Hello again ,
What is LUCK ?
Yesterday was a day full of surprises. I certainly was stunned and puzzled.
yesterday I was this close to pack my humble luggage and go the land of Uncle Sam. I paid the visa fees and prepared myself for my appointment with the American consulate.
I even spoke to Mum and tried to convince her that It is for the best that I am leaving the country for the fact that a PhD scholarship to the states was something worthy to fight for. She was sad ..very sad and I was selfish or was she the one who is selfish ? I actually didn't care that much..
an hour later , I fell down the stairs at Starbucks and I was just this close to break my legs into pieces!!
an hour later, I got a phone call to tell me that I am asked to complete my papers for a lecturing position at the University of king Abdulaziz in Jeddah .
what I feel is Indescribable !! I cancelled my visa appointment and I headed to the uni to submit additional papers and documents.
I don't know if giving up my scholarship was something wise to do but I only hope so.
I can be sent out to the states for my PhD via my new job if things went smoothly but it takes a year or so.
A year seems like a lifetime here in Jeddah but I want to be positive and happy and I will be enjoying being a lecturer at the Uni - the job that I planned years to get it-
Shakespeare once said " to be or not to be , this is the question " and I think I finally got the answer for that question.
life is unexpected. Really this time.
