Lost in the Shuffle

We were sitting on the couch yesterday, catching up on the one million things we haven't talked about in the last two months.

"Hey, whatever happened to the Fulbright?" I asked. "Did you not get it? I thought you were such a strong candidate, because you'd already worked in Colombia."

"Oh, I got it," he says. "Didn't I tell you?"

I started laughing. "I thought I told you!" he said, and he started laughing, too.

He couldn't accept it, because the offer from Oxford only allows deferral for family emergencies, but it was still a nice acknowledgement of all the work he's done over the last four years.
