Using interim health insurance
Everyone here is locked in their own personal version of a walking transition. Some of us are completely done and heading out of town as soon as we can. Others left last week or the second they finished finals earlier in the week. Others of us still have work to do but we are already gone mentally because we have seen all of our friends flee with such great haste that they accidentally got our motivations caught on their suitcases and brand logo sweat pants as they ran out the door leaving us to drool and wonder why we are even trying at this point. If that image is not too far off from how you are feeling don't be so surprised, all of us are feeling it right about now.
For now though I have finished studying and I am not looking at another book or note I have taken this semester. I am finished. I think I am prepared enough for my last final tomorrow. What I have to start doing tonight is getting ready with that select crowd of us who will be going away next semester to do something interesting. I have yet to do anything like this but over spring break this year I will be helping out with Katrina relief efforts, yes they are still going on, in New Orleans. We will be building a few houses for people living in the FEMA trailers. In preparation I have to get some interim health insurance for the break and then I will need travel health insurance since the trip will be sort of dangerous. For both of these I will probably be spending a good bit of my savings at the moment, which isn't much obviously, and then I will have one other thing to take care of. I will need to drive myself there since it would be cheaper for me to drive there than to pay to take the bus. The only problem is is that I am not insured so I will need to find myself some affordable auto insurance. This shouldn't be too hard since I can put on my application that I will probably only drive this one time in the next five months. Good luck out there with whatever you are getting ready for.
