Every time I think about study abroad things, I get more depressed. The Belfast program, apparently, is only in the fall, and if I do get to study abroad it has to be in the spring of next year, because my senior year I have to take a fall and spring combination course while writing my honors thesis-- and yes, I am determined to do that and graduate in the honors college. Studying abroad spring of my junior year would also be the optimal time to do research, so I could write my paper on something celtic and awesome. But apparently, fate is against me. If I go to Glasgow, even through Millersville the worst-case scenario in USD (assuming the exchange rates don't go too crazy) is $14500 for one semester, and that's probably an optimistic worst-case scenario. Going to U College Cork through another university is even worse ($15500, and you might say, what's another $1000? but believe me, it's quite a lot when one doesn't remotely have the $10000+ to make up the difference in cost.) For reference, Millersville tuition is $6,398 annually.
At this point I don't even know why I bother to dream.
