So what is everyone's plan, after they receive their visas? I know some people are waiting before they leave for various reasons, and others (like Natasha and I) are planning to leave right away.

Cheers!

I left 10 days after receiving it.

I was exactly the same. I still take the occasional peek.

i will leave 10 days after my interview (tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

as i already had a J1 3 years ago, i knew how the visa would look like, but what blew me off was Erics name on it. i was feeling VERY dependent and akward at first.

We wait so long for the visas, it's perfectly natural to want to ogle them!

Boy, Debz and Aly go out of town and it gets dead around here! We all miss you guys!

My thoughts exactly.

Kirk: It is Christmas time, from all the available evidence: Fred has a cold, Peter has the coat, and most tellingly on the wall in the background of several of the shots is a Santa Claus.

Doh! Guess I need to watch it again this weekend. I'm not worthy!

For me, it was the perfect ending and a wonderful bookend to the beginning of the movie, where Farm Boy only said "As you wish" to his true love, Buttercup.

That wrapped the movie up really nicely for me too. I haven't seen the special edition. Hmmm...maybe I'll pick it up this weekend. I think it's probably my favorite movie ever. Or at least a tie with Casablanca.

It's funny you should ask this. Nadya and I were just talking about it the other day. She is still absolutely convinced her interview will be in April, despite the fact that April interviews are being filled already and I still don't have NOA2. (Me: "I don't think the interview will be in April. I think maybe June." Nadya: "Not Keerk. Interview in April, okay?")

She was asking me all about the weather in Monterey for April so she can plan what to wear accordingly. I'm sort of hoping for the longshot of being able to reschedule my interview for as close to April as possible (right now I'm thinking it's gonna be more like June). She's really got this April thing stuck in her head, and you know what going up against that is like.

I must say it's fairly unimpressive looking. Still nice to actually have it in my paws now.

So much stuff to sort out now. Going to try blitz some stuff at the weekend. 4 piles....

1. Sell

2. bin/charity shop

3. leave with parents for later collection/shipping

4. squash into luggage

For Kirk:

Trying to change a Russian woman's mind about something she is absolutely convinced of...... hmmmmmmmmm I have no idea what you're talking about!

For All:

It's good to see the interviews starting to roll, and everyone getting to be together with their loved ones finally. Hip-hip....

horray!!!

I knew I could count on you, Debz!

Oh, how I envy you. You'll soon be in Nebraska, land of the corn, cows, and snow. Wait, I'm already in Nebraska. Never mind!

[weedebz 0]

I can't wait to be there. I hope the next 5 weeks go fast!!

As a Nebraskan (non-native, though - I moved here when I was 24), I'll be very interested in hearing of your impressions of the state, after you arrive and settle in.
