'dem mighty greenbacks dun struck back again

So...the financial aid department at my school is officially a HOT MESS! They're giving me a hard time--what's new? I've been trying to get aid for my study abroad trip for the longest, and the process just got longer. Yay! (: I) What I don't understand is how the FAFSA keeps insisting that my parents can contribute a certain amount that they really cannot. And I don't understand why I don't have any other options except scholarships or to make my parents accept a loan. If I don't want my parents to pay, then why can't I just opt out of this and get a loan in my name? It's my debt!


Anyways, I'm so excited about my trip to Spain! And it looks like I might also get to go on an excursion to Morocco--Woot Woot! So, I got the email about this trip from the study abroad people, read it... 'Cool', I said, but "where is it again?" Yeah, so I posted a map for people like me. It's ok to admit it, you don't really know everything! lol. Now that I know where it is, I'm definitely siked. I've always wanted to go to Africa!


Check out this pic:

So, this is a picture of a belly dancer in Morocco that I found off of their tourism website. Looks fun, but I'm not really sure what the guy in the background is doing...it just don't look right! lol
If they offer belly dancing classes there, I will be the first one on the list!
