The truth is....SAT+me=@@
3:15 AM
Doctors give patients a number of thing. We give them medicine, we give them advice and, most of the time, we give them our undivided attention. But, by far, the hardest thing you can give a patient is the truth. The truth is hard. The truth is awkward and very often the truth hurts. I mean, people think they want the truth. But do they really? - Greys Anatomy, Season 3
I set my alarm clock at 5 am today. Pity that I put it on snooze. Coz the next thing I realized, it was too late to make it to the park, what more spend an hour or so studying? It may sound odd, but for a long long time, I've gotten used to planning how my mornings would go the night before. This used to work very efficiently during the A levels period of my life. 4 am morning studies are efficient coz there is hardly any noise at ALL. I functioned in spite of the grog. And getting exercise out of your schedule in the morning itself is a master plan of all sorts. Believe me, if you're an avid whatever with regards to sports/exercise, get it over with in the morning. Coz if you leave it to later in the day, you'll just be too tired or too whatever to go with the plan. Plus morning endorphins rock!
Anyhow, my routine has slightly spun out of just that-routine. I think it's coz I'm not taking the SATs seriously enough, which sucks. I wish procrastination wasn't a characteristic. Bleh! My attentions span wanes so fast that I seem to be only finishing a page a day. Thanks to more Grey Anatomy!!! I just can't seem to control it. It's like this uncontrollable monster has taken over me and I'm stuck! Literally! My SAT reasoning score was just so-so. No, it was worse than so-so. When I compared my score to that of the students at some of the more reputable unis in the States, I am nowhere near. Which makes me feel crappy and like my brain cells are ultimately decreasing by the second. I wish I were one of those naturally intelligent people who did awesome without having to study. I'd kill to have that right now. And I'd kill to have Heidi Klum's figure too, but that's another story.
But apparently, even those people struggle to survive. Adam was telling me how he was struggling with his math elective so much that he felt like withdrawing. And this is one smart ass dude.
Me : Shaun calls me a babe. And so does Sanjay. Does that mean I'm a babe?? Does it??
Adam : Yea. Babe. Y'know. The pig? =_=
Went to send in my final documents to Auckland U today. And *surprise* *surprise* I managed to set a date for my scholarship appeal appointment with someone from the Ministry of Education in Putrajaya in 2 weeks time. If I get this scholarship, I will kiss the ground that the Ministry walks on.
A RM 80 parking ticket flapped almost too excitedly from under the wipers when i returned to my car. I tell you, that area breeds MPSJ reps. They're like hungry mongrels waiting, to either tow your car away or waste useful trees by spreading their papers all over the property. Anyway, dashed off to meet with Miss Irma and Miss Joy for reference letters. Why Miss Joy? Coz she's the one who persuaded me to retake GP and look what good came out of that....... Managed to catch up with Miss Irma for a bit although she was busy shifting offices. And she was really nice despite me forcing her to write me a letter with her being so busy with exams and the works.
Then drove to Eastin where I picked up Mike and we hurtled through the jam to get to La Manilla in TTDI for lunch. Mike can't pronounce TTDI. Mwahahahahaha! Anyway, it was great catching up with him. I think we should do this more often eh, Mike? Go to one place every other day til you get a taste of the food in every eatery in the area. LOL. Fffffuunnnnn!
Better rush off to "study" now.
The truth is painful. Deep down, nobody wants to hear it, especially when it hits close to home. Sometimes we tell the truth because the truth is all we have to give. Sometimes we tell the truth because we need to say it out loud to hear it for ourselves. And sometimes we tell the truth because we just can't help ourselves. Sometimes, we tell them because we owe them at least that much.Greys Anatomy, Season 3.
