Holy crap - the fulbright money came through - I just got a deposit of $19,000 in my account for plane tickets and pre-2005 expenses from fulbright. I don't know if that means that R got his funding, but I think so. My taxes are going to be really fun in April, I'm sure.

Now all I need is my visa. quickly. please.

Hrm I've been dealing with human subjects clearance stuff this morning, since I really need this stuff ASAP. I was just about to head into school when I got an email from the TA to 5 of the 7 people in class saying that yes the building is open despite construction and please come to class. Now I really don't want to go. I think I'll go at 12:30 for translation. I can't face being one of 3 in class.

okay tick one thing more thing off the UZ list: I got an email this morning that my IRB exemption request passed. I no longer have to worry about Human Subjects clearance.

So the list is:
Get IRB Clearance (check)
Get visa (waiting......)
Get money for plane tickets and insurance from Fulbright (check)
Get plane tickets (after the visa)
Get insurance (after the plane tickets)
Inform embassy and the people I'm staying with until I arrive in UZ when I'm coming in (after all the everything)

Waaah I still don't have a visa in the mail.

And R's cellphone seems to have been disconnected sometime last night. Its been like 48 hours since I've heard from him and I'm starting to worry. Not like I actually think something has happened (well something other than the cellphone being disconnected - it's his sister's that he's borrowing). I just keep thinking of all the things that *could* have happened to him. Not productive at all.

He's supposed to be home late tonight from his work road trip. If he isn't here by midnight I will start worrying for real.

I have done an hours work out everyday this week, I have gotten my IRB clearance, I have gotten my fulbright money, started my article, and translated all my things for translation class. I want a cookie. I want more than a cookie I want someone to take me out to dinner. I want sushi and bubble tea and then chocolate cake or baklava for dessert. I want to be cooed over and pampered. Not gonna happen, but I want it.

I got a call from R's coworker - he's on his way and his phone did actually die. I feel relieved even though I'd resolved to not start actually worrying until midnight.
