NOHA!
A few months ago, some of you may remember, I was talking about this program, Master of Humanitarian Action, NOHA, which I wanted to get into. Well, I gave it a shot, as you may know again, and in between convinced myself that there is no way I'll be accepted. So I applied for a UNESCO internship, which I got into, amazingly enough.
And today, I receive this envelope from University of Groningen. It was quite sure it was a rejection letter, given it's thin appearance, and was very surprised to discover that, in fact, it was an acceptance letter! So it's off to the Netherlands for me in September! How odd...
I hope I'll still be accepted for this UNESCO internship later on, because now it's not really possible this year. I'd like to do the internship first - the projects that I'm supposed to be involved in are so interesting! But on the other hand, the sooner I graduate, the better. That really should be my priority. I'd like to be part of the batch of 2008 graduates, out to do the world some good!
This adds a whole new dimension into the idea of wanting to 'make it work' with me and Sid. But I guess we've got to do what we've got to do, and if we try hard enough, we'll come out stronger in the end. Perhaps it's time now to try to forget about all the problems and just concentrate on spending all our time together as happily as we possibly can? It's a scary thought to know that three months from now, I won't see him until... well, December? And that's if he can make it to The Netherlands. Perhaps time will fly by quickly... I certainly hope it will. I'd really like to make this work.
It's also strange how this guy I know - Erno - (remember him from Egypt?), is also going to be doing the same program as me, but in Sweden, in Uppsala. I'm trying to talk him into coming to Groningen for one semester! Well, if I got in, he definitely will have, since he's way more qualified than me!
