Good question, Aunt Sheryl :)

So apparently I'm not the only one concerned about my life plan (which is good to know)...my Aunt Sheryl asked the oh-so-pertinent question: When will I know if Taylor got the scholarship - which can be roughly translated...when will you finally have a plan?!

Well, the Fulbright selection committee evidently doesn't want to be held to a firm deadline, so they have told him that he will hear from them regarding their decision on his application sometime between Mid-March and Mid-June. Fair enough. So, essentially, my life is on hold pending the decision of some Indonesians and a few American businessmen.

Awesome. Basically the options are many, with a few laid out here:

• Taylor GETS the Fulbright:
• I stay in New York, doing pretty much what I'm doing now.
• I stay in New York until I run the New York City Marathon in November and then move to Atlanta and work for Deloitte and wait patiently for Taylor to come back.
• I stay in New York until I run the New York City Marathon in November and hten move to Ann Arbor to live with my sister while she attends beauty school and work for Google and wait patient
• Taylor doesn't get the Fulbright:
• We stay in New York
• We move to some other city (TBD)

The options if Taylor doesn't get the Fulbright are primarily determined by where Taylor gets a job. With my background and experience at Goldman Sachs, I shouldn't have too much trouble getting a job wherever I need to, so for the time being, I'm going to just do whatever Taylor does.

And there you have it. I will most certainly keep you posted on what happens. For now, it's sort of just waiting patiently and enjoying the spring in New York until we get some news :)

Thanks for reading!
