Acceptance!

So after an agonising month of waiting for my acceptance package to arrive from Estonia, I decided to bite the bullet and ask Piret (UT's International Coordinator) if she knew what was going on and if she could help.

Her response was simple, "It might have just got lost in the post" and with the email she attached a scan of the acceptance letter and online versions of everything else.

They like me! They really like me!

However, the email excitement didn't stop there! On Friday I received another email, this time from the mysterious Ülle Tensing, an email completely in Estonian!

I was extremely excited until my mate Janno translated it and I discovered it was just confirming the details of my monthly scholarship I get while I'm there, which I already knew about.

The most exciting thing about the email was the reality of the task of having to learn Estonian finally dawned on me. With words like 'majandustoetuse', 'tegevusvaldkonnad' and the multi accented 'Vahetusüliõpilaste' I've been confronted with the fact that this is not going to be as easy as I would like. But as I've said before, it's not fun unless it's a challenge.

Three weeks, Three days!
