This morning I was called into Prof's office. I thought oh no what have I done?
Prof: I have been thinking about your project and it is turning out to be very exciting, is it not? We have been impressed with your work and would like you to stay another 6 months.
Me: (Silence...with mouth wide open)
Me: (More silence....) That is very kind of you Prof but I think Glenda will kill me. She wants me back in time to submit my thesis in June, plus my scholarship fund will run out soon.
Prof: That's ok we will give you a salary for 6 months and extend your visa for you. You can write your thesis here, and I will even help you with corrections if you wish.
Me: (still stunned and speechless). Thank you for the offer I feel very privileged but I will need to talk to Glenda and my husband.
Prof: Email Glenda and tell her we are not trying to steal you but we just want to take advantage of this project and would love for you to be a part of it. If you can't stay don't worry, don't feel like I am blackmailing you ok? But please think about it.
Dilemma is what should I do about this situation? I am homesick but at the same time to be offered another 6 months with a salary in such a prestigious lab is hard to come by, a very good opportunity for me. Hubby's work want to keep him on for longer too so it wouldn't be a problem. I don't know what to do,
I am also waiting for Glenda to respond to my email and see what she thinks. Chris if you read this don't tell mum yet ok? I think I will wait to hear what Glenda has to say.
I need prayer and advice.....

O_o... OMG. i don't know what to say. i want to simultaneously laugh and cry. Am praying like mad. -_-;;
OMG OMG!
That's brilliant onni!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is not an offer that just plonks into your lap every day. While your family and we will always be here waiting for you, that kind of opportunity certainly won't wait around.
AND Kiyoung oppa is wanted by his work to stay on. And wasn't his contract extended only very recently?? Talk about timing.
But .. omg omg.
STAY IN LONDON with me!
Thanks for all your support and everyone that called me...thank you. Glenda is overseas so I have not heard from her. I think the decision will depend on what she has to say. Will keep you guys are posted^^
STAY IN LONDON WITH YB.
Even though we all miss you guys, It sounds like an awesome offer!
I will keep you and kiyoung hyung in my prayer!
