Today was a quirky day for me. I woke up and got ready for class earlier than usual to get work done on my lab report. I skipped my 'Pie Face' coffee for it's lovely worth to make sure I had plenty of time to work on my report. Standing at the bus stop, I was waiting as the other commuters for the next bus to arrive. Surely enough it came, surprisingly punctual, oddly empty. I sat and watched as the bus crossed the bridge and passed the skyscrapers in the city centre until I got a surprising call on my phone; Blocked call.
I've never questioned the anonymity of blocked calls so I answered as per. Pleasantly enough it was Mandy, the exchange coordinator who helped me earlier put my application through. She'd called to thank me for my help in the exchange fair last week to which I'd thought surely mustn't warrant a phone call. It didn't. Mandy was calling me to let me know I had been accepted by Ljubljana despite the limited numbers available. Even further to let me know that the extent I went to in contacting the head of program in Slovenia and other staff helped along my application (The Australian secretariat was rather doubtful initially about my chances at Slovenia).
Well this definitely did make me smile but interestingly it did not appear to have kicked in for me yet. I still feel as though I am waiting for an acceptance even now that I have it.
I can't write much else on this as I am feeling tired and right now there is not much else to say on how I feel or what else has happened. I need to get the application forms filled in and submitted by the end of the week to get the 'rubber stamp' approval and begin sorting my visa, accommodation and plane tickets. I really can't think of much else to say, so I'll cut it short here.
Tschüss!
