Well, clicking the "submit" button was nerve-wrecking.
It's 4:30am right now and I underestimated the time it took to actually properly do up 1) Resume 2) Cover Letter 3) Autobiographical essay 4) Website to showcase works

Mother, I think I took more than a few days.

Will I stand a chance? I really don't know man. It's AP. I think the world wants to be hired by them hahaha. I mean, I feel like a drop in the ocean out of (probably) thousands of applicants!

But, fingers crossed.

Btw, I changed all my location choices. Because.... JERUSALEM WAS GONE. I dunno why but I no longer saw the option of Jerusalem. Instead, I saw Johannesburg. I really questioned myself as to whether I confused the Jays. But seriously, I SAW ISRAEL, I SAW IT THERE. My bro thinks someone snagged the placement already. I thought maybe coz it's too dangerous? So they decided to remove it. Haha, I dunno.

I was devastated ok, and had to re-read like numerous times coz I really wanted to go to Israel. Guess I'm not holy enough yet to step on the Holy Land. Or it's... A SIGN. But that's all right. I recovered after days and nights sobbing to myself hahaha I kid.

Anyways, I got down to rethinking my choices. And a few nights ago, the song "Carolina" by Kimbra came up on my iPhone.

And.. yes... I was thinking... Carolina.. North Carolina??!?! Is that it?!?! An option for that, yes??? Am I heading to America????

So I went to check on the website if there was that option.


Nah, couldn't find the word 'Carolina'.

But out of the typical major cities like Los Angeles, Miami and New York, there were options like Sacromento, Phoenix and Raleigh.

Clearly I'm not American so I didn't know which cities were those and had to go check up on those states.

Sacromento - California.

Phoenix - Arizona.

And finally....

Guess what? Raleigh...


NORTH CAROLINA.

Bloody hell!!!! I went to do a bit of research on Raleigh and it turns out to be a safe, quiet city with loadsa cafes, bars and restaurants. Probably closes early at night. I thought to myself, good lord, it's gonna be another small town.. so boring. But one thing stood out to me and the Internet said 'many hiking spots available'. And my mind went woohoo! I'm down!

Not only that though, after a bit more researching... The Guardian ranked Raleigh the number 1 city in the US to live and work. So I'm double down.

These are my choices
1st: Raleigh, North Carolina, USA.
2nd: London, UK
3rd: Johannesburg, South Africa

I seriously dunno what my chances are lah really. I'm applying and trying to test waters. What's funny is that my first choice now is even further away than before... America. You know, I recently told a friend that the one place that I have absolutely no interest of visiting is... Yeah, America. So I must seriously be possessed dude. POSSESSED. But, I really never know. Surprise me America. Surprise me more than what I see on my T.V! I'm sure there's more to the US than crazy whacks, guns, and How I Met Your Mother.

Another reason why I rejigged all my options was because, I read the requirements thoroughly again and realised that I have to be able to understand "the local language of the assigned country". I don't think I speak Hebrew or understand a word of Portuguese? So English language countries are all that I can go to. They have no option of China unfortunately, otherwise I might have a go.

I can't speak Afrikaans but I assume the working language of Johannesburg is English fwahhaa.


So that's life now. School's starting soon. I'm moving into hall soon. And I hope my FYP gets started soon. *YANKS HAIR*
