I just sent off the paperwork for the program to the office that runs it.  The forms have definitely been the not-so-fun part of this process but I just keep telling myself that it will all be worth it.  Unfortunately, the part of me that doesn’t believe I’m actually going is trying to convince the rest of me that if I said something wrong on those forms, they’ll kick me out of the program or something.  I’m hoping the rest of me remains unconvinced.

Next on the list:  buying my plane ticket.
