Elaborating on an old post about how everyone but myself seems to think I need more responsibility and am more capable than I already am, it seems now people other than the faculty and students at my university seem to be catching on to this train of thought. I got a call in the midst of an enjoyably frivilous lunch informing me that I had been shortlisted by my coordinator to interview for one of four spots that would be going to Pakistani university students, and may end up going to India to represent Pakistan in some conference conducted by the UN. So now I have to get some serious reading up on world affiars, geography and history to be able to pass muster at the interviews. Not that I have much of a chance of getting it, with people from LUMS (aka well-read and intelligent people) and such in the competition, but hey, one can try. So much for a peaceful and enjoyably frivilous vacation.
