Getting into the major of choice is a really big thing for me. Not in a my-life-is-gonna-change way (okay maybe a little) but in a way that says, I've finally done something I can be proud of and I know it's because I worked hard for it. For the ADM kids who actually want to get into VisCom, we live life treading on tall grass. You don't know when you will step on a pile of shit and end up where you hate most, you don't know when you will step into a big hole or puddle and because of one stupid assignment that pulled you down you end up in a shitty place, you don't know whether attaining that godly GPA will even get you in. VisCom is like THE hottest major out of the 6 and is the only one with a quota that always hits. Only 40 people can get in and you also have to score particularly well in a certain core module to be able to get in.
I did not have a bad GPA nor did I score below average for that particular module, but I was still scared because, well, I am the appeal queen. I haven't gotten something I want on the first try. From choosing a secondary school, to choosing the stream in sec 3 to not failing year 5 to getting into uni. And I heard there was A LOT of competition. I was not from design in poly and nor did I take art in sec/JC. Do you understand my anxiety??
This was a huge thing for me, I was really happy. But I know, it isn't something worth so much attention. I did not want to go around telling people. Only to those whom cared last time when I talked about it to them. Also, I would have shrugged it off and try to convince myself that it doesn't really matter if I did not get it in the first place.
But one thing I am really thankful for are the people who congratulated me and Yiting also asked me out to celebrate it!! YAYYYY I feel blessed that people care. (I explained to my parents that I got my major and they are confused. They thought it was bidding for a fucking mod.) Thank you to everyone and thanks yiting for eating with me. (sorry for bad pun it was definitely intentional)
PS: I know maybe it's not a "thing" for some but I feel touched if people bother to read my posts. I don't like to talk about stuff in real life to a lot of people, it's hard to break into the mood and honestly, most people don't like listening to my voice. Writing is my best form of expressing myself (though I know I can't write very eloquently) and I actually feel like people respect me as a person if they bother to read? I don't say it but when I tell people that I posted something on my blog and they just reply with "oh i don't read blogs anymore" it feels insulting. Respect people's way of expression please. And it has the "it's too childish im better than that" tone which I hate. But really, my writings are the only place you can look to to know or understand me. Goodbye.
