The certificate in hand

Friday we got our actual final Certificate. Any moment now we are expecting a call… though I believe a month will pass before anything happens.

It is like waiting for your water to break any moment but your due date is a very wide range of time.

We came here to do this, and we did it. Looking back it was not that bad, though I still remember the chase for papers and stamps and signature. Then the hours of classes, interviews and other appointments. And this will fade in history so fast, when the next chapters will begin.

We are not unidimensional beings, and we can’t thrive in a vacuum. I am grateful for steady friendships that not only survive but become stronger during hardship.
