I received a letter from the International Studies & Programs yesterday congratulating me because I was accepted to participate in the International Academic Program at Athens, Greece for Summer 2005 for 3 weeks. I will be attending seminars, lectures and joining field trips to various historical sites to study the culture of Athens.
When I first handed in the application form, I just did it out of the blue. Partly perhaps because I was eager to go to Greece and study about the Greeks. I never thought that my application would be approved since priority are given to students studying Classics and Greek culture. A few weeks past by and I didn't heard anything from the IAP office so I am pretty certain I am not qualified to be in the program. So, I decided to just go ahead with my original plan and purchased a ticket to Malaysia. What a bummer now, isn't it?
There's a teeny weeny bit of regret in my heart because going to Greece has been my dream. The way Professor Powell put in class, Greece is one amazing country everyone has to visit. Now that I've bought the tickets and my flight date clashes with the Summer Program, there's nothing much I can do about it. But mostly I feel glad and happy for just knowing that at least I am lucky enough to be accepted into the program. Perhaps next time, I'll try again. And one day, I'll go to Greece. Definitely. |
