I’ve just got news that I’ll be getting an award for my exchange program in Canada. However, the amount I am receiving falls a bit short of expectation (OK, it’s very much lesser than what I expected). So I guess there is a high possibility I will not go on the exchange after all, unless I strike Group 1 or Group 2 Toto prizes tonight. Otherwise it’s just not financially possible to cough up another $6 – $7k by myself.

I guess I’m quite disappointed, since I’ve heard of people getting full sponsorship on the same award, and I expected a similar level of sponsorship for myself. I could perhaps ask for a review of my case, but I suppose there is a limit to others’ generousity and I should have a limit to how much help I expect to receive. I am already receiving free education, so perhaps I should try to be contented already.

On the other hand, now that it’s not financially possible to go on exchange, the problem of whether to leave my loved ones behind for half a year or so is automatically solved. That’s not much of a consolation, but I guess it’ll work for now.
