Short story: 
I am going to write my masterthesis on attachment in fosterchildren! This is the one subject I really want to research and I'm doing it under a doctor who seems very excited at working with me specifically! I'm so freaking excited! :D

Long story:
About two years ago I had a very interesting lecture of a woman who was supposed to talk about abuse but ended up speaking mostly about attachment and attachment disorder, and her own research on attachment in foster children. Having grown up with foster brothers and sisters and with them being one of the main motivators for my choice of study, I went over and talked to her after the lecture. It was a very interesting talk and by the end of it she said to come and look her up once I started my masters degree. If she had the hours to help with a master thesis, she'd like to help me research in that area.

I'd never expected her to remember me. I mean, I was just some student, right? But I figured that I could always try. We have an addatage that says 'Never shot is always missed' and it's a good one. So I send an email explaining who I am, about my background and asking if maybe she'd like to help me.

I got back a very enthusiastic email. Turns out she does remember me and she'd really like to help me out, and we just have to figure out a time table and such! After a couple of emails back and forth we have an appointment on the 10th of September, first thing in the morning. (The 10th is the day I also get my master introduction and classes start the week after). I'm thrilled and baffled and feel almost honoured. I mean, most people writing their master thesis just kind of end up doing something or other with someone or other. Instead I get to work with someone who seems to be genuinely pleased to be working with me, on the one subject I could see myself doing more research in than at all necessary. (As in, in the unlikely event I was asked to do a PhD on this subject I would. Veeeeery unlikely that ~_^ )
