So I received the dreaded e-mail today that I was not accepted into the London Study Abroad Program. Needless to say, I'm pretty disappointed. I mostly knew that I wouldn't get in - although, I haven't the slightest idea why not. I don't really have anything profound to say about it, except that I know the Lord has a plan for me - I just don't know what that plan is yet. My mother, bless her heart, has never been much of the nurturing type. Her idea of nurturing is talking sense into me - which is always appreciated (but sometimes I just wish she'd tell me what I want to hear!). When I called her to tell her she said, "Oh I'm sorry. Well, the Lord does things for a reason - who knows what is going to happen!?" And I replied with, "Apparently not me, and I HATE it!"
It's true. I'm the planning type. I like to have things planned out ahead of time so that I can live accordingly. Not knowing what I'm doing this summer or what the future holds sometimes just makes me want to kill over from an anxiety attack. Haha.

Sorry you don't get to abroad Raechel. I hope whatever you do end up doing this summer is just as exciting.
So it's been a while since I left a comment...that definitely is a bubble burster. I'm sorry Raechel. Want to know what I would recommend? I think you should go somewhere anyways. You already put the money aside to go to London and it was something you really wanted to do. This may be your last big chance to go on a big adventure to another place so I say do it! It doesn't have to be an "official" study abroad. Pick things you want to learn about and go somewhere and make the most amazing summer of your life. Just make a decision and make it right. You could even do a volunteer project for a few months over in Romania or another poorer country (my aunt went to Romania) and then tour Europe afterwards. You know how they always say you regret more the things you didn't do than the things you did? I'm pretty sure it's true.
