a final decision

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

(love that poem)
yepp it's all done. i clicked the submit reply button, and clicked on FIRM. meaning i've accepted the offer at birmingham for real after much wishy-washiness.had a newsouthwales phone interview this morning and it was horrifying i swear i'm awful at interviews. although i may end up having no other choice, i've found it really hard making myself conform to the idea that i will be going to birmingham. whoohoo. months of emo-ness will follow for sure cause i can vividly remember my first few months in a new country(singapore). scaryyyyy. anyhow. it's done. i've taken the road less travelled and it better be good.
