mme metaphysician - thanks for the advice.
I will try the technique you explained - I've been feeling really far from God (I used to be very religious) and very unspiritual lately but I will try it nonetheless and I'll post about it.
It's odd that you mention signs -
One of my aspirations when I was in high school was to go abroad to study for uni. I especially wanted to Oxbridge as a youngster (oh, I feel so old) - I really wanted to go to university in the UK or the US but decided against it. I didn't even end up applying - I had the marks but for some reason I completely shut it out. This semester I started looking into possibly doing an exchange program which was the launching point for re-examining my academic situation this year.
So, by chance - remember, I go to a school with over 40,000 students - I was introduced to an exhange student this semester who is originally from the university in the UK that I chose as my top choice for my own exchange application. It was a pretty weird coincidence. She thought it was weird too - we've totally clicked since and have become good friends.
Also, another one of my friends who's studying in the UK randomly e-mailed me a few days a go to ask me if I was still thinking about going to the UK next year and if I needed any help or advice. This was literally a few hours after I had written a whole e-mail to her to ask for advice on applications but decided that since we hadn't talked in so long that it might be weird and decided not to hit send.
Probably just coinceidences but a more spiritual or open person may see them as signs...
