it's every woman's role to guard her chastity, and every man's job to coax her to surrender it

i'm feeling very much like the man in the quote.

Universities are as paranoid about accepting new applicants as the average virgin, intent on safeguarding her "innocence" from being entered by the wrong man. The same rule applies, they screen you, they monitor if you're worthy, and put you through a series of grueling tests and obstacles; just to decide to let you in.

Ah yes, apart from studies (which my dear friend CK points out on my behalf) i have been engulfed in university applications as it is that time of the year again. I never really thought about how universities picked undergrads in the past, but now that i'm experiencing it first hand : it's absolutely catastrophic.

First there is the insane application fee every university seems to be enjoying to impose so much. I guess I can understand this purpose (to clear off people who are just applying for fun without keen interest) but some Unis in the UK are really asking a LOT.

details unnecessary.

and then, there's the ever popular personal statement. your one chance to sell yourself in about 4000 characters to show how you are academically competent to be enrolled.

i can write just about anything. but writing about myself seems to be painful. i don't know why.

isn't it just like sex? with the acceptance an imagery of an orgasm?

haha.

JAL! i completely agree with your POV. cremating is a total waste of biological chemicals that make up essential organs that can only occur in nature. I don't understand why people do not offer to donate their organs upon death or to a medical school for close study.

it's like the body isn't YOU anymore. it's a cask of chemicals, naturally bonded and decaying now that you're gone. ESPECIALLY CREMATING. you're just turning all that useful amino acids, muscles and ORGANS (especially organs) into compounds of carbons and nitrogen. COMPLETE WASTE~

so two and a half men urges all of you to donate organs upon death. TQVRM. you do whatever you want with the rest (hhaa so insensitive leh)

i miss you guys loads. i hope when all this madness has passed, we could pick up from where we left off.

ciao. xoxo

BTW CK i might wanna attend LOUD.
