Cousin got an offer from LSE :D

Happy for her but still quite jealous, hahaha. Oh well, she has always been better than me in more ways than one and she deserves it. I actually heard that her dad doesn't want her to go to LSE (lol?) because it doesn't have a proper campus. Well, my parents will definitely NOT do that if I was the one who got the offer.

Well, that reminds me. When I told my mum the news, she started going on about how my cousin is so good. Then I started to get bitter because all this while, my mum has always been using my cousin to pressure me to work harder and stuff, blah blah blah. Then, as I thought more about it, I actually realised that the idea of me getting into LSE wasn't actually mine, but my mum's. I didn't realise it, but I was actually working towards my mum's dreams for me and not mine. I was just attracted to the idea of living in London and not the university. No wonder I didn't feel much when I received news of the rejection. Guess it's time for me to stop living my parents dreams huh?

I'm currently trying to decide on which university to put as my firm choice on UCAS. Bath or Warwick? Honestly, I'm leaning more towards Bath but my dad clearly wants me to go to Warwick. But the thing is that the requirements for both universities are so similar that I'm scared if I choose both as my and insurance choice, I might end up not qualifying for both. Well, hopefully that will not happen but who knows?

2 papers down the road in trials and I didn't think that I did as well as I would've liked in both papers. Just means that I have more work to do. I'm looking forward to the 3 month break after A Levels. But I don't want to let go of college life so fast either. Time just flies way too fast. Sigh.

Failure again? *smile*

Heyyo!!! Just realised that I haven't updated my blog in a long time. And also, my application just got rejected by the famous LSE.

To be honest, I wasn't that affected by the result because I expected it. I mean, it would be awesome to be accepted into LSE but LSE is the best and I have never been lucky with the best stuff. And another I realised, I always fall short whenever I really want something. So depressing isn't it?

The news just got me thinking back on why I had wanted to get into LSE in the first place. The reason is basically that I wanted my backup plan to be the best ever. The second reason is basically because I wanted to live in London. I've been to London and I thought it was a great place. It's easy to get around, Broadway, etc.  But, well, it wasn't meant to be but I still have the second best choice. :)

Well, I still cannot see a future with me being an accountant. That is why I have never definitely told my parents or anybody else that I will become one. Hopefully in the UK I'll get the chance to chase my dreams and maybe even make it come true. Hopefully.

Anyway, now I'm focusing alot on my studies. I'm studying harder than I have ever studied in the past. I think it's because there's so little preparation time. Trials are in a few weeks time and finals are in May. I need to do my best to make sure my place in Warwick doesn't fly away like my chance to study at LSE.

I've been focusing so much on my studies that I haven't done the video that I wanted to do. I did say in the description of my previous video that I will put up a video. But I just couldn't find the time to do it. Studies have taken over so much of life that I don't even have time for music. I haven't written a full song in the past few months, it's been months since I touched my guitar and even longer since I played the piano.

I guess I just gotta soldier on until A2 is over. Then I'll get a well deserved break. Till next time. Bye.
