#453:
Guess what happened on Tues less than 5 hours after my NTU Linguistics interview.
When I saw the gmail notification from my phone and read the email subject "NTU application outcome" I was like HAAH?! I even thought that maybe I was so bad that they rejected me right away holy crap.
And then 2 days later:
I actually didn't apply for any scholarship when I submitted my application but then they told me I was eligible so I had to write a short essay (on 'my values and beliefs'...) for it which I suck at gosh.
...I'm sorry but it all just feels too easy. Maybe because NTU's Linguistics department is still pretty new. (its 7th year if I'm not wrong)
According to a friend all departments are allocated the same number of college scholarships hence it's easier to get it in a smaller department...?
No idea if that's really true though I'm quite skeptical...
Anyway. I'm still not 101% sure I really want to do linguistics for university so I'll probably do some exploring till the deadline for accepting.
Still no news from NUS. NTU is like scarily fast compared to NUS LOL.

Just went for an interview for NTU's Linguistic course... I guess it went well?The prof interviewing me said I had good grades and I just went "umm okay it's not that good in my school though but yeah" in my head hahaha.
I'm not actually sure if I do really want to do Linguistics in NTU... ><
I'm pretty keen on NTU's Linguistics course, but at the same time I also really want NUS' Jap Studies course e.e
It's like what I really want to do, I can't do very well... (music/visual design)
I can't go without listening to music everyday HAHA.
And then there's also Japanese and psychology which I ALSO want to do :((
I really can't decide. I think I'll end up just choosing the course which is the most difficult to do self-study umm.
Hopefully NUS accepts me so I can do Jap Studies + Psychology... Jap Studies said they have Jap linguistics modules too...
Also, retook the MBTI personality test recently.
I didn't actually look up much on my personality type in the past, but this time I did and omg everything makes more sense now.
I feel like I /finally/ understand myself a little better.
INFJ is apparently the rarest personality type hmm. :O
Also discovered something called the Highly Sensitive Person which I probably am too LOL.
Explains why I always feel overwhelmed :/
INFJ and left-hander... I feel so... special?? HAHA.
Definitely gonna read up more on INFJ.
The other day I had to call up Satamiya Inn in Japan to book rooms IN JAPANESE and another achievement unlocked HAHA.
I haven't been doing Japanese self-study for like 6 months oops.
It's where I stayed during my Nanao exchange program so I sort of know the owner hahaha.
He was all "ohh maybe I'll recognise you if I see your face!" xD
Really can't wait for Japan. And hopefully it goes smoothly lol.
Also planning your own itinerary is such a pain.
