yesterday's post was a preview of what happened today.
yes, i went to sign that d_mn thing.
as some (i don't know who exactly, but seems like quite a handful) might know, i got the j_c scholarship (ok don't ask me why i apply now and blah blah)
and anyway today was the 'sign-your-two-years-away' day. it's a tea reception which parents and sureties are invited to..with some talking..some coporate video..some sharing sessions
and to my pleasant surprise (ok not exactly pleasant and shldn't have been a surprise in the first place), i was joined by 2 young sweet 'a' level grad girls. and to my horror, the whole sharing session was "how to cope with life in US/UK" wow..how relevant. (just to give you a glimpse of the content: you must bring a rice cooker; an eraser can be as expensive as a shirt; skype IS the cheapest; learn to cook you must learn to cook; rail is fastest; air fares by budget carriers are dirt cheap; buy the latest laptop here bring it over and make the outdated brits jealous; and hell lot more..and i wonder why i remember all these!)

as one of the sharing scholar(ly) guys correctly pointed out ("i guess it's you [pointing to sweet girl A] and you [pointing to sweet girl B] going over to England right?....ya guess can clearly see the age *sniggers*[referring to the 3rd OLD bored and uninterested person].."), i was [1] the only mid term aka old person, [2] the only local uni person;
and as the presentation went on to academic standards to upkeep blah blah i realised i was also [3] the least (or not at all) qualified for a s_holar_hip (it read "for undergraduate scholars, to continue masters studies, you have to obtain first class honours.."(!!!) omg...i think they have made a terrible mistake here..i am a *#$xjs^$#$! 2L person -___-)

anyway the scholar(ly) guy i referred to completed his 2nd yr in city and regional planning in cardiff and is currently back for internship..when he learnt I m actually an aki major he said 'oh, so i guess u r very good in autocad...but you should start using sketchup too' (lol..) '..ya we've to use that as well..' 'oh tt's gd tt's gd..ya then just read up more..keep reading it's good for you....'
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......
thanks. tt's a timely reminder. just before i start my dissert.
.....

ok. the whole point i guess i m trying to make is: yay i shall make history by becoming the least sc_olar(ly) s_holar ever. cheers.
