a certain ivy league university
They're just gross. First they expect us to call them up to register our interest in enrolling and assure them that they're our first choice. I wasted good money and time calling them from Starbucks only to speak to..who? A masters student, posing some pre-prepared questions (so are we your first choice?) I thought that was quite unprofessional. And then - when the official decision letter finally came (online, no mail even) it was three days before the deadline. I missed the deadline of course, and requested for an extension, which I was granted. No specific time was given, so I assumed it was 2359 New York time. But nope, when I logged on at 6:50pm NY time I learned that the deadline had passed.
Way to go for a university that has been suffering some pretty high rejection rates of late. I can just picture them scratching their heads wondering why..

Year 3
My ideal Year 3 as I pictured it would never have materialised. No way.
Things weren't at all what they seemed, not for a single moment in the past year. But none of it was in my control. It's not my fault things turned out this way.
When I got on that plane bound for London, I already knew that things weren't going to be how I planned it. A new chapter had begun the moment I returned to Singapore. I just didn't realise it.
It's only a month and 13 days into the new year though. You could say that's a month wasted-but hell there's still 8 months to go, best make full use of it.
back in the playground
11 months and 22 days of lies.
It's a new day.
I'm back. Time to redefine myself.
