For the Few Holdouts . . .

. . . who have not yet paid their $300 deposits.

You should have received a pleading e-mail—in fact, possibly several pleading e-mails—begging you to pay your deposit by January 17. On that day, if you have not paid the deposit, you will be banished. Surely this is a fate you do not wish to experience?

If you have not paid your deposit because you have decided not to join the program after all, well, we will miss you. However, you owe it to those on the waiting list who are anxiously hoping to go to Italy to let Emily Dolezal (contact information on the right) know so that she can award a spot to someone else. Dithering only contributes to someone else's unhappiness.
