Yeah. Plus, I imagine there's a bit of-- I mean, it's hard to really plan for the future. Not knowing for sure how long you're gonna be here.

Yeah... I'm hoping permanently, for myself. I've been getting as much feedback from my teachers and bosses, and even some sorta-friends I have, so that I'll be able to figure out what I need to do to meet my goals. I figure that I should act both as though I'll be staying here permanently and that I might be ported out any day.
I don't want to be left flailing around with nothing to do when I'm an adult.
Somebody, I can't remember who, made the point that living here anticipating being Ported out isn't much different from living life somewhere else. You never know when you might die, or how many days you've got left.
So might as well make the most of them.
