Just like every
time when the course is coming to an end, you start wondering what will you do
when it finishes. I had already started thinking about it even before I started
realizing the course was finishing. Actually, even before this whole story
started.
A little
before Easter break, we were told about the possibility of becoming a couple of
Leonardo grants, so we could go to Durham (UK) for 3 months to work there. Almost
all of us thought that would be a great idea and an awesome opportunity. Still,
we had to wait for a while until we received further information about this topic.
Then, after
Easter, we were told that there was finally an extra grant (although it was
possible that it the end there were 2). The decision would be simple: the one
with the highest average would receive it. In case she did not accepted the
grant, it would be given to the 2nd highest and so on until someone
accepted it. But there was no need to ask a lot, and the grant was given to
Carolina, who was really happy.
This would
have been the end of the story… but if it had been like that, there would be no
point in me opening this blog.
On Monday,
May 20th, I got to the school. I was late, because there had been a
problem with the subway. When I walked in, I saw Susan making some copies. I
hadn’t almost walked through the door, when she told me “Inés, there’s finally
a second grant for UK. Your colleagues have told me that you are interested.
Tell me as soon as possible if you want it, because otherwise, it’ll pass to
the next person”. Susan… You made my day.
Right now,
this is basically all the information I have. But there’s one thing I know for
sure and that is that I’m really looking forward to making the best of this
opportunity.
Stay tuned!
