I just got an email from Unesco. Apparently they did write to me, but I never received that letter. In any case, my application was denied, as I had thought.
Dear Ms. […],
I am sorry that apparently you haven’t received our letter.
Your application could not be accepted (Decision from 16/04/2004).
Still I wish you the very best for your future career and aspirations.
Best regards,
Markus Voelker
Interim Chief HRM/Training
UNESCO
I have no clue what that decision was, but it was made either just after or even shortly before they received my application, so I’m guessing it’s some internal policy and nothing directly connected with my application. Oh well.
Now the question is whether I should email Brigit about the thing at the Tropical Institute right now, asking whether I could do it in September/October, or whether I want to concentrate on my German Lit paper and do the internship (mainly processing data – very uninteresting, but it’d get me the credit I need) either during the semester or afterwards. I guess I’ll just ask her whether they still have capacities open. *shrugs*
It’s just a pity that I haven’t got the chance to do something that I’m really interested in…
In other news: I’m currently working on the switch from MT to WP – looking quite good, except that I accidentially discovered a problem with WP, where it doesn’t call on the proper mysql database. So it might be another couple of days until the move is complete.
