I'm feeling like the ultimate bitch-queen now. So, I'm trying to limit all possible human interaction and feelings from me for the next five to six days until this monthly phase passes over. I think you know what I'm talking about. I can't put it anymore bluntly than that.
Anyway, all my energy will now be focused to nothing but studying, getting my three daily meals, and being driven on by music from my repeat playlists. The other reserves of my powers will be channeled towards trying to ignore my mom's nagging and blatant refusal to see my side of things most of the time. Well, actually more like all the time but I like to downplay things a little. Oh, and I've been lazily downloading 'Daria' too. I need some entertainment for the impending month-long semester break after my finals. Don't think I'll be getting a job simply because hiring someone for only a month to do some mediocre task six days a week doesn't sound very economical in the business sense. If it was two months, then I'd probably consider getting one. I've always harboured a fantasy to be a barrister just so I can tick people off for not adding enough milk in their latte or too little whipped cream in a frappe.
I'm counting the days till I can escape this land, which doesn't sound very patriotic considering national day is only a few days away. Yesterday's not-very-spontaneous lunch with Sharon and a quick visit at the IDP place in Subang just made me more convinced than ever that I should go to USyd or UNSW. Not that UMelb is bad but thinking of the place is enough to bore me already. It's considerably easier to get into the previous two where you need an average of Credit to Distinction to get in to transfer your credits where else Melbourne requires an average of Distinction to get there. It sounds that Melbourne is obviously the better choice because of their stringent requirements but the rest are just as good. And anyway, ANU is rated even better than Melbourne in terms of the top universities in the world but Canberra is not tempting enough for me to go there. Even if it is just a two hours drive away from Sydney. I forgot what was ANU's minimum requirement to transfer but I'm not that concerned with it. In addition, living costs are about the same in Melbourne or Sydney, with the tuition fees of UMelb being the highest in Australia.
And I could have applied to those universities too last week when IDP had their annual fair thing to get the application fees waived. Apparently, you could apply with your most recent results first and then when you've received the rest after completing the second semester, they'll simply transfer your results to the respective universities to see if you've met the requirements and if you have then you're in. Damn those misinformants. Fortunately, there's going to be another one coming in mid-October so I should be able to make the deadline for applications to be admitted into the first semester of 2006. Provided I don't screw up my results.
Got to return to the books now. This ranting just took some wind out of me and I'm barely under my neck in practice papers and pirated books. See you in seven. Or less.
