It has been 3 weeks since I last posted anything. Trust me, I know, the wait has been excruciatingly long. I was supposed to know if I had received a scholarship by the end of April. It is now May 11, 2010. But, as we all know. Things don’t always go as planned.
As I told you, I joined a group on Facebook, YFU Japan ‘2010 Summer Exchange Program. Everyone in this group has already got their acceptance (or rejection :/ ) letters. I mean everyone! Except for whom? Oh, right. Me.
So, I did what any other teenager would do. I called and emailed. But YFU couldn’t tell me if I had received anything yet. Apparently, what they don’t know they can’t tell you. They did tell me that there was a hold up on the sponsors end and that was all they knew.
So, I waited.
This morning, in Journalism class I sat at the computer, just like I have for the past couple months, checking my email and hoping something from YFU would be waiting. Exactly 126 days after I applied for the program, I got the email.
I was literally jumping up and down in my seat from excitement. I am so glad we had a sub that period. I had to call my mom; I mean come on, wouldn’t you?
For now, I think all that complaining, waiting, and stress was totally worth it. All that waiting is totally cancelled out by the fact that I got the scholarship. It’s a once in a lifetime experience. That I get to experience!!
I’m full of anticipation for this summer to come.
WOOHOO!!!!
