Holidays!
Whew! School's out for the year! I can't believe that it's going to be 2010 soon... I feel old...
Been so insanely busy the past few weeks I haven't been able to be on LJ much so I've missed a lot of Hetalia stuff. Am catching up on the episodes now and squeeing over all the FrUK! And since I'm going off to HK tomorrow, I may also be able to access Facebook and finally see photos of my niece!
See Ting came to Shanghai recently but I was just too busy to meet her since I was spending night after night typing out Chemistry reports, Economics Internal Assessments, Math reports, English essays and preparing for a Chinese debate. And on top of that, I was also freaking out about University applications.
I've got universities from 4 countries in mind, UK, Singapore, HK and Australia. For the UK I'm aiming for really tough ones like LSE and University of Manchester. I'll need at least 36 out of 45 and all 6's in Higher Level subjects (in my case, English, Economics and Physics) to get in. It sucks that my first round of predicted grades showed a 5 for economics...
But UK always was an unrealistically optimistic aim anyway. NUS is a more likely ending for me though I hope that even if I'm not good enough for the UK I'll be good enough for HKU. When we go to HK we'll be going to HKU to see the campus and all that jazz. I wonder what it'll be like?
Well, I shan't be able to worry much for the next few days. Mom has the trip all planned out and I fear that we may have to shop till we drop. I hope I survive this! Wish me luck!
