Moleskine!  
I have a moleskine now!!! WOOHOOO! It's a 12-month Weekly Horizontal Soft Cover planner and it's perfect. (A 18-month planner would work too haha, just so I could start using it right now) I bought it at Fully Booked the other day, after meeting up with Pia and Nikki to do some LoL-ing. It's P1099. It's sad that I didn't wait any longer though. There was a 10% discount for all moleskines at Bestseller yesterday. -___-

It's now neatly tucked between my college apps plastic envelope and the Twister box. So excited.

Speaking of college apps (my favorite topic, obviously), I was googling stuff about NUS and SATs and apparently 2150+ on SAT Reasoning and 780+ on Subject tests would be the highly recommended scores for NUS. :( Considering that I was already freaking out over the '2100 would be minimally sufficient for a competitive application' note I found in the prospectus, this has made me all sorts of worried. I NEED THAT 800 ON MATH II MORE THAN EVER. (Boo Barron's. :|)

I still don't know how to fill up the application. I'm considering asking some Pinoys at NUS for some advice. -__-

Where I finally vent my frustrations about NUS and SATs  
Oh god. I really hope my score of 2110 in my SATs would be enough for NUS. I've googled it manically for the past few days and according to a lot of boards and the official nus 0910 prospectus, 2100 would be a good score and is considered 'minimally sufficient for a competitive application'. Well, I HATE being in this insecure position of not knowing whether you're good enough or not. Guuhhhh, being borderline is so risky. -__- Though I eerily appreciate that Math II is compulsory (seeing as I've been recognized for being good in math), I've been skimming through Barron's How To and it's so freakin' hard. Half the topics in the diagnostic test I have no clue about. Oh functions. I need to 800 my Math II. :(

God, if you're listening, you probably noticed by now that I have diligently prayed for my acceptance into NUS or NTU or any awesome university for the past 3 months. I have shamelessly factored my college application into many decisions regarding joining extra-curricular activities only to find out that the one school I desperately (I am considering sending a huge package containing awards, Pauliworld contest issue and other materials just to impress adcomm) want to get into is merit-based. I believe this is what most people call karma.

Please oh please oh please.

I feel like I'm 8 again. Except it's not Barbie dolls I'm crying for, it's non-rejection to the place I really feel like I should be.
