Sray eMail stops chance of a lifetime.

I'm unhappy.

Well, it probably wasn't likely that I was ecstatic about something, given my last post, but still, I'm unhappy.

I was supposed to be going to America for my second year of university, but that's now officially off.

The reason.

A missing email.

Yes, one little email - and some people must send dozens in a day - has gone missing and wrecked everything. Actually it went missing two months ago, but I've only just found out this week. I'm rather disappointed. I was looking forward to it. Oh well, I suppose I can still go to America, to travel, and I won't have any work to do. I also have time to work somewhere and have more money. But it won't exactly be easy for me to get to know people there. That's what was good about the exchange - it would give me an instant circle of acquaintances, which may have been friends.

Well, let's just hope me going to America wouldn't have allowed someone to cure cancer or something. Now that would be very annoying.

Meanwhile, back in the real world, I have to find housing for next year now. It's not exactly easy. Most of the housing will have been taken by now, and whilst I'm resigned to the fact that I have to share with strangers (although there's a few instant acquaintances there), it's going to be tricky to find a free room. But, I only started a couple of hours ago, so there's time yet. But then it's not easy for me when I have to phone these people. Not only am I very nervous about speaking, I'm using the phone and contacting them. So I use emails. It's a good job I'm forgiving and/or have perspective. I won't swear off them. They may end up getting me a better friend than I'd have had in America.

We'll never know, shall we?

Bye
