went for the NUS open house today..rather reluctantly. as expected, i learned virtually nothing from it. the talks were pretty general, and the brochures offered by the various departments at the exhibition were equally vague. what irked me was the staff on duty..they couldn't even provide decent answers to our questions -_-'. bah. the only good thing that happened was getting hold of the University Scholars' Programme application form. then again, you can apply online..so, my trip was rather redundant, right? basically you can apply for the programme in either one of two categories, excellent academic record (me? excellent? -_-') or outstanding singular talent (which i doubt i have). and you have to write an essay-cum-personal statement, which forms the basis of selection. if shortlisted, you have to go for an interview, and after that the panel will decide whther to admit you into the programme. i hope i can get it though..i see this as an opportunity to escape the dullness of university life. imagine reading first-tier and advanced modules for my major that those not in the program won't get access to, and going overseas for fieldtrips and immersion projects..sounds pretty interesting. oh, and it seems the faculty of science offers a double degree programme..and i'm still clueless of the admission criteria. bah..application to university is so damn cumbersome.

that aside, did i mention POP is in 3 weeks? and my examination is in 9 days? bah..there's a multitude of things i need to sort out right now.
