<p>kfc4u, good advice & great post :) Thanks for the kind words about my post, it makes me feel good to know it's helping. I'm going to post a version with a few edits and additions later this month; I hope you don't mind if I crib your suggestion for studying abroad, it's a excellent idea.</p>
<p>And have fun studying abroad! I'm looking forward to your trip report when you return.</p>
