running out of time before I fly

[kareina]

Today I:

* Actually worked some on that paper which should have been done months ago (first time in days).
* Printed and signed all of the 43 pages (two copies each in colour, to be turned in, and one copy in black and white for my files) for my visa application (five official form, a cover letter, and a fair bit of supporting documents)
* Helped archinonlive

Good luck with it all! I gather you're only flying back to sort out your visa? Hence the one week to one year comment? Will you be staying in Sydney or elsewhere? It would be nice to actually meet up sometime :)

Yes, the reason for the trip is the visa. I land in Sydney on the evening of Friday the 1st, take the train to Canberra Saturday morning, submit visa application on Monday, then head to the Melbourne area to meet up with my mother (who normally lives in Seattle, but is visiting my step-sister just now), and then head to Tassie on the 10th to wait for the visa to be approved. While in Tassie I will meet up with my erstwhile adviser and see if we can get that paper I never finished on my PhD research completed.

It would be great to meet you if there is a chance to do so.

So we lost all bandwidth at home and I'm replying from work and just realised that you're landing tonight. As I have a hell packed weekend it seems we'll miss meeting each other. Again. Ah, one day I'll make it to northern Europe and there'll be no escaping me then!

Hope the visa application goes smoothly and your adviser is kind :)

Cheers,

You are my hard-working hero. You always inspire (and shame) me into action.
