So, In This Hour...

Why aren't you making this easier for me? I wish you would. You're suppose to. It's what you do best, isn't it? Just get fucking settled there and come back to me. I need you.

28 days later and I still feel as if the air has been knocked out of me.

Kuwait Culture has not made my applying to university any easier. Out of the 17 universities I'm permitted to apply to, 7 are only applicable for a Masters degree. The rest are either shit, or require me to enter in fall '09. Which I do not want. Leaving 3, which are:

Earlham College: Indiana
Guilford College: North Carolina
University of Missouri- Columbia: Missouri

I'm practically in love with Earlham College. It's a national, selective Quaker liberal arts college with a small student body. Its Peace & Global studies program is one of the best in the nation. And about 70% of its students study abroad (they have amazing study abroad opportunities.) I've read nothing but good reviews about the College, its primary con being that the College itself is in the middle of nowhere (Richmond, Indiana). Which honestly, I'm fine with as I believe the people make the place and if luck permits, I'll find the right crowd. Earlhams campus is breathtaking. Words enough can't describe how beautiful it is. Honestly.

Best of all, International students cannot apply for Spring term. After sending an email to them explaining my situation, I was permitted to apply for Spring '09! Which I'm in the process of doing!

As for Guilford and Mizzou. They're hopefully safety/backup schools I wont have to ever attend. Especially after coming across Earlham.

I apologize

Sorry about the unexpected hiatus. I've just moved into a new house and it's been quite hectic. Thanks to the highly reliable Global Direct, the internet has just been administered to us rather than the promised 28th of July. Apart from that, plenty has happened but I prefer not to get into that just yet.
