Our Summer comes to an end

This year summer went by way too fast.  After a grueling year of classes, this summer couldn't have been more welcome.  Alot of changes happened at Borders, so I was able to work a lot more than I was expecting (which was DElightful!) and Chad was able to continue his supplement education at GNC.  We managed to escape town here and there, making a few excursions to Bend and Medford.  To say good-bye to summer in an appropriate fashion, however, we finally made the trip to CA (TOGETHER) so that after 3 years and 9 months, my birthmother and sisters could finally meet Chad!  The weather was beautiful, the food was delectable, the company was delightful, and I had a gorgeous man to enjoy all of it with!!  But, the trip was all - too- short for my tastes, and now we are back in Klamath Falls, and trying to keep the back-to-school panic at bay.  Bright and early Monday morning we will awake and join the masses flooding campus with backpacks already heavy with $500 books.
Among our studies of trauma, surgery, pathology, and positioning of the skull, our frantic rush to lodge our Visa application officially kicks in to overdrive.  Our externship is riding on getting in in before the end of the month, in order to ensure our contract is signed while still leaving enough time for the program director to plan the site visit out there. We are staring at our checklist, and picking and choosing our next little box to tackle.  Photographs, passports, military discharge documents, diplomas, evidence of health insurance, and proof of $5,000 AUS in funds.  This last one is the only one that has us worried. We are not sure how to make this happen in some 33 days.
These next couple of weeks will obviously be full of adventure, trying to navigate our way through funding options, lots of paperwork, meetings, and emails... oh yea, and lots of homework to study!!
