WARNING MAJOR UPDATE: AUSSIE AUSSIE OI OI
Sep. 2nd, 2009 08:55 pmI feel all and all that a HUMONGOUS update has been in order too much to update about frankly. And the reason I haven't updated sooner was because I've been both too busy to do so and, more importnatly, that I have too much to talk about that I didn't want to spam your FL because it is in fact all important stuff. Plus my keyboard hasn't been working so even when I've been on AIM I haven't talked to people really because it's hard because my g, h, backspace, and apostrophe's don't work; in addition sometimes my o,u,e,r, and numbers don't work either as well as my arrows. So yah...no point in messaging or even RPing, considering I'm taking a non-official break from that too.
But yes for the matter at hand.
Last week i found out.......
I GOT MOTHER EFFING INTO GRAD SCHOOL IN MOTHER EFFIN SYDNEY, GUYS. THAT MEANS THAT I'M GOING TO AUSTRALIA THIS TIME NEXT FEBRUARY/MARCH WOOOOOO HOoOOOOOOooO. For those that don't know, but most of you do, it is been a lifetime dream of mine to go to Australia. Ever since the olympics back in 2000 I was FASCINATED with the country and the people and since then it's been an obsession that has grown on with time the more I learn about it. When I found out about study abroad in high school I KNEW that's where I wanted to go and was so crushed when I found out that I didn't have the time nor the proper GPA to do such, and I thought I would NEVER get to go.
Then low and behold, an oppurtunity arose. In my junior year and into my senior year I really began to get interested in International Relations and that would eventually become apart of my concentration in school rather than just history. What at first was a llove of anime developed into a love of Japanese culture and lifestyle and somehow my interest in history of US foreign policy and relations as well as my interest in Japan somehow converged in my Senior year and I loved studying governments and policies particularly those in asia. And while I did almost flunk out of the course, that SE Asia Economics and Politics course was one of the most intriguing courses I've ever taken and I really wish to learn more about the region in grad school. SO YAH, BASICALLY I WAS LIKE OH MAN PERFECT WINDOW FOR ME. Cuz IR majors, it's almost a prereq for anybody and everybody that they have to spen sometime abroad, so I figured why not grad school and thus I've been applying and what not.
Then last week I'm at work and it's the first thing in the morning and I got an email from i.e. University of New South Wales and it stated that they had made a decision on my application. I knew I had good enough GPA and good enough to get in but still didn't change the fact I was nervous as fuck. I downloaded the attach doc and sure enough first thing I saw was LETTER OF OFFER right near my name and it proceed to say the whole shpeel. I seriously must have read like letter of offer like 5 times before I continued.
And I didn't squeal or curse or anything when I read it.
I just stared......and stared......
And before I knew it? I was crying, not heavily, but crying to the point where I was at the point where it might potentially be noticeable because I was sniffling.
I mean FUCK I never cry, only when I'm upset. I don't think I cried when I got into BU or...when I did...maybe I did when I got into Fenwick, but I don't know man. It took a LOT to do that to me.
Because fuck how else are you suppose to react when you finally realize that your lifelong goal, something that you've always wanted but could never have is coming true. That your just too happy, too beside yourself that it's ACTUALLY happening that your beyond pure ecstasy. After telling my manager Glenn that I stepped out for a few minutes, I called my mom and she was worried cuz I sounded genuinely upset, like I had just been crying, and I was ilke PFFFFFFFF NO MOM GET OUT I GOT INTO SCHOOL I'M FINE LOL. And I called a bunch of other people and texted them and just yah...crazy day, and everyone at work congratulated me and it was just....awesome.
Hell, wow, just talking about all that, about what it felt like is making me teary eyed. I just...I can't believe it fuck man. I've wanted this for so long it REALLY doesn't seem like it's real. That tomorrow I'm going to wake up and realize that HAHA IT'S ALL A DREAM, KEEP DREAMING YOU! But no...it's not. I'm going.
It actually kinda made me laughed but I prayed on the toilet after I told everybody and I cried some more. Just...basking in how lucky I am, how God made it so perfect for me and just made everything okay for me in the end that I can't HELP but be grateful for him for it.
It's just....wow, I still can't believe it. But yeah, it's really happening, and because of it a lot of things are gonna happen and I'm making a lot of changes in me and towards others, SO WATCH OUT LOL.
Oh...yah...I have a new job too, I've been meaning to talk about that, but considering that this was pretty major I figured I'd leave one thing at a time for now.
But yah, just sayin'? Thank you, all of you, for being awesome, for supporting me, and just being you and making me realizing that my life is truly 100% blessed.
But yes for the matter at hand.
