My Other Blog

Hi, some of you might not realise that I also have another blog, Bright Streaks, at http://sometimeslifehappens.blogspot.com/

It's for my creative writing pieces. Since I can normally handle one blog at a time (though I seem to have about four), that is where you will find me most active for now.

Cheerios,
Alissa.

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.
