sorry for the long absence. Time flies..and my holidays is getting shorter and shorter. I looked through the calender and counted the days i had left in KK before leaving to Aus. Two more weekends and i m heading to Geelong City, an hour train ride from Melbourne City. As for now i have to say goodbye to Adelaide. It struck me hard when i knew that by accepting the offer of this course, i wouldnt be able to go back to Adelaide. I thought of the good times i had in Adelaide, the environment, the fresh air and most of all my beloved friends. Those were the little things i treasured and didnt want to let go. I had a choice of rejecting a good offer or i had a choice of sacrificing something that i loved most and do a course that is much better for me. I was in a dilemma for one moment.
somehow or rather i think God has a plan for me. In the beggining i had made up my mind that i would do Nursing. My parents also prefered me to do something better so while waiting for offers to come, my dad came across the 'demanding job lists' in Aus..which majority was engineering and health sciences course and one of them was 'Occupational Therapy'. We started asking each other, what actually is 'occupational therapy. I started reading through Uni brochures bout the course description, did some research on the web...and finally understood the word 'Occupational Therapy'.
Looking at the word occupational..u may think that its dealing with occupations..as in jobs. Sounds more like i am a 'job therapist'..if u couldnt find a job or dont know what occupation u intend to do..come look for me..i will give u the best counceling and provide u the best service and pathways to a gd job/occupation. Anyways..i m not a 'job therapist'. My job is to help people with disabilities or handicapped. I have to rehabilitate them and keep them occupied plus giving them lots of encouragement to tell them that being disabled doesnt mean that u r useless. It something new and interesting to discover.
Since then, i started applying to several Unis in other states besides Adelaide. Sort of trying out my luck as well to see which Uni will accept me.
Went through lots of trouble from filling in application form, applying online, visiting my agent's office regularly and sitting for IELTS which was a very last minute decision. PHewwwwwww* I almost went nuts..
I m relief that my accommodation is settled now plus i m more than happy that its few minutes walk to my campus. As for now, i hav a major issue to worry about now.....that is my Visa.....argh.....feel like squeezing the Australian Immigration and maybe my agent as well who has been helping me all these while. Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz sort it out asap.i m on the verge of going gaga again!!!!!!!!!!
I guess this is my destiny..........a new place, a new beginning and a new chapter in my life.
