I first found out about the Rout 250 project towards the end of January. Beginning immediately thereafter I devoted all of my spare energy into applying to become a founding fellow in the project. After being chosen as a finalist in the running for the 8 fellowship positions, 15 days ago I received the devastating phone call which said I had not been chosen to go. And since then I have devoted all of my spare energy trying to convince myself that the Universe was indeed NOT at odds with me, and that I was indeed NOT meant to go, as I had so strongly felt I was for what seemed so very long.
Today while at work I got a phone call from Lisa saying that someone had dropped out, asking me to take their place.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are no words to describe my level of excitement and relief! I am so happy! My mind is a mess! And I have such little time to adjust all elements of my life so that I can leave. I’ve got to sell everything and get out of here! I’ve got to jump off this cliff!! I can’t believe this!!
