I think its a great idea, I have always wanted to go to the Everglades and see gaters up close and stuff like that, but there are some limitations.
1. Limited time window.
Out of all the applications they receive, they will only choose 20 people. And I half to decide in 10 days if I want to do this or not. But thats not the only limitation.
2. Money.
This crazy trip will cost me $449 for all the expenses: Transport, camping, instructional activities, food, and lodging in route. To add to the limitations, its a Winter course so I will half to pay Tuition and fees. And right now, I have no job and my mother and I are going through some Economic hardships. How the fuck are we going to get almost $500 without resorting to family help or Illegal means?! :P
3. Distance.
I'm fine with traveling, but along the way I might get homesick. I doubt that will happen because there are things that I will be doing that will take my mind off of that sort of thing. But with someone like me, you never know what will be happening next.
4. Being away from what is known as the "Modern World"
Now I love being outdoors, and have no problem getting dirty and such like that. But I also like my share of modern devices like my laptop and iPod. The iPod because I like my music. It helps me think and calm down. If the battery dies during that timespan of limited to no Electric power, while I can handle it, I wont be myself.
I'm split, I feel like I want to do this because its a once in a lifetime thing and it would be amazing. But I feel like I dont want to do it because of the four things listed above. Mostly number 2. I dont want to waste my family's limited money on something that isn't "vital for survival" in a way.
What should I do folks? (of course no one will reply to this, but It cant hurt to post this here)
