Financial update

I have just tallied all the saving for my trip and it came to, $5,991.34!! I knew that that figure was close to what I needed for my 1st payment of tuition but was incredibaly surprised to find that it was EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED! well... minus 34 cents. but still! The first payment due September 4th is, $5,991. very cool, thank you all, and thank you God.

the 2nd payment is due December 1st, and is $3,162.19. (these figures are subject to slight change due to currency diffrence and inflation)
