So I got into the Masters of Letters, Hebrew Biblical and Jewish studies. Yay. Lucky my friend Matt is able to come and drink some champagne with me. (I look back at my first post about stumbling across the Masters of Letters. I wrote that it probably wouldn’t come to anything but wow, I got in). I am so so excited. It was that kind of excitement where I had to re read the letter of offer about 5 times just to make sure that what I was reading was true. I know this is a slight veer off from the path I was going down toward being a teacher but I will rejoin that path at some stage.
For now I am going to be studying what I am so very passionate about. There are not many people in the world who get to be that blessed. So I am taking it with loads of gratitude in my heart. We are so very lucky here in Australia. $1879 to study for a 1.5 years. That is so cheap. It is 3/4 of my savings but I don’t mind. Thanks Mum for being so supportive and encouraging of me even though I might be 30 by the time I leave university. You have never told me I should just focus on getting a proper job and now I can study what I love. Thanks to you others who told me to follow my heart. Even Dad who did tell me to focus on the job thing was excited for me today. I know this is a rather specialised kind of field but you know I just might have the talents and the drive to make something of it. God I really feel my prayers have been answered so thank you.
I just realised I sound like those famous people who get up and accept their awards at ceremonies that famous people go to. ”I’d like to thank my mum and my dad and my manager and God, I’d like to thank God.” Oopps I did not mean to sound like that but I guess I really feel like I have won something here. It is a good feeling.
