It's cold, gloomy and rainy... with the melody of Jay Chou's emotional track "Jie Kou" for company, I'm sitting in my cosy little room trying to "pen" down my very first journal entry. It'll probably end up being a really boring entry, but do read on, I'm trying my best. I promise.
I went for an interview today - for the Global Immersion Programme, with the hope of making it to study at Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta for a whole semester this coming Jan 2005. It wasn't the best experience.
Firstly, the weather. Not only were the dark skies dampening to my spirits, the heavy downpour didn't help me the least bit. Arrived at the International House looking like some dodo - all wet and messed up (my dear friend, Evon, offered to come along with me to give me support, but ended up in an equally sorry state as me. Stupid rain. Sorry Evon.)
Secondly, we couldn't find the toilet at that bungalow-like place (which looks really nice by the way). Thirdly, my interview didn't go as well as I'd have liked - my vice dean was present and he was shooting loads of questions I felt weren't quite relavant. Plus he was rather negative about the whole issue - he seemed to NOT encourage bio science students to go for this programme. Thus, he challenged almost every answer I gave. Well, que sera sera... hopefully I'll still be able to make it through.
After the interview, Evon and I headed back to SBS for our tutorial which was supposed to start at 3.30pm. So we had about 35 min to kill and we headed to the resource room, met up with Grace and Audrey and started our happy little conversation. At 3.30pm, we walked out of the resource room, and to our mock horror, a whole stream of Yr 2 students (incl. our tutorial mates) were exiting the lecture theatre.
One of our classmates said "You all didn't go for the tutorial? They combined the tutorial so that we can start early at 2.30pm." Stunned. None of us knew about the last minute change. No one informed us. Then all of a sudden, the whole thing seemed really funny. A classmate had once commented that the 4 of us always seem to be in a world of our own. I guess he was right.
