A KILO amount of money

Hoorah! Just FYIing-I reached the thousand dollar mark yesterday! I just needed to share that with anyone who may read this! Now I'm off to hit the books again... two more finals! PS Thank you all SOOO much for the donations and/or the love notes! You all rock!

Wow!

So far, from the letters that I have sent out I have received $693.75 in donations. I have had donations from $1.75 to 100 DOLLARS!! I can't believe how generous my friends and family are! It looks at this point in time that I might only be able to go for a month or so, which would be fine! If that were the case though, I would like to go in March, because then I could still go to school in the Spring. I have checked with my professors and told them that I would be missing about 4 weeks of school (being in Africa for 5, but one of those weeks being spring break...) and all of them that I have heard back from have given me the go ahead and said that I could definitely do work ahead of time, fortunately I have a job that is pretty flexible and would allow me to do that. If I am able to go to school for spring semester, I will graduate with my BA in December! I would be 21! So I may be going to Africa for the month of March! Woot Woot! Thank you family, friends and neighbors for your support!!! I love you all so much!

PS Alyson, if you ever read this, I am NOT using the money to go on a vacation to Hawaii :)
