My dream crushed
I'm not going to England for my externship now. I've been trying to deal with it all weekend...at times definitely not making the right choices with how to deal. I'm getting better and feeling a little more hopeful, but I woke up this morning and received an email solidifying the suspected outcome. Apparently there's some diplomacy issue between the US and England and they're not issuing visas or work permits for American students. I'm sure some stupid American pissed off a Brit so they decided to lay the smack down on us. I hate being pissed on because of someone else's stupidity.
I am terrified that I'm going to end up in some crap hole in the middle of no where for my extern now. I know there are opportunities available, but my experience is limited and my resume lacking. I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that I got completely lucky being accepted to the London site the first time...what are the chances that I would get lucky TWICE?
Anyway, trying to be positive and not "wallow" in it as one friend said I was doing this weekend. (How the heck do you wallow in something you only found out THAT DAY?!)
I need a big ole boy hug.

OH NOOOOOOOOOO! oh christian that sucks. i'd be wallowing too. dumb brits.
hopefully something jsut as cool comes out of this. you should be that lucky twice- you rock my sox
aww....sorry christian
i think i kinda understand how that feels. i got accepted to an AG seminary in India, but the government flipped out because i'm christian and purposely held my visa for months without even telling me if i'll ever get a visa, and i missed school, and AG asked me to not even try to go back, so i have to find a new school if i want to go.
but, don't give up. you might find another good one. perhaps the complete ridiculousness of the unfairness shows that it might be the hidden smile of god hidding behind a frowning providence.
OH NO! That is awful. I had no idea things were that bad between the two countries. That really stinks. :(
