Skipping Down the Road

Today I am grinning from ear to ear, there's a spring in my steps, and even the Japanese Language classes aren't painful. I've finally received a response from the Takase Foundation and they're granting me the scholarship. WOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Completely over the moon, hugged the lady at the International Centre who gave me the news, she was just as excited as I was! No more financial worries. And, better still, they're paying for me to go to Tokyo for the official ceremony where I get to meet Takase-san himself! I do have to make a speech, though, which I am planning to do in Japanese. Got to make an effort since they are giving me all this money. Oh happy day!
