WOW is all i can say to describe this week.
It's been one heck of an absolutely divine week!! And i'm really grateful! Thank you Jesus!!
Okay, so let me explain the cause for my exhilaration!!
Basically, NUS is involved in this network of universities called U21. It's a research conference held yearly, to promote undergraduate researchers coming together to present their findings and projects from their respective universities.
This year, this conference is held in Scotland, @ the University of Glasgow! Well, when i first heard of it, i was interested in it, so i just anyhow try my luck and applied for it.
Lo and Behold! On Monday (the one that passed), they called me to say i was shortlisted for the interview. SHOCKED is the word, cos my application is quite blank-- no CCAs , no awards, nothing la basically! haha!
And i actually got shortlisted. So, it's pretty amazing already.
Thursday came the interview, i was kinda nervous, but just kept praying the whole time. it was short i think i smoked through alot of the answers. haha!
They asked me: "what's one thing you would say to your fellow colleagues at the conference about NUS?"
Me: Vibrant! haha! because NUS doesn't just want their students to focus on studying only, but also offer programmes like Student Exchange programmes. (haha like trying to 'po' them!)
They: "oh then how come you didnt go for the exchange programmes?"
Me: Oh!! haha because it's expensive! Cost is an issue. -.-
OMG.i think i sound kinda bimbotic..seriously..:O
HAHA..anyway! today they emailed me saying I AM IN!! HAHAHA!! WAHH it's such a pleasant surprise to hear that, and i was over the moon!! super duper duper happy!
Cos they best part is, they will sponsor me 2.4K to cover costs! OH OH OH!
but it's ex there la! so i think will still need to pay maybe 1k?
but 1k to go scotland for 7 days? Where are you going to find a deal like that? hahaha!!
Moral of the story: PRAISE THE LORD!!!!! :) He really opened the doors, that no Man can shut!
I'm looking forward to going there, from Oct 15-21 2009! can't wait! that'll be my second trip abroad in 2009, after a seven year hiatus of not taking planes. hahaha!
God is truly more than enough!:)
Another thing that really made me glad this week, was the fact that I started reading up more scientific journals, and gained momentum to read them and managed to formulate the whole honour's project i'm doing clearly. WOOHOO!! finally i'm on the track to somewhere. :D
yipee yay!!!
HEHE..okok! so it's been a fabulous week, and i hope yours is too! But anyhow, let's give thanks IN all circumstances!
