Today I wanted to take the tram to town. Not the smartest idea given the cold outside. But...I wanted to and kept to it even after half an hour of delay when my brother offered to give me a ride. Yes, I am stubborn!
While waiting I recalled a Saturday afternoon in March 2000; it was the day after I got the first acceptance for a university abroad, in Missouri. That was the day when I realized that it might actually happen, I might actually go to study abroad. Little I knew that it was going to take 3 more months to have a final answer and decision about where I was going in the end. Those 3 months I spent every day waiting for letters, e-mails, anything to make it clearer somehow what the future will be for me. It felt like the longest wait but waiting was all I could do.
The tram eventually came.
