.. Dilemma Part II

September 19, 2006

Just when I thought everything was settled. :(

If you read my previous post regarding this issue, in the comments section, I wrote that I can go to Mecca with no problems, as long I have a letter to prove that I will be going to Mecca. Anyway, like I suspected, my examinations clash with the date I’m going. So, I went to ERU and gave them a letter last week ( Tuesday ). But I was wondering why it was so long for me to get the reply, so I decided to today to ask them again what’s my status for my examination. To my horror, they said I will only know after the second week of the holidays ! To make the matter worse, they said to me they may / may not approve my request to sit for the examination as a first attempt, EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY HAVE A SOLID REASON.

Meaning, its a gamble. I may or may not take the examination as a first attempt, or maybe take it as my supplement. It worries the hell out of me…How am I going to Mecca peacefully like this if my examination status is not confirmed ? :(

I just hope I can take it as a first attempt…:(

Please pray for me my friends…

*edit*

Well, I just found out that I need someone to defend my case during the BOE ( Board of Examination. ) So, I asked the help of my Dean to help me out. I also found out that usually when it involves people who are going to Umrah, they will give as first attempt. Guess I’m going to depend on fate and luck. I have no more regerts / worries anymore. I can finally go in peace. Even if I graduate / finish late, I guess that’s part of my fate. For now, I want to focus on my spiritual Journey to Mecca. :)
