the world is finally round again

imagine holding your breath,
for 4 years,
n d relief and joy of being finally able to breathe again.
is simply overwhelming.

the world is finally round again,
n i can finally truly smile,
simply because,
i am very truly happy.

i hv to admit, the trip to adelaide was pretty daunting.
first, because i was going interstate,
alone, n i dnt kno anyone there,
n anyth abt that place.
n 2ndly of cos, the interview.

the nite i reached, i checked into my room,
n went out for a walk on jetty road,
which is equivalent to melb's swanston road,
but leads to the beach.
all the shops were closed,
but it was nice to just take a stroll.
n walk along the beach.

the next morning,
i woke up n got to flinders uni.
it started off w a nt so brief briefing,
followed by the interview.

had to make a 4 minute presentation,
but with all the questions i was bombarded with,
it led to 30 minutes instead.
this was followed by a series of questions,
some personal, like y do u wana bcum a doctor,
n what s the one thing u regret most in ur life,
etc etc .
and some were situations, which were pretty tricky,
but i guess mostly required commonsense.

2 hrs later, it finally ended.
i walked out of the room feeling pretty good,
n made my way to d beach again,
before i had to catch a flight bk to melb.

it was when i reached the airport that it hit me,
(where i had 2 hrs to spare, doin nth, cos of the delay)
i totally screwed it up.
the more i thought abt my answers,
the more ridiculous it sounded.
hence, was beating myself up, the whole trip bk n the next day.

ironically, its a habit of mine, to check my mails every morning,
but sumhow, dat morn i dint.
i was out from 11 am til 3 am (talk abt taking abreak!)
n only when i came home that morning,
did i receive the letter, that was apparently been sent at 9am.

i couldnt bliv it,
i read it twice,
before i started screaming at the top of my lungs,
jumping as high as i possibly cud,
n ran over to my neighbors,
frantically banging on his door n screaming,
i got itttttttt! i did it!!!!
i dint kno wat to do,
i cudnt stop jumping arnd n screaming.

ive nvr felt that way b4,
it was strange,
but i cant complain.
it was the hugest n longest sigh of relief.

altho flinders isnt my first choice,
its good to kno that,
in the worst case scenario, ill still be doin medicine.
so i gues, dreams do come true after all,
just a lil later for sum.

sydney n canberra in a few weeks,
n ive yet to buy tix n book accomo,
it s such a pain,
but i shud do it soon!

Happineessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
i cant stop smiling,
ppl must be thinkin im a freak,
but i cant help it!
