like the title said, how unlucky can i be?? as some of you know, that i was suppose to be going to Australia for my college. alas, it seems that would not come to pass.
first of all, the enrollment deadline of my tuition of my school will be due tommorow and my student visa coming from the australian embassy is nowhere in sight. this is the second time that certain events prevented me from studying abroad.
Story mode: bear with me
okay, here is the thing. it has nearly been 1-2 years that this idea that i study abroad in australia was given to me by my parents. originally, i didnt mind whether or not i go to australia or stay here (im already accepted here in my college in the philippines and was doing my first year then and i am now in my third year this year). after doing the english test for the IDP for the australia embassy, and submitted my application plus transcript of records and also attended some open forum and seminars regarding the schools that i will be applying for. finally, just last year, i recieved word that i was accepted in UTS and University of Sydney in New south Wales. now all i need is my student Visa and voila i would be in australia studying for my college degree. i have my own reasons why i wanted to study in australia but i would be going off-topic then. anyway, so last year, i finalized everything and submitted to my counselor all the requirement last november (nearing december) for my visa when my first disaster struck. the australian embassy somehow learned that there was a terrorist threat (which turned out to be false) and was forced to close the embassy therfor hampered my process of my visa before the process was even started. to make matters worse, one of the requirements (which has to do with the update of my parents banking account) expired and i had to wait another 3 months. now, this year (last april) after everything was finalized again and i have already passed the requirements for my visa, disaster struck. it turns out the entire australian embassy is moving to a new building (for better security against terror threat) therefor there is no communication, work or even processing of any sort during the transfer which is ongoing now. therefor my trip to australia for college maybe undeniebly cancelled because i do not wish to pursue for the third time. my college there will give me additional 3 years of study while here if i go on schedule will be on college for 1.5 years left. since i am already on my third year while there i will be going back to my first year as a student. i do not wish to waste my time anymore.
talk about bad timing? bad luck of events? sign of God not wanting me to go (having his own reason)? .. well i believe all of that. but i already set my heart and was prepared for it only to fail now. sigh.
so, To the people i was suppose to meet there namely: Memnoch, Wellard, Earthdog (ed [img]smile.gif[/img] ) and the rest, sorry that i could not make it. (and i wanted to go sking and party too
). anyway, maybe just maybe i would be going for masters (after college) instead in australia. so just you wait guys, there may be some hope for me yet [img]smile.gif[/img] .
ps: there were some other incidents that also took place but they seemed minor as i only included the major stuff that happened.
