Sounds like everything's going nice and smoothly. Hope things work out for you. Do you think you will apply to anywhere specific, or are you applying to all the nearby (and/or distant) ones?
I's feeling a bit of crosses, man. I's sister-in-law is being a feisty bloodclat by giving the wife and I lies about when she's coming up, instead of giving a straight answer about when. She tells the kids she's coming up and then doesn't. Cause me screw face, sight?
As to books, I think Gītā, Mystic, and maybe the Quran.. maybe. May not be a good idea, though, y'know?
