I was amazed by what was going on in Dubai and couldn't believe I hadn't heard of this city before! That same day I knew this was where I had to study abroad. The problem was that the University of Michigan did not have a study abroad program for Dubai. After researching universities I found that the American University in Dubai (AUD) had a study abroad program, was in a great location, and that there was a way to attend for free.
It took me 8 months to plan and gather all of the materials to apply to be a Clinton Scholar at AUD. This program offers free tuition and housing to 10 US students per term, funded by Bill Clinton. Two months later I received notice that I got the scholarship! I was ecstatic!
I leave for the airport in 1 (ONE) hour! I can't wait! First, I have a 10 hour layover in Amsterdam, so I am going out on the town. All together I will be flying for 15 hours...phew. Stories from Amsterdam are soon to come.
Damn David ... thats it? lol .... Have FUN
