Should I, or should I not? I guess decision-making is really not my thing. The more choices I have, the more confused I get. Probably bcos somehow, I'll always end up making the wrong decision :-/

Going for overseas internship (OITP) has perhaps always been a dream of mine ever since I went to Poly. Especially to Yale University in the States. And guess what? Yale is one of the choices for OITP this year once again. To be very honest, going to Yale has always been a dream of mine. But nah, I have to be practical. It's too far. It's too expensive. And in Jan it'll be winter. Meaning that I've gotta spend extra money just on winter clothes, how practical is that? Furthermore, USD conversion rate has always been high :-/ everything's so not in my favour.

However, on the list, I saw Murdoch Children Research Institute, University of Melbourne being offered as one of the choices. Unlike Yale, everything seemed to be in my favour. It's not too far away since it's just Australia. It's not that expensive, pretty much still affordable. And in Jan it'll be summer. Hot, just like SG. Or even hotter. But that's okay. At least having to wear less is better than having to wear more, isn't it? Furthermore, I've been to Australia before. Although not Melbourne. And yea, AUD conversion rate has dropped to 1:1. Well, there about.

So many thoughts have been going through my head for the past few days ever since I went for the talk. Okay, it was more like a briefing. Money is a main concern, but it isn't really that much of an issue I guess. I don't really know what's holding me back. And yea, it's a good and rare opportunity, definitely. But the thought of having to spend 10 weeks, or rather 11, in a foreign country, is rather daunting. Imagine having to go there all alone, without anyone alongside. And I'll have to spend New Year's eve, New Year's and Chinese New Year alone over there too. How lonely :-(

So should I, or should I not? Zzz, I really don't know. But so far, everyone has been telling me to just try for it, and just go if I can. I guess I shall not think too much and just try for the interview, right? If I so happen to fail the interview, I don't even have to worry anymore, aha. Meh. Alright, shall go with my gut feeling... Hopefully this time round, I'll make a decision that I'll not regret.

Just gonna hope for the best.
