'm excited. Of course I'm excited I'm the one going, but aren't you EXCITED!? Of course you are!  =D

Well it's Friday and I am going to play black light mini-golf with some friends tonight. Should be mountain loads of fun! Have a happy Friday!

Port of Halifax Nova Scotia. According to my friend Adam a really terrible explosion happened here. Maybe I'll find out more when I go there in 6 months!
