On Monday, I was presented with a once in lifetime opportunity -- to perform in England for a whole month this summer. Excuse me?! Act in England?! Things like this don't just happen! In July '11, I would venture to England with five other people to perform at an estate that looks like it's right out of a Jane Austen book. We would live in the Northampton campus dorms and receive six college credits. Not only would we be able to travel to surrounding cities in England, but also to Paris, Italy, and Scotland! I feel a pro/con list coming on.
Pros:
-Once in a lifetime experience (especially because it's perhaps the last year they're ever going)
-College credit
-Integrated in culture, not just tourists
-Um, hello? Acting in England!
Cons:
-Money. Lots of it.
-Yep, it's basically just money that falls under the con list. However, I could possibly get financial aid through the Study Abroad program and sponsors as well.
This decision is eating me up. Do I take a risk, despite the money, and live in ol' England for a month? Or do I consider other opportunities available, such as a paid internship in Hawaii for three months? Decisions, decisions...
Might I be the first to say - I love your bloggings. Yep. Bloggings. Here's what I say about England...if you can get the money, DO IT. I'd miss you terribly, but that is such a freaking awesome opportunity! Ultimately though, go with your gut. But seriously, that'd be so cool.
