It feels like a long time since I submitted my application for the American University in Cairo (see post on February 6). A couple weeks ago I received an email that said I've been accepted. I kind of assumed I would be admitted to the university - my grades are really good and I had good recommendations. I wasn't really surprised or excited about admission. As for the fellowship, only those awarded it are notified, so I figured I didn't get it.
A week ago today I got an email:
Dear TEFL Fellow,
Congratulations! I am pleased to write that you have been selected to receive a Fellowship and granted admission to the Master's degree program in Teaching English as a Foreign Language at The American University in Cairo. The terms of the award are the same as those outlined at the time you applied for the fellowship. This e-mail is to inform you of the committee decision and you will receive an award letter shortly.
I think my heart stopped. After four days of mulling this over, I accepted. Orientation is August 29, so I'll be out of here in less than four months. It's fast, but I think the right decision.

ReplyDeletePublic congratulations to you.
ReplyDeleteNow, does this mean I just have a couple of weeks to finish that book on Jerusalem you loaned me?
God's blessings and protection as you prepare and for the journey itself.
