joining the MaFiA

haha i had my final interview with MFA today. hope all goes well...fingers crossed.
wasn't too bad, but i dunno if i did well or not either. i'm insecure like that, so i don't want to think about it too much. i just hope that everything will work out well for me.

i am super buzzed right now. had a couple of drinks at the guild house after spending about 4 hours working on my thesis before dinner. it's shaping up and i'm looking forward to just sitting down and putting it entirely down on paper. the plans are looking alright, and i just have to make sure i am diligent, and hardworking and that i do not waste these precious last few days. sigh.

i got selected for the kofi annan lecture at nus this friday. funny thing is, i don't even remember signing up! i just got an email saying thank you for "expressing interest", and that i was successful in my "bid" (apparently) for signing up for the talk and that i have to bring along the invite (plus the carpark label) to the talk! weird huh?!
my friend thinks that it's because nus didn't publicise the talk well enough (which is probably true because i knew jack shit about it until two days ago, and at the very last minute, had to "conscript" pathetic undergrads so that the turnout looks presentable and the auditorium is filled)... such a pity though, because if they had advertised and publicised well, i so totally would have signed up. i mean, it's kofi! the ex-secretary general of the UN! like wtf rigghhhht.

excuse this post if it's full of spelling errors. i'm a little buzzed (as i have mentioned previously) because of drinks at the guild house.

did i mention i am going to the states in may? the tickets have been booked for SF on the 15th of may and we'll be spending a month there! how exciting times will be! my grad trip is going to be OSSSSIM! can't wait ;)

graduating, finding a job, going on a grad trip....everything seems so scary and new and different. and my life feels like it's going to change alot and i'm just trying to prepare myself for it because i honestly don't know what it's gonna be like once i exit nus. sigh.
getting into nus was a milestone in itself, now that i'm leaving, i feel like i need to spend another year there. i miss the school, and i regret not making more friends in my 4 years there. although, to be fair, i've made some of the bestest friends i could've made in my four years here. and i'm grateful. these people have made school so much more bearable..and fun.
and i'm glad that i got the chance to get to know them!

i am tired. and i am extremely, entirely sleepy. i guess i shall have to go off now. better posts next time!
