exchange...

Read my uni email today and to my dismay, i need to make some changes to my exchange plans. I must have really wished to go for a year as i've overlooked 3 important words - Semester long exchange. (How could i have missed that?!) I'm pretty certain my prof din know about that cuz he has approved my subject plan. Unfortunately, the lecturer in charged in london seemed pretty strict about it. He told me to reconsider my plan cuz it's unlikely they would accept any one opting for year long exchange.

Spent the afternoon searching for other uni(s) but to no avail. i've found some but the subjects they offer are not a good fit to mine. In the midst of my exams... nah.. i dun think it's the best thing to do. but i'm leaving immediately after my exams. so i have to do it now or never! argh. and it's really not easy to find a good fit cuz i have to agree its quite a weird combination unlike commerce...



choices:

1. I can simply submit the year long study plan with a high chance of rejection. either i get it my way or nothing at all.

2. To compromise. I change my subject plan so that it'll fit a semester even thou i dont like those subjects. if i'm accepted, I'll have the chance to spend the summer term there. I prefer having the fall semester but i cant get everything i want, can i? if rejected, i'll stay in melbourne.

3. Go thru all the hassle of looking for a uni and meeting my prof to get approval within A WEEK! and risking my exams which will determine if i can qualify for the exchange programme.

No matter what the final decision will be, One thing for sure, i'll submit it before i leave for Singapore.

Om shanti Om

Initially, I was hestitant to watch 'Om Shanti Om' a hindi movie starring Shah Rukh Khan (SRK). But i'm glad i did. The 2 1/2 hour long movie proved to be pretty good... and lotsa good looking people. When Deepika Padukone started dancing, angela and i were captivated by her pretty face and body - she's tall (she's 1.75m), slim, busty and has nice legs. *awww... isn't she lucky? and, according to my housemate, it's the first time SRK appeared topless on screen. and for someone who is 42, his abs were pretty amazing... for the first half of the show, he seemed to have aged a lot but fortunately, he looked so much better in the second half. In addition, it had catchy music and the dance scenes were pretty good. as in, there were no lame dancers jumping from behind trees or rocks or watever... everything was well choreographed and it din feel like 2 1/2 hours at all. anywayz, after the movie, i decided to own a copy of the dvd/vcd if it has english subtitles. Yup, that will be my first hindi movie.

There are a few other Hindi movies which my housemate has kindly recommended and I thought they are pretty good too. But most of them, like Korean movies, were pretty saddening. if u are into crying, you can try watching Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. If you are into something more light hearted, maybe Hum Tum will be more suitable.

third paper.

i cant decide if i'm scared or smiley after the paper. I'm scared cuz i din manage to finish my paper and answered a 14marks question in point form! additionally, i din really finish the rest of the questions. And I'm scared cuz this is the only subject i've spent so much time preparing and naturally i had (and despite not finishing the paper, i still have) expectations... and i was happy becuz.. eh... only because i've completed another paper (i think).

o wellz. jus hoping and praying, hoping and praying... that it will all turn out well.. :)

exams.

I think... I screwed up my paper today. It was a 3 hours paper. I did all i can and i walked out of the exam hall... smiling. okie. i know this will sound weird cuz normal people will smile only when they are confident about the paper. On the CONTRARY, if i feel normal or smiley after a paper means it's not good. weird isn't it? let me explain... i'll be smiling cuz i know i've given all i could for the paper. there is nothing i've known and not written down. Not that i know how to answer every question or very confident with the answers. All I can say is "I did my best and there's nothing i could do to make it any better". But if i were to walk out of the examination hall looking worried, it MAYBE because i've studied very hard for the paper and I would like to think that i've answered most of the questions correctly. Or it maybe cuz i know the answers but have no time to write them down. Hence, the stressfulness... but of cuz... there're exceptions...

As ridiculous as it may sound, i really hope i can ace today's paper cuz it's imperative in deciding the acceptance for my exchange programme...

bleah.
