The reason that you didn't phone or mailed VCA at first......
was it because of the respect you have for them?
I think you dind't want to push too hard, because you where scared that it will have a negative effect on your chances there.

It might have been part of it. But there was definitely some degree of indifference involved.
I was already daydreaming about Wagga.

But at the other hand you said you prefere to work with cameras rather then the theatre work.
Well......then your choice is made.......isn't it?

I really like both, but the balance at the VCA is way off.
It's like 90% stage 10% screen or so, it seems.

I think your choice is made now!

you know. It might be.
Maybe I'm really just feeling guilty about the VCA.
First I apply and then they take me and then I tell them that I'd rather
go to some middle-of-nowhere town  :dunno: :doofywave: than to their famous college.
They're probably thinking I'm totally : :prop:  :mrgreen: :baby: :ill:.. then again that is
part of the job description. So they should forgive me.


In any case, thanks so very much for your advice. You've helped me a lot!
 
Update:

I told Melbourne that I was going to Wagga.
The choice is made, it's official, no turning back.

No way left but straight ahead.

I'm feeling much better.
 
Well done !!!!!!!! It takes courage to follow your heart !!!! But I loved what you said before:

Making a choice which is good in the long run?
Even if it bothers me on short term?
No, I don't think I can do that anymore.
That's what I used to do and it was wrong for me.
I made a conscious choice to stop 'playing it safe' and to
trust my intution. Even if it conflicts with rationality.

This used to be the story of my life too, but.........not anymore. Allthough sometimes rationality does its best to take over  :wink: :wink:

Bye

Miran :)
 
Thanks Miranda! I'm still not sure if it was intuition or madness  :-D
So every bit of support helps.
And it's so hard to know which idea comes form you heart and which one from your head.
:sword:


OK I just closed my eyes and imagined myself being in Wagga, and that felt
alright.
:sunny:

Same thing for Melbourne... well OK, but my head's hurting a bit and my
stomach threatens to 'knot up'
:stretcher:

:nana: I chose happiness over opportunity. hmm that doesn't happen every day!  :-D

Hi.......
I'm sorry I didn't reply earlier.
I was a little busy the last few days.
Congrats with your decision.
I think you made the right choice.
You just follow your heart.

By the way......when you're gonna start in Wagga actually?

Hi Bert!

Don't worry, I'm not very active at the moment either,
or rather too active, but not on the forum  :-D

13th February. That's the introduction week and the
week after that the real classes start.

They already gave me my intranet access... but no
Confirmation of Enrolment yet!!
Man, I really need it. I can't apply for the visa without it.

OK, well I got one way tickets, so if I can't arrange the visa on time,
I'll have to book flight's back and simply not use them.
But I don't know if there's a way of doing that without it getting expensive.
 
Well......there are a few treads about flighttickets here on XPdite.
Your sitiution is a little bit complicated,  but you better take a look at it.

Otherwise you can ask your flightcompany for advice.
Perhaps they have a solution for it..........
There may be a possibility to change your one way tickets for return tickets.......you'll never know.

Good luck! :up:

Hey Jassian,

Good on ya. I think you made the right choice. I believe in following your heart and intuition. I hope it will all work out for the best for you and that you get the confirmation in time to get everything done on time.

Good luck. And if you're ever near Albury, feel welcome to visit us.

:-D @ Bert:

Sorry it took so long, got hung up in all the red tape.
:-( I'm still wrapped in it, actually.
I got Singapore airline tickets so I can't change them, but I could
potentially buy seperate return tickets... or tickets to NZ..
I don't know *G* I'll find out. I'm more optimistic today :cool:


:-D @Erna:

Thank you! I feel it's the right decision, but you maybe also know that little
voice saying "what if", but it's not so loud in my case.

Albury's not so far, I might take you up on that! :evil: :up:
I haven't read you reports yet, but from what can I see, it seems
that you guys are doing well, I'm really happy about that. You're
very kind people, and deserve the best  :)

:)

Alright, mates, friends, compadres, amigos:

:unsure:  :w00t:  :win1: :lol1: :happy:
I got it:
[size=10pt]Applicant approved - you may now travel to Australia. [/size]   

I was just checking the status of my application.

You can imagine my surprise!
All I did for proof of relationship so was to let a nice lady from the
travel agency declare how often we've been on vacation together.
And that was enough!! I was ready for a lot more red-tape!!

Congratulations!!! :up:

I wonder where you all get these funny emoticons...

Can you give me a hint?
 
Look on top of your text box, you'll see:
