Packing time! And lots of travel details...

June 10, 2014
Departure is just 48 days away!
Our permits are all set, our tickets are booked and printed out and our mind is already in Vancouver!
Can't wait...

There are still lots to take care of, though.
Pending items at home or travel details to be finalized. All in due time however...

I've sold the car, my loving husband has sold his and life moves on ...by bus!! 
:P

And, you know, every time we say we're leaving, people here are nodding in sympathy. Nobody wants to stay behind, let alone in this difficult time for our country. But we chose to move on with our careers and common life. To gain new knowledge, acquire new experiences, meet people from all around the world, expand our horizons...

I feel so blessed and grateful!

Christmas 2013 "GRE resolution"

December 15, 2013
Here I am, having to sit the GRE test for a second time in two months, in order to raise my scores. They were pretty OK the first time, but not high enough for grad school, especially for a PhD in North America.

So, I'm resitting the exam in January and I have just about one month to prepare.

The difficulty is called "time". This tiny window of a couple of seconds per question, this is what I have to be better prepared for.
You see, I love math, I'm good at it and solve all questions, but I usu...
