Still unsure as to whether the London trip will be happening or not. Sigh.... The other day, I got pretty upset when I called the office to see whether they had approved my application, since I knew they had already held the meeting that morning. And the person told me that they had only just received my application that afternoon.
I was really frustrated as I had been rushing to complete my application (and on top of that it was during finals) the previous week before the Friday deadline, and I had managed to pass it up to the faculty office by Wednesday, the fastest among all my coursemates to do that and I felt proud of myself for getting a place and doing everything so quickly. But somehow or the other the international office (at another building) only received it on Monday afternoon. And they have no idea when the next meeting will be so everything is just in limbo.
I felt even more frustrated as I could not set my practical plans for the holidays. I was due at the turf club for a week, a workshop which I really really wanted to go to, and a 3 week lab practical, which I would have to cancel some and change it all around if the London trip was approved.
And then my mind cleared and I saw the light, for I saw that it was my own fault for being greedy and wanting to go overseas again when I had already applied for the mobility fund the previous semester, and I had already planned out the coming holiday very nicely months before this.
But having sent in my application and contacted the places in London, I decided to just start the hols with the lab practical and wait for confirmation..... Which is still pending, and I have a bad feeling that it won't be approved in time for departure.
Kicking myself for passing up on the turf club, a place I always learn tons from, and also the workshop especially. Somebody once told me to make sure I have my priorities in order, and I didn't listen. Serves me right for not listening.
Why did I have to be so greedy?

Dear viv, I always believe everything happens for a reason. The reason why u didn't get to London this time, perhaps we should plan for a europe trip with the whole family next year!
Cheers!
Just like the other day my h/phone was picked from my bag, i was a bit upset but then i believe it's time to get another nicer h/phone perhaps!
