All of my paper work is complete!!! This seriously has been a weight lifted off my shoulders! Here's the run down on why it was so complicated:
My program is independent of Texas A&M. Because of that, I was not aware of all the additional paperwork I had to complete with the A&M Study Abroad office in addition to my program's paper work. So I waltz in (weeks after all of A&M's deadlines were past) wondering if there was anything I needed to do. Thankfully I met a very forgiving advisor! She was so helpful, and I assume it was because she has dealt with this many times before. She extended the deadline for me and gave me a list of places around campus I needed to go. After two days of biking and sweating all over campus, I finally got everything turned it!
So the lesson I learned is before going into any kind of program, make sure you understand EVERYTHING that you need to complete!
1 1/2 months to go before my adventure!

About Me
- Allison
- Hi, I'm Allison! I am a fun loving, adventure seeking, music and cooking obsessed 23 year old. In December of 2012, I graduated from Texas A&M University. This was a bittersweet achievement for me. On one hand, I entered the real world to hopefully out all my training and skills to use. On the other hand, I left the best place on earth where I had some of the best experiences of my life. Now I'm living in Houston working with Saint Arnold Brewing Company. Join me as I make my way out into the world without my safety net of college, and hope I can adjust!
