For the title of the post, I'm kinda pissed at the person who repeated crap from the book to us every year and it got stuck in my head. WTH, it took away my interest in that book. See, you can never do something too many times.
For those of you dying to know if I'm going to Poly or JC, and won't stop bugging me for answers, and irritating the hell out of me when I say "I don't know", yes Shawn?
After yesterday's wonderfully superb poly trip, complete with immersion program with the course of our choice, I can see where I definitely wanna be. Wait for it ... hold your breath ...
I have chosen to want to see myself in
Singapore Poly, Applied Drama with Pyschology! -squeals- Of course I keep my choices open, but this is really where I want to be in 2009.
Why not JC? Well, I don't wish to overwork myself, since I seriously doubt my ability to be consistently buried under a book and get so many things done. Secondary School has perhaps taught me that maybe I'm not cut out for JC after all. I really can't stand the thought of having the life of the current JC student, plus with CCA, and 3 times the work. Then not knowing where to go. What if I don't do well? Plus, you don't know how credible JCs can be, about student welfare that is. Anyway, to whatever protest you might have, I'm sorry I can't listen to you anymore. Whatever you're gonna say I've already thought of it. So there. But I'll definitely be K.I.V-ing JC tertiary.
Poly. Hmm, nobody said it was gonna be more relaxed or anything. I'm very clear if that, so I'm not going there to slack. If I have to be up to my neck with work, I'd rather it be something that I enjoy. Or not detest so much.
Applied Drama with Pyschology. Gosh, the very name screams "Thank you God for answering to my prayers in Sec 2!". When we started thinking of the future in Sec 2 streaming, I seriously didn't think there was anything for me. And POOF! (: If you want something enough, it will come to you?
This logic is flawed, but hey it worked this time.
I mean, I can do lots of other courses but this one is
completely suitable.
Ability + Interest + Realism. Come on, you guys know me well enough how DADP is catered to
weird people like me, very self-explanatory. Filled up all 3 in the equation, of course I'll have to let my O's do the talking.
Therefore, I shall work my ass off to be their 09' student. Then I'll probably work my ass off again, looking at the amount of work they have. COP 12, English B4 and above (hehe no problem), pass every subject, especially Math (Okay... can try). Plus the
aptitude. With relevant experience. Oh and who knew that I'd meet someone with the same ideals as Sharon. And even better both of them didn't understand my English. I mean aptitude, and they thought it was
attitude. Very cute, and to think both of you wanna strike it rich and never depend on a guy for money. Gosh, the both of you
telekinetic or something? Creepy la ..
Hmm we all have different things to think about at every point in our lives. The Sec3s gotta think of taking over the reins of CCA whether they like it or not. Sec4s a lot of other things that now seem more important than the worries in Sec3 and Sec2.
After going for the immersion program, it dawned upon me that there are actually many other worthy candidates of the same course. :p Feel like a small fry as compared to them. All rather intelligent and confident actually. Oh this means I'm not? - GASPS- Okay so competition is stiff. And till now I don't get why Mass Comm is so popular. It's really just glamourous on the outside. At least I wasn't so interested during the immersion programme. Plus, OMG I MET STEPHANIEK'S COUSIN WENDY! -squeals- Oh by the way she says hi to Stephk. She's a wonderful personality (like all the students of DADP) and probably a nice lecturer. She pulled me aside to talk to me about StephK. Aren't you jealous Shawn? HEHEHE.
Plus, the people-in-charge seem really nice too, the pyschologist is kinda scary though. She has the sharp "educator's eye". If you know what I mean. Like when Mrs Aidil glares at you. She has this silent authority or something.
I really have to up my confidence by the end of Sec4. Well I do want this enough. I'm very much impressed with SP already (including the facilities), even if it's a lot older than other Polytechnics. It's got everything I want to study. Even though the Communications, Arts and Social Sciences are way on top of a hill where you have to do hiking to get to the top. Ah well, this means you'll never have to go on diets that never work.
An art and a science combined, how cool can this get?! Anyway, I was on a sugar high for the better 3/4 of the whole day. Plus the string of musical rehearsals have made me used to standing up. We all know what happens when we sit down. "OI MAIN CAST YOUR LINES!" oh well, never a break for us.
Anyways, it's nice to have Huiyi going for the same course. (: Who knows we might be in the same course or something. Just wish Mythili could've been there. Sharon's reconsidering, Hafizah is considering
(you like bacteria don't you? Well guess what the lady of Life Sciences that we talked to created her own bacteria on my face. Her saliva coated at least 3 parts of my face. Why do you think I was discreetly rubbing my face at some point of time?) and Sisi wants to be in a marine uniform. That I leave it to you to have your own reaction, though I think it's impulsive.
Even though Ngee Ann receives the most publicity, then Republic Poly, still think SP's the strongest choice. Oh well, you see my biasedness.
(some of us feel the same way actually)Don't get confused by the terms (: (References from Dictionary.com)Aptitude (noun):
