too much

I finally found a website with a listing of the off-campus May Term opportunities and didn't really see anything I liked (the selection seems heavily related to biology and conservation, which are interesting topics but not what I want to do in another country for a month). Then I clicked on "Turkey" and found this amazing traditional arts program that sounds like a perfect, blissful way to spend a month. Calligraphy! Marbling! Weaving! Dyeing! Individual work with a Turkish craftsperson! Writing! Then I scrolled down a bit further and saw the cost. It's a lot more than any of the other programs I read about...($2635 + $250 school enrollment fees + $100 visa + $800 for the flights). I could spend my life savings and still be very far from having enough.

Well, at least I had a couple of very exciting, happy minutes.
