Relief

I was beginning to doubt. Checking the calendar again and watching my little window of possibility shrink.  Starting to imagine life without this dream fulfillment.

I'd go to homecoming next month and people would say, "Oh it's you. Aren't you supposed to be in Scotland?"
And I would say... What would I say? "It didn't work out."
And what would they say? "Aw gee. So sorry to hear that you wasted the past two years working dead end jobs for nothing."

Plan B: Choose a new career path sans grad school. Maybe a nice, settled office job.

I didn't want to think like that, but I felt that I needed to prepare myself a little just in case.

But today my visa application was accepted. And oh! the relief.
