Here I am. I wanted change in my life, I wanted some new direction, I wanted to have plans for my future, and here I am.
Today, I had my personal interview at the Roosevelt Academy in Middelburg, which is in the Netherlands. It’s quite hard to get accepted, though, because they only accept 200 students each year and only 75 of them are from abroad, like me. Now, I had my personal interview with the Dean today and it went really well. I had lots, lots of fun talking to the Dean, we got along quite well and talked about so many different things, were engaged in philosophical discussions, and he also knew how to judge my character correctly – amazing. And then the final words, which were sort of obvious during the whole interview: “Let me congratulate you on becoming a student of Roosevelt Academy!” I got accepted. Amazing.
Now, what is this Roosevelt Academy about? It’s an internationally recognised university, the language of communication is English, there are more than 50 nationalities represented there, you live on campus together with people from all over the world, the academic program is not like the program you usually get – it’s much broader and not as limited as at normal universities, much more personal (e.g. there are classes not bigger than 25 people, you have a personal tutor, etc.)… it’s extremely cool, and just the right thing for me. It’s demanding, challenging, and just everything I would want to get from a university. I never thought it would be possible that I got accepted… and now I am. Accepted. Starting this year, in fall. =)
I’m damn excited, and still can’t really believe it. I’m extremely hyper, so I should return to my Guinness, have some fun and go to bed soon. A totally new course in my life, and I’m so much looking forward to it. Now I am much calmer and much more relaxed about everything – my final exams, etc., because I know what’s in store for me now. Finally.
Hallo, mein zweiter Kopf!
Ich freue mich noch immer total für dich, auch wenn dein Auslandsstudium bedeutet, daß wir uns bald seltener sehen werden. Aber es gibt ja noch das Telefon und das Internet, und außerdem – München oder Berlin wäre weiter weg gewesen *g* Ich drücke die Daumen, daß du dort glücklich wirst und das Studium so spannend ist, wie es klingt. Es ist toll, daß du einen Weg für dich gefunden hast. Und natürlich freue ich mich, wenn dieser auch ab und zu an deiner alten Heimat vorbeiführt
Pelikan!!!
Und hier werde ich natürlich auch ab und an vorbeischauen, keine Sorge. Was soll ich denn auch ohne meinen zweiten Kopf machen? ^^
Danke, das bedeutet mir wirklich eine Menge, dass ihr auch in der Hinsicht hinter mir steht. Natürlich gibt es Telefon und Internet, ich kaufe mir nächste Woche auch einen Laptop, damit ich da in jedem Fall einen Computer habe.
