Well I wasn’t going to blog today after the book review, was going to blog in a day or so about some other stuff but a spanner has been thrown in the works today.

So I got an email (well it was really a text message from a friend prompting me to read my emails) from the US State Department. It says the following:

Dear Diversity Visa Lottery Entrant:

We regret to inform you that, because of a computer programming error, the results of the 2012 Diversity Lottery that were previously posted on the Department of State Entrant Status Check website have been voided. The results were not valid because they did not represent a fair, random selection of entrants, as required by U.S. law. They were posted in error.

If you checked the Entrant Status Check website (http://www.dvlottery.state.gov) during the first week in May and found a notice that you had been selected for further processing or a notice that you had not been selected, that notice has been rescinded and is no longer valid.

A new selection process will be conducted based on the original entries for the 2012 program.

You submitted a qualified entry between October 5, 2010 and November 3, 2010. Your entry remains with us and will be included in the new selection lottery. Your confirmation number to check results on the Entrant Status Check website is still valid. We expect the results of the new selection process to be available on or about July 15, 2011 at http://www.dvlottery.state.gov

We regret any inconvenience or disappointment this might have caused.

Way to throw a spanner in the works US State Department. I mean seriously. Just when I thought I had my life in order and back on track this happens! I had totally been content with this, but then I’ve been thinking about it all day today, and I am back at the same point I was at in the lead up to the results. Indecision.

Do I stay, do I go. What do i do! I really don’t know again now. I had made some decisions about my life but now, well thats back on hold. Everything is back on hold. These results will be up by the time I am in Canada, so It will be a crazy result if i get through, but either way, it’s screwing with my head again, not that my mind doesn’t need much more help at being screwed!
