Checking things of the Sweden "To-Do" list

Although I don't have an apartment, funding, or an official schedule...I'll be in Sweden on August 27! I decided that I just have be confident that everything will work out. I'm learning a lesson in patience and faith...that's for sure! I've been tracking the flights for a couple of weeks and found a great deal, so I had to jump on it. At least the to-do list is getting shorter, and not longer....right?

I haven't been able to sleep because all of these ideas keep swirling in my head. My new endeavor is to try and organize a send-off/fundraising recital to do here in Cincinnati before I go. It's moments like these where it would be nice to play the flute...because I have to worry about logistics - where to have it? can I get the proper instruments? will friends come down to play with me? yadda, yadda, yadda. In my head it seems like a great idea, but I still need to figure out the details.

I also need to approach more foundations and investors to try and get some financial assistance. I still have a few live applications out there, so keep your fingers crossed that something will go through! And if you have any ideas, please let me know!

Lastly, I also just purchased some software to learn Swedish. We all know that I can barely speak English sometimes, so this should be fun... :)
