My grants came through! My method of asking more than I expect and then robbing Peter to pay Paul seems like it will work. At this point, project Shanghai is a-go. I have enough for the whole language program and (I think) enough to cover the rest of my time spent there. I may have to cut corners here and there, but I think it will work! How exciting! This means that I don't have any money to go toward the internship at Jacob's Well, but... that was really gravy anyway, so I will figure out the logistics and make it work. I'm pretty stinking excited. I can't wait for my triumphal return to the Middle Kingdom in four and a half months.
Sadly, this means I will be out of pocket for wedding season. I don't like weddings in particular, but I do like being there for my friends. I'm in my twenties. It's like a virus the way everyone is getting hitched.
Rewind: I am in Conway. I got here last night after having driven to Little Rock, stopped in Sherwood, made dinner and ate with the Temples, and then came up and hung out with Kristen. Today I hung out with E&E for a chunk of the afternoon, and I have a coffee date with Kristen tonight. Tomorrow I'll be headed back to Texarkana... again.
