Xx Local University Application xXI decided to do my university applications today. I felt quite sick in the stomach as I was doing it. I was thinking, "Will this completely lock out my 'proposal' to study overseas?" I admit it, I don't have the guts (yet), to directly put forth my "formal application" to study at an overseas university to my parents. All along, they have been hints and remarks, which were unfortunately put down faster than you can say "Overseas".
In any case, what's done cannot be undone. I will present (and fight for) my "wish" in time to come. I just need to come up with a better justification. Otherwise, there'd be major changes to my future plans. Then again, my "future plans" are rather short-term and haven't been given sufficient "viability studies". Sigh. Growing up isn't that great after all. With all these decisions to make, it really tires the mind.
I'm still waiting for Mr. Wong's reply on my cumulative GPA. It should be roughly 3.85, if I'm not wrong. Damn NUS needs it for application. Actually, I'm not very keen on going to NUS. Yes, I fear the
extreme competition there (though I believe NTU also has a 'Survival of the Fittest' classroom model). We shall see what happens.
Shall mail in my applications tomorrow. Can barely meet the closing date of 21st February. The stupid envelope is too big for my printer to print on. Shall get my Mum to use her ancient typewriter then.
Anyway, here are my choices.
Nanyang Technological University- Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering
- Accountancy
- Environmental Engineering & Economics (Double Degree)
- Chemistry and Biological Chemistry
- Materials Engineering & Economics (Double Degree)
National University of Singapore- Chemical Engineering
- Business Administration (Accountancy)
- Environmental Engineering
- Science (Chemistry/ Applied Chemistry)
- Materials Science and Engineering
So there, my choices. I value engineering above sciences, that's why I placed Environmental Engineering above Chemistry. That's what I think la, but I seriously hope I don't regret that.
Anyway, that's about it for now. Will know the results late May or something. Let's see what happens then.
Shall be sitting for my last paper (hopefully) in Ngee Ann Polytechnic on Friday. Drinking session tentatively planned on that day, and I wasn't the one who suggested it. Harvard and Shih Wing mentioned it on the bus, and Alex talked about it at Suntec. See, I'm not an alcoholic okay? Hahaha.
Cheers! Auf wiedersehen!
