--I am still at school, I finish end of December. I fully intend to
return as a student on F1 visa, but for personal reasons I want to
take a break, see the country without being at school, and so skip the
spring semester 2005, coming back in time for Fall 2005. During that
free time I want to research other schools and other states to live
in, for my next F1, so that will take time.
