JERUSALEM!!!!

Hi everyone! You may have already guessed from my title here, but I have been officially accepted to the Jerusalem Center!!!! I'm really excited, though I'm still not sure where the money is going to come from. I am still accepting freewill donations of every kind. Thanks to those who have contributed, no matter how small the amount, and thanks to those who have expressed desire to help even if they don't have the means to do so.
Anyway, I am working on a student loan, so I don't want anyone to fill bad if they can't help. I think I will be alright. My scholarship covers the cost of tuition, so with that help and the donations I have received, I only have 76.5% of the money left to pay.
That probably sounds like a lot, but it is way better than having 100% to pay, and I have until the end of November to make the final payment.
Anyway, I'm really excited! Here are some pictures of Jerusalem so you can see what I'm getting in to:

Can I make a donation of myself? I would fit very well into your suitcase - i've tried it before and if you give me enough time, I can maybe shed a few pounds so that I won't be too heavy and then I will even let you use my new camera - it will be so great, what do you think?

Well, that sounds like a very fun idea, but unfortunately we only get one suitcase going over, and if it was filled with you, we would both have to walk around naked and we might get deported. Oh well.
