Ish. I still have another year of school after the summer and he doesn't, so mine is for a summer position, but hey, we're already talking about the kinds of vacations we might be able to take if these work out for the both of us.

Are you looking at grad school or a job after working?
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Now now, just because I am obsolete does not mean I am hateful.

Grad school, currently. I'm toying around with the idea of whether or not to do a gap year at the moment though, as it would be nice if Fiance could stay at whatever he gets for an additional year before we move out to wherever I get in, and it might be nice to have a break and try out being a Real AdultTM for a bit before plunging myself into a life of Academe.

That's fair.

Regardless, best of luck to you, no matter what you choose.

It's harder to go back, once you get out, otoh advanced degrees pay better in the long run, otoh sometimes you can get the company to pay for some of that degree, otoh now that you have a fiance he does get some say in the issue.

And we got a master and an apprentice out of that deal. How much more damage is there?

Give it thirty years for a full damage report, litters tend to run in the family.

Two for the price of one, at least in the case of your significant other. Your personal experiences may have been a bit different.

Congratulations. That should be a weight off your mind.

When do you get the financial aide package.

The months before may have seen a few outbursts, but that's merely speculation on my part.

Hopefully soon. I think I was told - ages ago - within a week or two of acceptance but part of me wants to just call financial aid tomorrow and see if they'd tell me if I did.

Exactly. I'm pretty torn over what the best course would be. Additionally, if I were here another year I could remain involved in local politics for the midterm election.

Aye, it was an emergency procedure so they didn't have time for a epidural to kick in so just knocked me out.

Pity, I was looking forward to throttling the Italian.
