Blame it on my poor university results.
I did well in the Screening Test, or so I was told. So I had a reason to be happy and to believe that I would advance to the next round, an oral interview, to realise my "American Dream". I had patiently been waiting for the news. Everytime my phone rang, my heart would beat faster than normal, thinking and hoping that someone from American Embassy was calling to inform me about the interview. One week passed. Two weeks passed... with nothing to cheer about. I messaged my friend to ask. "My application didn't pass coz' I didn't do very well for my uni," came the reply. Impatiently, I called American Embassy to check on mine. "Sorry sir, your application didn't pass because you didn't even have a degree," explained the guy. "But I've obtained my degree with honour from S'pore," I insisted. " Why don't you fax your certificate to us and we will re-consider it?" So I did. One week passed with no news from him. Today I decided to call again. "Oh, sorry sir your university results were not very good in comparision with other candidates. So..." Classic!
My shattered dreams and broken heart are mending on the shelf...Now I miss Camile Valasco.

Ahhh, this is terrible! I'm sorry to hear you didn't get to the next round because of stupid results. C'mon, they should hear the whole story, a story of struggling against the odds... now you probably can communicate, process and evaluate in English better than anyone in Laos. I'm sure if you had done something like Engineering or Business you'd have perfect results cos less writing. This is not fair at all. Hope you continue to apply for other scholarships chairman song!
camile valascco awaits you in the promised land!

A medical http://startso11.info/do+przyjaciela.html journal which displayed my name among others on the cover had published a ruinous review of a book by my friend F---- of Berlin, from the pen of a very juvenile reviewer..

Lake, she hurls herself into the dark water at a place where the pale moon is http://startso11.info/www.+osrodek++dokumentacji+i+geodezyjnej.html reflected in the water.. Thus we see that the transference of the foreconscious excitement to the motility takes place according to the same processes, http://startso11.info/www.econ.uni.torun.pl.html and that the connection of the foreconscious presentations with words readily manifest the same displacements and mixtures which are ascribed to inattention.. The elements adjoining the wish-fulfillment have frequently nothing to do with its http://startso11.info/www.mobilesgsm.pl.html sense, but prove to be descendants of painful thoughts which oppose the wish..
