Yup, it is 3.33am and I'm almost done setting up my new blog.
Will post the new link here soon (meaning sometime tomorrow), so stay tuned. (: |

satisfiedBusy, busy, busy, busy...... I just want to take this opportunity to thank Richmond Yau (...Jia Chng? What's his Chinese name again? D:) for introducing me to pinkpau's blog and her recent posts on applying to the US because she's helped SO MUCH. Looking through some of her posts (I'd always heard of her but never actually bothered to go read her blog, much the same way as I am with Xiaxue) I had the sneaking suspicion that this girl might be more similar to me than I'd have originally thought...and hey, I was right. (: I never show my personal writing to anyone, even if it's for something dreadfully important or lifechanging - like my application essays last year, or my own ramblings, or the short stories I used to write in secondary school - and I probably wouldn't have decided to get my essay this year proofread if pinkpau (or maybe I should say Su Ann, yeah, we have similar names as well) hadn't mentioned the exact same thing in her blog:
So I stepped out of my comfort zone and sent my essay (written after changing topics at least twice, and discarding tons of well-written but not flow-suitable paragraphs) to a varied bunch of people for proofreading. (: The Lit bunch who are in the UK now, Malaysians who've moved to the US, Singaporeans, Bulgarians, my ex-editor...Yes, Su Ann was one of them, and she basically told me what I had suspected, that we're very similar people. Apparently she wrote on almost the exact same thing for her own Columbia essay. I also plucked up the courage to send it to my Cornell interviewer from last year (Chen Chow, who's really active in the Malaysian youth scene) and now we're going to be going for dinner next week! (: It turns out Chen Chow and Su Ann are writing a book on US apps together, so I guess the Malaysian US application scene is a crazy small world. I really hope more Malaysian students open their eyes to the US education scene in the years to come, because ask any employer right now, and they'll tell you what the few of us already know: the UK is going all the way down, Australia is coming up, and the US is the place to be. Needless to say, the US is still my top choice despite all the trauma it gave me last year, but I am still really fine with the idea of going to Sydney. (: I'm basically trying not to get my hopes up (which is what I keep saying, but I'm such a horrible liar - either that, or I'm in extreme denial). Whatever happens, I'll be okay as long as I'm at a university that's right for me - it's time to grow up, Lynn, and embrace failure, and move on. (: Easier said than done, right? But hey, we've all got to start somewhere. EDIT: I don't get it. Why is my blog a hotspot for porn ads? |
