Paper work and ISV

If after reading my blog you think to yourself, "You know, I really should do something like this." Then this next post is for you.

YES YES YES! I would encourage everyone to do something like this, whether it be a program like this a or some sort of work study through their school.

If you're going with a program like this, though, be prepared for lots of paper work. Don't get me wrong, they make it as easy as possible, but there is still paper work.

Today I filled out my project preference form, my liability release form, and part of my flight options form (I still need to mail it in as well as write a check for my deposit).

About a week ago I went to the local post office and applied for a passport, which had paper work as well.

You would think all this paper work would kill me. But really, I like it because each form is like taking one step toward my goal. It is like a small high every time I finish one.

So here is how the flight goes: they have a group flight leaving from Miami, FL on July 23 and a group flight coming back on the August 19. I have to book my own flights to Miami and back. Plan is to shop around for the best prices and also to try to give myself as much time in between as possible in case things go wrong. They have two flights and I don't know which one I'll be on just yet and each leaves at slightly different times. So I'll have to hold off on buying my tickets.

My next step for right now is to get my insurance all figured out. They require travel and overseas insurance, which is no big deal and should be fairly easy to deal with, but because of some other situations it makes it a bit more tricky for me. But that is a long story for another day, another post.
