It cost me $84 frikkin' dollars to ship the financial forms to the Livnot offices in Jerusalem today (it had to be Purolator in order to get it there by the May 1st deadline). OUCH!! That was a lot of moolah. I thought I was going to have a stroke when the post office woman told me how much. $84!?! Ack! So far it has cost me about $200 just to apply and *think* about going on this 5 month trip... who knows if I'll even get the financial aid to go! Double Ack!

I think I know the real solution to this.... I just need to find me an Israeli boy to marry. Those willing and able may apply within.
