OK.

Knowing that this was God’s will does not seem to stop the mind from coming up with so many reasons to help rationalise decisions like this. I was already prepared to accept the fact that I might not get this scholarship because of the 4-month wait between the letter of acceptance and this notification since they were suppose to award scholarships on a monthly basis.
But I still came up with this last one: For me, this was going to be more of a ‘honeymoon’ period (and another European adventure at that), a continuation of my university life, rather than a pursuit for a master’s degree even though the field of study was one that I was interested in.
At least now, my mind has already started to focus ‘full steam’ on planning cycling trips.
