And comes February!

Sorry it's been so long since I've updated. Things have been... well, uneventful. I haven't had much of anything to update about. That's the problem with not being on the trip. But oh well.

With the strawberries, I have had much success. I've easily made $350 in just over a week. Add that to the money from the Bake it for You sale, and I've got my student Visa. Next thing on the list: plane tickets.

Wish me luck!

St. Valentine's Day

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted. Oops. I'll have to be making those blogs up soon...

So, updates on my trip:

As part of the Bake it for You Sale, for Valentine's day, I've been dipping chocolate strawberries... and I was just AMAZED at how many people ordered! In two days I had made about $250, and people are still ordering strawberries (and other chocolate dipped fruits) for later dates as well.

And, that means that I have officially earned my Student Visa! I just need to get enrolled at the school in Australia, and then I can apply, and hopefully have it in the next month or two.

Next item on my list of things to save up for: plane ticket. So... we'll have to see how that goes.

Good news is, is because the weather is getting warmer, I'll be able to start doing more things than just cooking for everyone. Soon enough I'll be mowing lawns, weeding, and spring cleaning types of things.

Just $1500 left to go... wish me luck!
