I was praying fervently for this feeling of sureness.... a finality... so that a I can make a decision with no grudges, no regrets. Because God know best what would bring us success and happiness, I have to rely on him. Even though the people around me were reflecting what I was thinking, my heart was still troubled. So I had to ask many times for Him to give me a sign. I did extra prayers to ask for a clear sign between two choices, a choice which is so hard to make. I yearned so much to look into the future so that I could see which University I would be in but how can an incapable and frail human like me do that? I need the answer quick because the acceptance process is in itself, long and tedious. I have been lazy to ask for help but once I did oh All Praises be to Allah cos it was kind of quick.
And suddenly I had this flash of me studying and I knew which University it would be for me. Not that I wouldn't have to study in the other University but the stronger impact was on the emotion. And suddenly I felt calm and at peace. No more anxiety no more stress. I didn't feel the need to do copious amount of extra research or reading the schools magazines or emailing strangers anymore.
As one stranger used to say to me: "Don't think too much" . So I must not think too much anymore of the other possibility, the other track, about anything else pouring down the drain. I just need to use that to fuel my still unreached goal.
Which university is it?
I'll tell you in person. :D
