Some people have received e-mail from me about this matter, but I thought I'd share this announcement publicly now that I have something official in my hands (an acceptance letter and registration package that just arrived in the mail today), and since I consider you guys friends...
I am thrilled to announce that, after months of anxious waiting, and many more years of dreaming and hoping, I received word of acceptance of my application to pursue an M.Sc. degree in Energy Engineering at RWTH (Aachen Technical University) in Germany. Basically, in this program, I will be taking the next step in studies and research in combustion engines and engine design at one of the most renowned Technical Universities in the world!!
Those of you who have known me for a while will also know how long I have talked about and hoped for this. This acceptance represents the culmination and fulfilment of a deep desire of mine to go to Germany for many years. I have travelled there 4 times since 1999, and I have been fortunate to have been able to experience meeting so many people, and visiting places and sights that few have been able to.
Waiting in anticipation in the past months has been one of my greatest challenges, and I thank all those of you who have journeyed with me and wished me favourably in this endeavour, and for others who have remembered me in their prayers. The circumstances of my acceptance is nothing short of a miracle, as I feared that my credentials were not as strong as I felt was necessary for acceptance at one of the most prestigious departments and Engineering Universities in Germany if not in all the world!
My immediate challenges are to apply for a German student visa; selling most of my possessions (including my beloved Quicksilver
); coordinating the move from Canada to Germany; and working out financial details as I will be returning to full-time studies. The next few months will be very busy ones in many ways, but one of the biggest sacrifices yet would be to have to bid farewell to family, friends, and home, of which I consider you guys in that company. Such is the resolve of my dream that I am willing make this move. As a result, the upcoming summer will hold very special meaning for me as I take every possible opportunity out of all the busy-ness to enjoy the company of friends and family in a time of a lengthy but celebratory farewell.
Thanks for letting me share in my joy. Going back to school might seem the farthest thing from good news to some of you, but I am so happy!!!!!!!
Looks like I will be around until August.
