Hong Kong Here I Come

Finally received the acceptance letter from CUHK this evening. Josh received his too. After lots of paperwork and months of waiting, the confirmation has finally arrived!!

I wouldn't say I am like super overjoyed about it, as I guess the long waiting kinda took some of the excitement out of it. But nonetheless, now that its confirmed, I'm thrilled and anxious about this rare opportunity. At the start of the last semester, apart from wanting to survive the semester, I set targets on going beyond just surviving the normal school semester. I set sights on an internship experience, and of course, an overseas exchange experience. I've gotten my internship, and now, SEP! One final thing which I am still crossing my fingers for, which would cap off a very fine academic year 07/08 for me.

Although with this confirmation, I just realised some pros and cons. I realised that:-

• I wouldn't have to sit for an NUS exam for almost 10 months!
• I would actually be an honours student in my next NUS academic semester! Thats fast!
• I would need a crash course to learn canto.
• There are more forms to fill up, together with the hassle of module mapping.
• I will not be able to take an important core NM module, which may hinder my option of doing a thesis, which I may look to do if I really do end up in the civil sector

Oh well, I'll work out the cons. The important thing now, Hong Kong!!!!
