First Step Completed!

I am super excited/anxious right now because in 3 months, I'll be flying back to my 2nd home in Beijing! Its been 1 1/2 years since I've been back and I have been saving up money since my return to the states so that I could eventually do another study abroad.
I promise that I'll do a better job blogging. In my last BLCU blog, which can be found here, I only posted 35 posts while I was in Beijing for 3 months which is pitiful.
Hopefully I can chronicle more the more technical aspects of applying to BLCU so that prospective students can be more confident about studying there.

So today I sent in my application to BLCU. Inside included:
  • Application
  • Picture of myself (.6 cents to develop)
  • Application fee receipt($75 USD with $20 bank fee)
  • Copy of my passport and one of my parents
Cost to send the envelope was $3.12. Total to apply cost about $99 USD.
Hopefully everything will get there safe and sound. Last time, I sent in my application at about the same time and got the school information back 3-4 weeks later.

This time I'm doing the same program but 20 hours a week instead. I'd like to see if I can tutor English and/or take classes to pass the HSK so I can work in China in the future, which is like the TOEFL in English
