things to do

in the next few weeks, i have a lot to do in preparation for this crazy semester ahead of me.

some items on my to-do list include:
-applying for my visas to china and india
-contacting my health services to talk about and get immunizations
-get a physical
-send in all the forms for SAS
-attend a registration session at unh to determine which credits will transfer, etc.
-attend a mandatory orientation to go abroad
-get a credit card
-figure out what to do in each port (SAS offers excursions in each port that are "all-inclusive," meaning they do all the leg work and make reservations, etc. i definitely want to do a few of these trips, but i also want to plan some independent trips with other students who want to see different things.)
-register for classes! there is a 12 credit minimum, which works out to 4 classes with some optional seminars. everyone is required to take a global studies course that discusses each port, it's history and prepares students for what they will see. there are some other really interesting courses, i am really hoping to get into a course entitled "history & political geography of the oceans." i am excited to take classes that are outside of the realm of comm-dis, it'll be fun.
-make a packing list, and then.. pack!


oh, and while i'm at it i'll be working on my full course load up here, giving tours, doing community service projects and trying not to get too ahead of myself. :)
