Postgrad

I DID IT! I got into Queen's University, Belfast and I leave next month!

I have been waiting for this for months! It's been a long process, but totally worth it..

While I was waiting to hear back from Queen's about my unconditional status, I applied for the International Postgraduate Taught Scholars program, which would have covered my entire tuition. Now, while I wasn't successful in the Scholars application, they were impressed by my application and awarded me the International Postgraduate Taught Scholarship! Everything helps in cases like this! A stipulation of the scholarship is that I may be required to undertake ambassadorial duties from time to time while enrolled, but it'll be worth it! And kinda sweet to be an ambassador for my new university!

I even contacted the athletics club to see if I can join for the shot put event!

I cannot believe I'm finally gonna be studying animal behavior and welfare. It's gonna be fabulous. I started my visa application and have my biometrics appointment later this week. After that, I just wait to hear back about the visa. My flight to Ireland is in mid-September (I'll be visiting family for about a month prior) and it's all becoming so much more real than when I first began the process. I think I've even found an apartment near campus... More news on that later (send me mail, hehe). If you want my address, please send me a private message, as I will not be posting it publicly.

I would like to thank everyone who has supported and believed in me for so long now. And everyone who has told me to go after my dreams! I couldn't have done it without yall!

Also, I graduate next summer, so if you want to come visit plan a trip soon!
