Opportunity of a Lifetime

Hey guys! I have some wonderful news! My supervisor at the office in Bamako just asked me if I wanted a more permanent position with the UNDP. Of course I said yes! He then said there were several openings for junior positions with the UNDP and that if I were interested, I should definitely apply!!! So what does this mean? It means if they approve my application, I will work for the UNDP for the next few years, at least. I might even stay in Mali for 1 or 2 years, who knows? I had plans to apply to French graduate schools and to get a Master's degree but I wasn't sure if I would succeed in getting accepted. Actually, this professional post with the UNDP isn't a 100% guarantee either. Still, I think I'll apply anyway because, where's the harm in trying, right? Now I have a couple of plans for the future and I'm glad I'm not completely clueless as I was when I actually graduated in May. If I get into a Master's program in France, I'll go. However, if I don't get accepted and I get accepted to work as a junior professional with the UNDP, I'll do that instead. If I get accepted both into the Master's program and for the junior post with the UNDP... then... damn it, I'll flip a coin!!! That's how I always make potentially life-changing decisions =D! On the sad end of things, if neither option is for me, then I have other plans =) so I won't worry about that at all. Yay!!! I'm so excited! Wish me luck guys! Love you!!! (P.S. Karin... how's Jannike? I really miss her =( a lot)
