here we go.
eversince I was young, I thought going to NUS FASS would be the perfect choice for me. I told myself as long as I can make it there, I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. one because I didn't think I'd be good enough, and two because I didn't bother reading up on other courses, which leads us back to point one.
but now that I've gotten my results, I realise I could go
anywhere. well maybe not exactly anywhere, because I suck at Maths and I never studied Science in JC. but every (relevant) window of opportunity is pretty much open for me. I don't know where to start. I woke up so early today, and now I'm at my computer reading up on scholarships, courses in all the universities to make sure I'll make the best choice that suits my interests and capabilities. I wanna ask around, get hold of people who are already pursuing their own majors. I suddenly realise there's so much to do, and application closes at the end of the month.
I know, I should spend some time to be grateful first, and then worry. trust me I've done all the thanking I could yesterday, to a point where my teacher looked at us and said 'happy people don't belong in the hall..you girls should leave you know.' and we did, giggling and screaming and running around, with everyone else glaring at us. for one thing I'm very proud of us, having come so far to be where we are today.
Comm Studies. Law. NUS FASS. NTU- Humans and Soc Sciences. SMU- School of Econs & Soc Sciences. it's funny how even with only 5 choices I'm having difficulty picking the best one. I'm hoping my application for that scholarship gets approved, so I can secure the next 8 years of my life- I wouldn't have to think about finances or getting a job after I graduate. if it doesn't get approved, I'll always have other opportunities to seize.
Life's been good, and I hope I won't let all this hype get to my head. now that we really, really have to start growing out from the JC-syndrome, I hope the rest of you work hard in getting what you want, too. best wishes. keep in touch.
