I was flabbergasted when I learned I had been accepted to a summer program at
Wycliffe Hall, one of the colleges within Oxford University. I applied over winter break and then waited anxiously for their decision. It was a relief and a source of more anxiety! Oh joy. I have a slew of paperwork to complete by the 15th of March. More concernedly, I also have to raise/ find around $8,300 dollars. Suggestions on how to do that would be appreciated. My main two approaches are 1) apply for scholarships and 2) ask people for money, which I really don't like to do, but I'm not sure why. According to
this article, even bank robbing isn't that lucrative.
When I get there, I'll be taking two seminars and a lecture series, as well as 4 field trips that are built into the program. After the program, I'm planning on taking some time in the UK and the Continent. I can put my pitiable French to the test.
All this is assuming that I get the funding, of course, so prayers for peace and funding would be greatly appreciated. I also broke my camera, so good suggestions on where to get a new one would be appreciated.
Matthew 6
In all this, I pray that I am seeking first the Kingdom of God, and not just the treasures of this world.
