Or has the possibility too. I'm so happy but its only now iI realise that th things that I'm happy for aren't set in stone.
1. I have a job at the local pub. The landlady said she'd put me on a shift in about 2 weeks to show me what to do and everything then give me more stuff from there. I know almost everyone who goes into the pub, almost everyone who works there. It's also 10 minutes walk from my house.
2.I had an email on the 20th but it went straight to my junk folder - here's the innards
Dear HSK candidate,
We are happy to inform you that based on your 2008 HSK test score you are
eligible to apply for a Summer 2009 short-term HSK scholarship. The scholarship
consist of 4 weeks of intensive Chinese language tuition at one of China's
major universities, usually in July/August, and covers study fees,
accommodation and living allowance for the duration of the course.
Please let us know as soon as possible whether or not you are interested in
applying. Many thanks.
If i apply that means that I need to sort out my flights myself and a visa. I have some flights booked with my bro in august already, but thats for 3 weeks. I'm going to phone the Institue tommorow to see whats going on. BTW, HSK stands for HanYuShuiPingKaoShi - the Chinese Proficiency test. I'm taking a higher level in May.
I know I can't afford the flight and via by myself, but my parents already give me so much money and invest so much into my education and lifestyle. They get almost nothing back. I need the pub job to work and get plenty of money so that I can get to the scholarship (assuming I am successful in applying and not too late to apply). I can't do my chinese lesson on sundays when at university, so the added study time is invaluble.
Hope everyone is fine and dandy!
