My abstract accepted
Something good finally showed up amidst these last few chaotic days. My abstract entitled Using BALL in ESL Writing Class has been accepted by the conference organiser of the 10th Annual Conference on World Wide Web Applications. I emailed the abstract 2 weeks ago knowing that it’s already beyond the closing date. So it was just a gamble which paid off. Nevertheless, I read the email with mixed feeling. Talked to my boss last week about my eligibility to present paper at overseas. She said that I should have informed her earlier so that she could put me as one of the presenters for this year and the centre will have allocation of budget for me to do so. Goshh! It’s something which I didn’t do because I was not aware of all these procedures. I just hope somebody in the ‘eligible’ group will not use his/her slice of the pie. I’ll talk to my boss again. Who knows luck will be on my side. Otherwise, it’s thanks but no thanks Johannesburg.
