yeah, that's right! which is... NOT a lot of time! @-@ I suspect I'll get a less career-y job than teaching and just roll with it for a few years while I'm preparing for my university application, but I'm really tempted by the Helsinki thing... gah! it's only in the back of my mind anyway. right now I'm really focused on wrapping up here!
and awww, thanks :) he was kind of a moron, I didn't exactly feel victimized, but it just makes me sad when interactions go badly! I believe in live and let live, and he's entitled to think whatever he wants - it's just a shame he didn't feel the same way, I guess. we have a few russian friends that probably think all kinds of things but it doesn't get in the way of our friendship and we've been able to learn all kinds of things about each other's cultures that have been really valuable!
the uzbekistani dude wants to go to school in Missouri though. he'd better learn to be more polite before interacting with Midwesterners... LOL
Oh my gosh, that must be so emotional about your green card. That's how I'll feel when I have to give my alien card up. I might just tell them at the airport that I'm coming back so that I can keep it. Although I'm sure they can see that I withdrew my pension, so it probably won't work. Do you think you'll do something to commemorate it?
haha well if I ever want to come back it's very important that I actually do this process legally, and I like to keep my options open. I doubt I'll commemmorate it because I have a husband that I'm bringing with me who serves as a pretty good reminder ;) but like, I'm not so much emotional about it as just... contemplative. you know, I've done this thing for nearly five years, and now I'm concluding it and moving on to something else. and I like what I'm moving on to, so I'm not really sad about anything, just looking back with some perspective and thinking about all the stuff I've done :)
