The voting for the
MIRRORs thingmajig is up for the Top 10 finalists... but I've decided after everything, not to continue running. I'm still in the running technically but since a few days ago, I've stopped reminding people to vote for me and etc. I realise what made me uncomfortable throughout some of those times is not because I felt unattractive or because I felt inferior. It was more to the fact that nobody seems to care what's in your head. All everyone wants is to know your measurements, your weight, if your make up is right, if your hair is out of place... a little bit of it is fine but when it drags on to so many weeks, there's a possibility of you getting tired of it. At the end of the day, my focus is definitely not how I look every single moment. Adrian did do me a favour and made me realise when he gave me a piece of valuable advice; "There's more to life than how you look. That's only going to get you so far." I believe that I will not regret my decision. :)
In uni news, a few more weeks until I finish my course! Then, I'll be off to do my degree. I'm excited! I got selected for a few positions so far as a Student Ambassador for this upcoming October graduation event... it's just a fancy name for 'student helper' in a way, but we get paid RM5 per hour and have to wear uncomfortable formal clothes. Also, we got results for midterms and I'm pretty pleased with my results. :D I think there's a possibility to score 4.0 GPA this sem and pull up my CGPA from 3.97 to 3.99 (I don't think they're round it up and therefore, I won't be able to finish this course with a 4.0). But at least I've tried my best. :)
The entire week was really busy but I finally got my research paper and presentation over with. My lecturer was really impressed and I'm hoping I'll be able to score relatively high marks for it. It's basically 40% of my entire course. >_< I have to do well. At the moment, most things are over. What I have left is two more presentations, one macroeconomics and one social psychology, a review on Weeds and a short film plus the baggage which comes with films. After that, finals and 3 month break!!! Whee!!!
Amanda and I have been planning to start a Classic FIlm club/society! Not now of course, we're simply too busy, but we're hoping that by the time the sem ends, we'll have time to apply for the club and then use the break we have until degree to plan and outline everything. I am more than excited about this - I love incorporating what I love into real life activities and even more, in uni life. :D
On a sadder note, it seems as though we're losing contact with each other, my old secondary school friends and I. It's sad because they were the ones closest to use in school. Some of them, yes, we do keep in touch but others don't seem to put in as much effort as the rest of us. I won't be surprised if they would be the ones we end up not talking to at all until, I don't know, 30 years later at a reunion of some sort. But it's an expected thing. It happens and we all eventually go on with our own lives.
P.S. - I'm posting this from a lecture. LOL. Lecturer's talking about abortion but have no fear, I excel at multitasking. ;)
