La Vie en Yvonne

My life was totally upside down after met with God. It is going better and better. 

At the age of 25, I was baptized in the Preysbeterian Church. Since then, new life was born.

Working in KCG as an internaitonal affairs assistant and received those dignataries in political and sports fields.

What made me most excited about that work was that many new things and chanllenges happened each day.

Many new people to be met then. So freshy to a young girl. 

I learned how to manage work smoothly and solve problems proberbly.

I had the chance to translate and interpret for people and worked abroad. So many exciting things~

Until the end of 2009, I decided to go further: either study abraod or prepare for diplomat exam.

And then, spent whole year of 2010 on the preparation of diplomat exam, unfortunately, failed.

At the end of 2010, the most important and brave decision was made: quit the job, the stable financial income. 

Some people might think it was so crazy to quit the job and pursue the dream at the age of 28 while others are having a stable life. 

However, I have been working day and night in the past 3 and half years, no truly rest then. 

In the beginning of 2011, the first two months were the period to get back to the real normal life. 

After those two months, I decided to study abraod to fulfill my dream as an future translator. 

Many information about UK and Australia was collected. 

Except Newcastle and Bath, other schools in UK still could be apply for the 2011-2012. 

However, I don't want to lose Newcastle and Bath, so I delayed the date of application. 

Many good schools, such Manchester, Nottingham, Surrey, Leeds, Bath, and Newcastle, could be applied. 

First step was to meet the IELTS requirement of each school. 

That was my first time to attend the tension class for IELTS exam specificly in the whole month of April. 

Before the result came out, I spent a week in Taipei and Hualien and Tatung and that was the most amazing trip alone. 

The result of IELTS in May came out as  7 only. Not fair enough. So another exam in Aug was taken again.

Spent another 3 months for the exam. 

During those 3 months, Macqurie and RMIT in Australia informed that I had the official offer and conditional offer then. 

I was so confused and worried what to do, study in Aus. or UK. (I could not realize how fool I was to worry about that.) 

Scholarship of AUS GOV was applied at the end of June. Only full scholarship would pursuade me to study in Aus. 

At the end of Aug, result came out as overall 7.5. I was freaken out due to much surprise and grace. Of course, much cheered up. 

Finally, all documents were prepared to be sent to Newcastle, Nottingham, and Bath in September. 

(Leeds was passed for speaking lower than 7.5)

Not so long good news was heard from Nottingham and Newcastle, the offical offer and conditional offer in October. 

The interview of Newcastle was arranged in the beginning of November. 

The health condition was so bad and lack of preparation on the day of interview in Taichung. 

Soon I realized the interview was blow up. After that, a period of depresstion was lasted until the end of November. 

I was encouged by family to prepare for 2012 entrance exam in Taiwan since I had time in Taiwan. 

My mind was more confused then because it might ruin my plan in 2012.

 (2011 rest and made final decision of school, 2012 part time job)

Yet, I am still convinced. In December, working in Almond Milk shop to take little fresh air and hope my mind could be freshen.

Also learned guitar since November. Supposedly the result of school should came out before Christmas. 

Still no news from Bath at all. After that, every part of original plan was totally different. Pieces fallen upon the earth.

Therefore, the plan for postgraduate study would continue in 2012. (1. Bath 2. Scholarship 3. Domestic exam)

CONCLUSION:

1. Postgraduate Study: 85% completed.

2. Health: 50% completed. (No excercise/No health inspection for whole body)

3. Music: 50% completed. (more instrument should be used)

4. Church: 50% completed. (No fixed attendency on Sunday/No christianship)

5. Beauty: 0%. (no skin laser at all)
