And... We're Off!

Ready, Set…GO!!  That’s how it feels now that we have met with our Program Director.  Although we knew Australia had officially signed the contract, we were trying to reserve our excitement until we had confirmation that OIT had also signed the contract and made everything all hunky-dory and “legal” and stuff.  And so it happened yesterday that we heard the words we have been waiting 3 years for:  “It’s a done deal.  You’re going to Australia!”  Now the mayhem really begins. 

We are a mere weekend away from Finals – which means our weekend will be spent holed up in the living room with our books and nitelites as we stay up till odd hours trying to force feed every last bit of knowledge into our bloated little brains.  On top of this, we have been scrambling to dot the I’s and cross the T’s on our Visa applications.  Then, on top of THIS, we have been trying to guage airline prices, consider storage options, and wrap our little minds around financing for our foreign escapade.   With elating news, nerves and stress have inevitably followed.  And with finals butting their way into the mix… geesh.

So, while visions of Adelaide, K-space, fourier transformations, Six Sigma, Pathological Indicators, and fresh fish and chips on the beach of the South Sea compete for attention in our minds this weekend, do a little happy dance for us (like my sister did!) and maybe we’ll get around to Spring Break eventually!
