I'm approved!


With less than 1 week until I arrive in Peru, the University had still not decided to release my grant money, putting me in quite an awkward position. Until today! Although it will be a few days until a nice fat amount lands in my starving bank account, they have "approved" my project (read: believe I won't be using it to buy a yacht) and just need to wire it to me. Phew. It was getting close there!


I should note that the school is being, ahem, less than reasonable about releasing all of the money. They've only given me 3/4's of it (the amount directly going to the villagers) and will "reimburse" me the rest of it (my personal expenses). That's a bit ridiculous, I think, but I have to work with what I've got.
