In which I briefly update and say little
I suppose it is time to keep you updated again? I am delightfully bad at keeping this thing up, I ought to engage a little more in public debate. This time, I don’t even have the excuse of school work, it’s been very medium-leveled of late.
The good news: I am returning to my parents’ house the 20th of May. I will stay there over the summer, while (hopefully – I don’t know it for 100% yet) working at an eldercare just across the street. Towards the end of August I will fly back to Washington, and Lucas will have spent the summer looking for an apartment in Seattle. It’s all very yay, especially as Lucas’ parents are informed about the upcoming mawwiage and there’s no reason to be sneaky about it (my parents? mum didn’t have to be told, she sort of just looked at me and knew.) Thus, my current worries include the visa application process (temporary visa with the intention of bringing an alien fiancé/e to the United States for marriage) and getting the job.
FYI, the filling out of forms has had Lucas start calling me “Miss Alien Martian from the Moon.”
Aside from that, I have to ethnology projects left this semester, a project report and a paper (the paper will be turned in via email and I’ll go back down here and present it on June 7th.) I must say it’s been a good semester academics-wise; I’ve been able to bring the gender aspect into basically all of my project, and will in the final paper also. I might not be outta here with a Master’s, but I’ll know more, a lot more, than I did when I came.
(oh, and I should probably warn you: as soon as I get going with this project, there will with all probability be an entry that bitches about people’s lack of knowledge in relation to the housewife ideal and “working women”. Heh.)
