Scholarship MONEY!!!

Last Friday we received our first and second Scholarship payments. Yay! I had been waiting for a whole month to get the first payment! We were supposed to get the first payment of 1600 Euros the first week that we were here. There was some problem and the University of Padova couldn't get us the money. The University of Minho, the coordinator for the whole program then took responsibility for getting us the payment. For some reason it takes a really long time for international transfers to take place so we were waiting for our money for a whole month. Since it took so long to get everything worked out they sent the second payment of 1200 Euros with the first. Finally I have some money to buy some things I have been waiting for a month to get!
