ELATION-pathological euphoria sometimes accompanied by intense pleasure (merriam-webster dic)

i am in a state of euphoria ;> i am so excited, elated, ecstatic...take all the synonyms of the word from every thesaurus you can find. i am that ;> and more...weeeee....

i recently got my UK visa. It is valid for 6 freakin' months ;> i am goin' there wit my colleague and friend, zenith. she has a sister who lives in coventry. so, basically, we'll be staying there. we were supposed to visit scotland for the 1st week but due to some recent developments, the schedule has changed.

my boss (the highest in hierarchy) spoke to me this morning and asked me bout my visa. i told him, yes, i have it already. and he asked when i planned to go to london. i told him, we might go there for a day and do the sightseeing then return back to coventry in the evening. and he exclaimed: 'you cant take it all in in one day! london is very big! everything's there and it should take u 3days to tour around the city'. i explained to him that despite the fact that we do have our visas, we really dont have much money to spend (well, am speaking for myself anyway). and so he said...when do you plan on going? i told him the date and he said to me:

"you shall go to london on the 5th, check-in in the hotel near the office, do your sight-seeing in the afternoon. next day, whole day, you shall do more sight-seeing (after which he drew the location along with all the bridges with all the tourist spots we should visit i.e. buckingham palace, london eye, big ben, etc.). on the 7th, you shall have the opportunity to visit our london office and in the afternoon, you may go back to coventry" (it was more exciting hearing him speak, of course ;>) nway, lastly, he said: "ill have carol arranged it, ill give you all the details later"

i am wishing fervently that when he said he'll hav carol do the arranging, he means he'll pay for the hotel stay as well since i know i explicitly told him, we, well i, didnt have money to spend.

aaahhhhhh...cant dwell on that right now...am just so elated.

and you may wonder that eventho' my honhun isnt coming wit me, i am still overjoyed. well, the truth of the matter is, this is just the beginning. hopefully, after this uk stint, it would be easy getting a schengen visa. zenith, her partner, honhun and i are planning to go visit some of the schengen countries next ;>

and that, folks, keeps me in elation.
