it would be better if i had more time. time is such an awful barrier on many matters. time and circumstance. the future honestly looks so damn bleak from where im at now: with no leads for goign overseas im pretty much feeling lost here. the two local Us present very different incentives: right now i have to make up my mind where im going before 5pm. smu's given me their top scholarship, which guarantees three overseas trips and attachments to the arts scene and such; on the other hand nus [mr nano notwithstanding] has offered me usp. practically speaking, it is intuitive that i accept the former without even thinking: business is way more marketable than history and lit; and it also opens up a lot more gateways for contacts in the relevant areas. [and also crucial exposure, since i want to work in the arts scene] on the other hand though, the interviews dont give me a very favourable impression of the students, though they may have been projecting a certain image in line with the context-- that is, the interview. the way my mom paints nus does argue towards me accepting smu- but this is such a marginal decision: i ahvent got enough information about anything to be able to make an informed choice- the way i should have applied to the us last sept and regret it like hell now.

maybe i will just accept it, and see what comes my way. hopefully the moe [which is my last beacon of hope for going overseas] will bail me out of this.
