what next?

I have to make a decision soon about something to do this fall. I tooks like it will either be:

I. Cooking School

2. A month either volunteer or TOEFL class, 2 weeks travelling and then back to the States for Thanksgiving or therabouts and then do a month dhatun. As for volunteering, we are looking at a minimum of $2,000 for the pgogram and at least $1,000 for the flight, mabye a little less for the TOEFL class, and then $2,000-$2,500 for the dhatun
