oh, crap (II)
(if you somehow don't know, there're links at the sidebar for you to navigate to my previous posts. this is an afterthought to the most recent post before this.)
okay so in the span of like, one & a half hours (since Rae got me up & now) i've been doing alotta contemplating, thinking, considering & pulling my hair out. this is the second time i've thought this much since the o's; i didn't intend on doing it again so soon. i realise that in general, i've never gotten my first choice. what i want, what i dream of. i always seem to get the second or third best. the same goes when i'm awarded with prizes or whatever. (except when i got best in Humanities in TKGS; woohoo that was a pure joy!) maybe i'm like jinxed cos nuraini always (more or less) gets the choices/things she wants. hmm. contemplations lead to headaches. too much contemplations. too terrible headaches.
so let's weigh it out.
NYP. superb campus grounds, but very far location (YIO CHU KANG - knn you expect me to travel all the way there every morning?!). very
ulu, too. even though it was my third choice. come to think of it, i was more attracted to the campus itself rather than the course - huge mistake on my part. so now that i've got it.. well, i'm speechless. the course structure looks really attractive & good & since its a new course, i'll be graduating a pioneer! haha. besides, there's the opps to learn french & jap!
BUT.
it's only H&R,
not Tourism which is what i really really really really want. (don't ask me what's the difference cos there is one, just that to explain it to someone who gives less than a fuck would be rather useless.) besides, the opps for grads are mainly stated to be
"locally or regionally." cb. that turned me off.
TP. i don't like the campus, however location is very convenient; one straight bus. the course offerings are good, although very conventional & typical. bsides, success stories from TP are rather amazing. PLUS, we'll be learning stuff at Sentosa, which is just too cool to argue with any other options. however, it's in the east. the place i wanna run away from. & temasek isn't really where i envisioned myself to be. nonetheless, i appealed for TP cos i qualify for it, but
on the fucking dot.
NP (ahh yes, rae. i know you want me there.) &
SP. FAT CHANCE AH. cut off point for both was TEN. i have an ELEVEN. grah. how could this travesty be. i was so annoyed. only SP & NP offer
Tourism & Resort Management diplomas & i badly wanted to go to either. campus for NP is really good, although distance abit
leceh - MRT & bus; what if i'm late? nonetheless, great campus, & course structure is really appealing to me. SP travel time is rather convenient; one straight train line from my side, all the way to Dover. although the campus isn't really what i'd call attractive, the course structure sounds good & the internships are fab. they sent one of their batches to Switzerland for chrissake. i can totally see myself getting outta here.
so far i've sent my appeal online to
TP & NP (mass communications), & results will be out on thurs. meanwhile, daddy's gonna check with SP & NP, and my job is to go to both campuses tomorrow to appeal personally.
thing is.. now i'm in a rut. should i or shouldn't i appeal? if i get my choice of appeal, i can only go for that, & nothing else. since i've appealed for TP, i've wondered if i shouldn't have done that.
ah fuck. really, this isn't helping. Adel, i hope you read this cos i'm in need of a starbucks trip.
