About a week ago my trip to Mérida, Venezuela (last Monday, actually) was approved, and since I'm not too bad about taking pictures, but not too good about sharing them or writing letters, I thought I'd give this a shot.
This is a study abroad trip for school. I am currently a Philosophy major at the U of M, Morris campus. You don't have to click on every link - I just put them in in case any explanations are wanted - & not everybody will want them.
Last year I tried to get into three different trips, the first two were canceled & the third was full by the time I had applied. I'd had enough pointless paperwork & wasn't about to try for #4. I was looking into a few this year (school year), but when I started looking at what was offered at other U of M campuses, this opportunity really stood out. It runs about 3 months, & in that time I can get in an entire year of college level Spanish (in addition to the immersion of living there) as well as finishing off my science requirements.
How is it possible to have an AAS in CVN with 80+ science credits & still have more needed? I don't know - still scratching my head on that one, but as it turns out I'll be taking Tropical Ecology (in a rain-forest) and Field Botany in the Andes (do I need to point out that this is in The Andes?). I'm really not too upset about getting in a little more science, especially considering the circumstances.
