haha that's what everyone says, we all get so attached to our own instructor...well if you ever find yourself in Baton Rouge...in the next 6 or so months, you'll have to swing by one of my classes...and if I am lucky enough to end up in Zagreb next year, we'll for sure have to meet up when you come through to visit!

yep, I also teach Zumba on the side...jack of many trades

I did an Australian working holiday...but not through them, it's actually just a visa that Australia offers to American citizens called a working holiday visa, you pay like $300 or something like that for the visa and then you can work any job over there with the only restrictions being that the visa lasts 1 year and you can't work in any one place for longer than 6 months, and you can only ever get that visa once in your life. That being said, I've worked in a lot of food service in my life and I went over there wanting to be in a cafe where i could meet people and have a flexible schedule. I ended up finding a fabulous job at an awesome cafe, their minimum wage pay for work like that is through the roof and I was in a more touristy part of town where many people tipped over that amount too, and it was owned by someone who had a whole string of restaurants in the same area so they were able to switch me on pay roll to one of the other restaurants so I could keep the same job for the whole year It really was an amazing experience, I absolutely LOVED Australia, would love to relocate there some day!

not a biologist but somewhat similar, I'm a medical physicist and I'm hoping to research healthcare disparities in the form of radiotherapy treatments in Croatia as compared to a medium sized community clinic in America.

@bastana thanks dear! and to you as well!

Another option is to defer the grad school for a year...that's what I'm planning to do, I have 2 programs I'm deciding between and both will let me defer the year if by some divine act of god I'm awarded a fellowship...that way I can have my cake and eat it too mmm...cake...

my advisor is trying to get me to apply for one of those...if I don't get a Fulbright I'll probably apply for one next year

Freaking out...any other Croatia applicants out there? I was ok at waiting until about 3 weeks ago...now it's just unbearable! ah!
