The reality is........
Spent almost an entire night IM-ing Adam who's, sadly, back to where he belongs. Joy. He managed to persuade me to join a small liberal arts college which my mom pseudo-persuaded me to do post education fair at Le Meridian yesterday. We (mom and I) spoke to all the small college officials at the fair offering cozy settings and generous scholarships, ie Christian colleges and the works. Apparently, once you finish two years at these colleges, you get to shift over to larger, distinguished ones easily. Sounds like a good plan, both, for coping with the stresses that may come with culture shock and stress generally. Will most likely be applying for the Wesleyan Freeman Scholarship once my SAT results come through. Although the likelihood of getting these are close to 2 in a million. The japanese admissions officer was very clear with the reality of it.
Speaking of which, yesterday I managed to work against the clock for the SAT mock test that I snagged off the net. I think I did pretty ok with the time limits. And at a certain point I got hooked to the euphoria that came with completing each section in time and with a fair amount of ease. Stayed up til almost 3 am but I didn't feel the time slip by at all. I might be pulling through after all!
Someone from Auckland uni got in touch with me regarding admissions and scholarship offers. Was kinda thrilled and might go ahead and apply despite placing US on top of my list. Then Jeremy called to ask me whether I wanted to do telemarketing for his mom with all of the 'free' time I had.
Leez is coming over at lunch time today. WHeeeeee! We're goin halloween shopping again for our very halloween-y installation. Will be forced to revive my creative side, the right side of my brain has always been significantly larger and more active but somehow, I don't get off easy when it comes to crafts. Papier Mache! Eyeballs galore. Oooh, the gore! Haven't spent this much time with Leez eversince primary school! And I get to see Ernie again. After that will be heading over to Lee Hua's place to complete the program booklet. Dinner's on her. And I'll admit it, Lee Hua serving dinner has gotta be the most delightful news ever.
But I shall refrain talking about rotaract anymore for now since I've been told that my first name should be exactly that. I'm SORRY that I adore it so much that I can't stop randomly slipping it into my everyday conversations. And I'm sorry that I have more important things in my life to worry about apart from blogging. But whatevre.... (sorry Sher, had to pinjam tht!)
