Light at the end of the tunnel (Fill in the blank with the right
verb form)
I didn’t know it at the time, but I _________(start) doing better gradually over the
course of the year. There were still many bad days, but eventually they
________(become) less frequent and less bad. I moved from my dungeon-like
basement apartment that summer to a lovely place full of windows in every room,
which __________(improve) my mood immensely. Just as it ________(be/not) a
single incident or thing that landed me into a pit of depression, it wasn’t a single
incident or thing that helped me get out. Bit by bit, all the small, positive changes I
was ________(make) slowly _________(snowball) into something bigger. By the
next fall (2013) I was in a much better mental space. I still worried about the school
year starting up again and that the stress ________(may) throw me right back where
I was. But it didn’t happen and I seemed to be ________(cope) with stress much
better, thanks to the combination of medication and therapy and my social support
network.

Soon the fall term came to an end and I was met


with exciting news right before Christmas break: I
_________(receive) the Australian research
fellowship that I ________(apply) for over the
summer! I was absolutely ________(thrill) that I would be funded to do research in
Australia for 6 months. At the same time, I was ___________(terrify) of ________
(leave) and being by myself for 6 months. I’ve had tons of experience travelling alone
and have ________(work) in Malaysia for 6 months and Korea for one year so I know
didn’t have a problem with culture shock and uprooting my life in the past. However,
being away from my social support was a very scary concept. After all, I felt like I was
FINALLY starting to get back on my feet. What if I have trouble adapting in Australia?
What if things don’t go well and I can’t turn to my friends for support? What if I plunge
right back into depression and I’m all alone in a foreign country?
