Champagne and sighs of relief and thank-god-it's-over. A congratulatory phone call from her older brother. She has made it across the abyss of college uncertainty. Fate has decreed what side of the continent will shape her character over the next four years. The weather she will feel. The many friends and lovers soon to meet. The indelible stamp that will make her who she is to become as an adult.
Almost. The choreographers above thought it might be fun to test her just a bit further... Go to this fabulous school but get no tuition break. Or go to this almost as fabulous school that will give you an academic scholarship. Austrian hubby looks on incredulously at the spectacle. He has learned not to interfere. It would be a no-brainer for him given these two choices but after 20 years in America, he realizes there are cultural nuances and idiosyncrasies that simply render his Germanic logic moot.
