I Am Staying Put
Yes, I have finally released Cambridge back into the realm of dreams and wild possibilities. The entire saga, from the beginning of application to the final withdrawal of offer took two years. Two years of uncertainty, of not truly knowing where to stand, has finally drawn to a satisfactory end. Am I disappointed? Strangely, not one bit. Here I get to learn Chinese, play floorball, continue in church ministry and remain in touch with home a great deal more. Not to mention that I burden my parents far less with the full scholarship option. Will also begin to teach tuition on the side and to that end I have begun to peel away from hall life. I am rather sad at seeing my friends less and less as the semester progresses; I think I see more of my cell groups and my floorball team than I do of hall-dwellers. I reckon I am PGPR-bound next year. Will be attempting a semester of exchange in Year Three followed by application into PGPR or RVR in order to focus on studies.

hi alissa... hadn't visited your blog for long ages, and followed the link from the xanga one to here =)
so, no cambridge at this time eh? i can sort of empathise with the sense of relief at the end of uncertainty... when i first entered UKM's psychology programme i was also waiting to see if i would go to russia to study medicine instead. like you, i didn't go in the end...
still, undergraduate years were precious ones of learning and growing... and i have no regrets for the paths in which God has led and guided me. i trust that it is the same for you. =)
