PLANS PLANS EVERWHERE ARE PLANS

    HOLY CRAP!
So the emailing has started; I've already been in contact with people from University College Roosevelt (henceforth known as UCR) about housing and rooms and rent and, and, and...
It really takes a lot to put something like this together.
         In case you didn't know that.
Now, I'm not saying I thought it was easy-breezy, but there's definitely a lot to think about!

NOTE: FOR THOSE WHO PLAN ON GOING ON EXCHANGE, BE PERSISTANT WITH EMAILS!!!

     If I have learned anything thus far, it's to not feel bad for emailing people, even if you do it multiple times a day. IT IS THEIR JOB TO HELP YOU!! The way I look at it, I'm the one going to a totally different country, jumping into a place that I've never actually seen before. I don't know how it works. BUT the person on the other side of the email does.
Have a question? Ask it!
Need information? Ask for it!
It is much better to be the annoying girl who is over informed than to show up one day, and have no idea what is going on.

On top of school info, Mom picked me up some books about Netherlands and Amsterdam. In my opinion, it is important to know as much about the place you are going as POSSIBLE!!! It will be a comfort when I land to know that there will be canals, that they ride a lot of bikes, etc, rather than be plopped down and go "WOAH!!!! WTF IS WITH THE BIKES?!"
       Get my drift?
Plus, the more information you get, the less worried and freaked out you feel, and you can actually start getting excited!!!!!!!
After all, I'll be there soon.
