Tough times

Ehhh short holidays has been finished. My small Berlin summer is gone and the trouble times have begun!

I wanted to go to Australia like from always… I’ve been on Australian Community newsletter for a few years now, I found Universities and courses in which I am interested and it’s about time to do something about it. I managed to contact the representative of my University and applied, I took IELTS exam, sent all the papers and waited for some news. But in the mean time I thought it is always good to have plan B, so I applied to European University too. Then I received my results. I have conditional offer to Australia and I am accepted to European course!!! I was so happy when I found out.
The European course is great too. It’s held in English, the first part of studies is on University of Barcelona and the second part is on the French Sorbonne in Paris. However my enthusiasm cooled down, when I read that I have to pay 1000euro as a deposit for my European studies. I can’t afford paying such deposit and just loose it in case I will go to Australia. On the other hand from Australia they told me I have to take GMAT exam in order to be accepted. Of course GMAT costs about £158 so there is no free of charge solution Anyway, today is the last day when I could pay the deposit for booking my Barcelona/Paris studies. I didn’t pay it, so you have to cross your fingers for my GMAT and Australia, because my Plan B no longer exists.

Besides, I got used to going to my work and doing my day-to-day nice things that I am always not in a mood for learning My first GMAT learning experience has ended with a quite nice nap
Thus now though times have come. I have to study and work and figure out new plan B.
