March Madness

About a month ago, both of us were more or less standing in grey area. But even as recently as the last week, possible paths are becoming clear to us. We have both been accepted to Indiana University, and while we are still waiting on our other schools, it is comforting to know that we have somewhere to go.

At the end of May, we return to the States. Sooner than the original timeline anticipated, but necessarily. Security Husband will have a thesis to defend. We have a house to find.

So now, we are busy. Work is stressful, school is stressful. Full course load plus thesis. Full schedule plus miscommunication with superiors. I think we will both be glad when things are over. Our time here is drawing to a close, and though we will miss people we have met and the communities we have become part of, our original goals in being here are no longer being met, and we must go.

But things are slowly solidifying. We are creating timelines, picking up boxes, looking into plane tickets and a moving company, trying to find who will take what, how we will get rid of certain things.

And of course, the key date in everything is September 10th, now. The whole reason we have to fly back three months early. Mark your calendar, Kinuyo. ;p
