A dear friend of mine, Kucing, brought up a typical KY-student-dilemma topic just now while we were watching the induction shit program for juniors (which will be explained later). University applications, reference letters and grade requirements. As she is a Medic student, I understand her worries. It's not that easy to go overseas to do medic these days. Even if you're from KY. But I'm pretty sure she'll pull through. Well, my point is that that is what this whole week has been about basically. Or rather, what starting from this week will be like.
On Tuesday I already had that personal statement workshop with the lady from MABECS (go figure), then subject teachers began to ask us to fill up forms which consisted of things like university choice, course and reference writers. I already know mine but of course, there's a dilemma there too. Honestly sometimes I don't know why I let my dad tap into my head. Sure, aiming for the sky is really noble and all but when I fall flat on my ass I only have myself to rely on anyway. Plus the fact I lost my saviour. Anywho, I chose all universities close to London. I don't know if I should stick to them but I guess I don't have a better choice anyway. Cambridge (funny, I know), LSE, UCL, King's College and Queen Mary University. Cambridge and LSE require an A* for something and I have a feeling that subject will be History in my case. I suck at Maths and Econs while Literature is almost impossible for me to reach so high. My best bet would be King's I guess.
Everyone is worried. Everyone is talking bout it, even me. My fear has been realised. It's finally here. By end of next month I would already have submitted my Cambridge application if I'm not mistaken. I refuse to hope but of course I will pray for it. I know that somewhat contradicts but I just really want to avoid from getting truly disappointed and discouraged. Especially when people know you get rejected. It's freaking KY. Everybody knows. On a more bitter note, it doesn't help if you don't get a university placement at all.
I signed up for this and I know I should just shut up and buck up. I should start mugging and cramming and doing hundreds of sample papers or something. I just can't. Two weeks from now puasa will start. Then raya, then trials, then the real AS exams. In the midst of all that the university applications will go on and DOE awards training as well. Then the hols, replies from universities and more work to come for next year.
Kay enuff boring stuff. So, junior induction. They seem to have a lot of fun with the amount of activities and all.. Also they get the extra six months so that's kind of a bitch. Ngeh. It's a sign.
