3 Days.

3 days until Sabrina gets here. :) I can't wait. It's going to be amazing. She's going to be here for an entire month! So I've been cleaning & unpacking like crazy, trying to get this house cleared out before she arrives. I can't wait to meet new people and go new places. I have to figure out how to go places with the Marta busses and trains though.

I recently found out that the school I'm probably going to in the spring, Georgia State University, offers exchange student programs to Belfast & Newcastle in the UK and SWEDEN! I'm excited as I don't see why I can't go there, you know? And if Film and Video is going to be one of my majors then I might even be able to study in Italy for a while. We'll see what happens, but Sweden & the UK are at the top of my list. I lived in Sweden for years and the UK fascinates me. I'm actually almost full-blooded Irish and that explains why my hair always stays a reddish tint, no matter what color I dye it.

I want to do things that most other people don't do, so that my perspective on life, and the rest of the world, will be different. Then I might have the chance to make a difference some how. :)

Oh, and new South Park episodes start in a week! :D

Exchange Student in Sweden?

Today I babysat two boys and made some moolah, and in addition to that, I found out some great news. I have been planning on either going to Georgia State University or the Georgia Technical Institute (Georgia Tech) in the spring if I stay in the US. Georgia Tech is the one I want to go to the most because I am interested in possibly becoming an X-ray technician, and come to find out that Georgia Tech actually has an exchange program to a school in Sweden called Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan. I've even heard of that school, and best of all, it's in Stockholm! This might work! :)

Oh and about babysitting, I got paid for doing absolutely nothing. I played Guitar Hero with the youngest boy Austin, who's 8 years old (by the way he kicked my ass on Guitar Hero, and I'm actually not bad, so WOW), watched him play Halo and Harry Potter on his xbox 360, and watched Harry Potter & the Prisoner From Azkaban. Then I let their dog out a few times which took like 2 minutes each time, and I ordered pizza. I made $70 for 8-9 hours of that! Awesome! :D
