Empress : Kaiserin

When I wake up tomorrow it might all be just a dream

I have something to announce...

...for that matter, I'm still trembling in shock.


My write-in letter for the German scholarship has been approved.

...that meaning, I'm granted a one-month scholarship to study German in Germany.


One month may not seem long, but the fact is - only two scholarships are given out by the school in a year.

And I am the one out of two.

It's really hard to sleep now. Try living in disbelief. Try breathing in disbelief. Sigh... And I'm the only one who knows that right now, because I read the Head of Department's email at 1.30 am and everyone is already asleep... The joy and disbelief are too overwhelming for me to keep the news to myself. Hence this post.
I was reading the email in disbelief. Though I could understand what was being written, I had to double check the contents with a German dictionary to make sure I wasn't mistaken. I mean, perhaps I had learnt the opposite meaning of the words instead, right?

No, I'm not breaking into my hysterical mode now. Coz it's too good to be true. Just imagine - one month, alone in Germany? Accomodation is provided, so I assume I'll have my own room to dwell in... Not room-sharing, that is. And... there are so many places I wanted to visit! And firstly I have to overcome the language barrier there too! Just imagine that. One month alone in a foreign land that speaks a foreign language. Wow. I have dreamt about that before, but dreaming and a few months to reality are two very different things. And I already have issues coping with reality.

Now I just have to reply the Head of Department's mail and state which month I would like to start on my "new experience", and where (which state) I would like to study in.

Any suggestions? I would love to study in Munich though - that's one strong feeling of mine. Any tips of what to be aware of when in Germany (or overseas in particular) are also welcomed! I need all the help I can get - it's going to be my first time living alone far away from home. Will be asking friends for advices if they don't read this blog.

In any case, I'm going to repeat myself again. This is going to be a difficult night to achieve any form of sleeping. I simply cannot believe it.
