Walls

So, I've been to see the person who's responsible for / knowledgeable about scholarships and sending people to other countries for their studies, and although my hopes weren't too high to begin with, they are now more or less dashed. I'm about eight years too old for most of the scholarships they give out, and said person sees a less than good chance for me to get anything at all.

I'm guessing that this means working in the UK after all. I'm also guessing that no-one there is waiting with open arms for me to show up and ask for a job.

This is all so frustrating; knowing exactly what you want to do for a change and not being able to do it, and being too old for the rest.
