Seminary, South Africa, Scotland or Boston
It set in today that I’m going to seminary in February, not in the typical, “God can take that sense of humor and shove it” cynicism which I’m known for, but on the financial front. See, I had been planning to go to the Congress of the World Association of Christian Communication in Cape Town, South Africa next October.
Not going to happen with airfare over $2,000.
So I decided to maybe package it with a backpacking through Europe approach. I thought about going out east this January to visit people, and figured I’d save money for my world travels by not going.
*ting* Seminary costs money, and since I’m starting on the special student path, no financial aid for moi.
Kind of bummed out about the South Africa trip the most.
