Open Day at Edinburgh University

I was really apprehensive about going to the open day at Edinburgh University today I just didn’t know how it was going to go. So this morning when I was praying I had this distinct impression to meet with a lady named Connie Fox the department secretary for geosciences. On my way there I had an impression that she wasn’t going to be there. I was like come on Heavenly Father I felt like I was supposed to meet with this lady and I think she isn’t going to be there please sort something out for me. So when I got to the building of course she wasn’t there. So I was just in the hall looking at various graduate student projects when a professor came up to me and asked me if I needed anything. Well it was a direct answer to prayer and I told him what I was doing and if I could have a few moments of his time to ask him some questions. He was more than happy to invite me into his office and give me some needed guidance and direction. He first helped me understand that I was in the wrong area for my interests. I was in the Ecology area of the Geosciences and not the earth systems area. He then gave me some names of various other professors that I could meet with to help me discuss some areas of research. He was so helpful. I really felt that I was directed to him. I wrote down the names of the professors he gave me. After meeting with Dr. Williams I went back home and worked on some homework and this journal. Later on that night we went and got a kebab and took it to Amy’s birthday party we had a picnic and then played ultimate frisbee – I left a bit early because I was so excited to email some of these professors. I went to Parliament emailed Dr. Patience Cowie and then called home to my parents to tell them all the news. It was an amazing day.
