I've made up my mind.

I'M GOING TO PLANNING! Who knows where it will bring me, who knows what will happen... but that's the reason why I chose it. I'll be needing a lot of emotional support...

Good luck everyone and congratulations on finishing another school year! AND surviving Friday the 13th!



In my 36 hours without sleep marathon filled with confusion and anxiety, I took a break and went to see COLDPLAY! It was brilliant. So vibin! Had lots of fun it was absolutely awesome. When they played Yellow I was like ..... oooooommmmmmgggggggggggggg.........

Anyway :) good day to you all.

A piece of random advice: Take things one day at a time. Heavenly Hash icecream is awesome.

Wow. I'm way past my deadline for DECIDING where to go. ugh...

I think I am leaning towards Ry... but then again it's not like I know enough to know if i like or dislike planning. According to Christine, it's not as blah as it sounds when u go there and see the facilities with the computer lab and the model building and stuff. I don't know about the content tho, cuz a lot of stuff DOESN'T need facilities. I know its a good program, its just a matter of if I'll like it or not. Aiya...

I'm writing this in World Issues, with Poksee here beside me... Taylor's not here today and we don't feel like working. Who feels like working nowadays anyway? Exams are coming and I'm completely oblivious to it. There's been too much worrying.

okokok.. i talked to my cousin, who just gradded from architecture ryerson this year. She says that the interior design program is good, and she says I can't worry about the money. Of course she's the kind who doesn't care how much she makes (obviously i am... moral or not). But I do believe her in the sense that you have to like it, and even if you do she says you'll still wonder why you didn't pick the other one. That's just the way it is. Anyway that doesn't help me. She did tell me tho, that her friend who's out of interior design now makes low 30,000.. that's coming out, which is much more than I thought. According to my arguements before, that should solve my concerns and "barriers" from me going there. I wonder if that's true or if she just got lucky. Seriously if i don't make 40,000 in 10 years of work I'd be pretty pissed off...

OK, poksee just said that's 40,000 is BAD. actuaries come out making that much. Damn i feel like i'm destined to be poor... i sense it... BOO!!!

Yeah, 40,000 is pretty bad if u're just surviving on your own.. or not.. i don't know, i dont' know about this stuff. its decent but i think i have the potential to do much better.

i think i'll go do other stuff now :"(
too bad i didn't think of money when i as applying ot universities... now i'm stuck with low paying choices...

BUT EITHER WAY, IN INTERIOR DESIGN OR PLANNING I HAVE A FEW CONNECTIONS... IF I'M DECENT I COULD PROBABLY GET MYSELF HOOKED UP WITH A JOB IN CALIFORNIA... but whether i'll get there is a completely different story and very very far off...

awwwwwwww i was so looking forward to co-op travelling and exchange to england and living at rez... if i go to planning but i'm so unsure about planning and i basically have today to decide i don't think i'll end up picking it.........

sharon thinks (she didn't tell me but i know).. actually no nevermind. sharon says 'i think u already made up your mind, just accept it and move on!!!'

whatever sharon. i dot'n know.

I'm screwed.

I didn't get into waterloo architecture--no surprise.
What surprised me was that they offered me Planning, with CO-OP!

Now I know, I was all hyped up about the moeny last post, and made up my mind that I would go to Planning instead of Interior Design given the opportunity. But now that it's come true, I'm thinking much harder.

Will it be the "passion"? or the money?

>.<

wow its sooo nice outside these days, i'd prefer this weather over full blown summer hotness anyday! walks around the neighborhood are the wickedest, eh?

i've been thinking. if waterloo rejects me for architecture and offers me planning--I'M GOING TO TAKE IT. i hope they're offering planning.. they did every year but they're not sure about this year cuz of the double cohort.

oh and updates about who took me and who didn't:
1st choice--Waterloo Architecture:
--obviously still waiting, extremely anxiously... especially now that Acca's going there and if i got into Architecture our study/work terms match perfectly! aaaah... >.<
2nd choice--Ryerson Interior Design:
--accepted offer already :) good scholarship too. AND katie from a/g class is going there too so i'll have a friend if i end up going
3rd choice--OCAD Industrial Design
---rejected!! without any other offers at that! so stupid i hate ocad they're missing out and they're so friggin rude and blah. i didn't wanna get in there anyway. BOO! no, really i don't care. and yeah, terence did tell me ocad was up to no good.
4th choice--UT Civil Engineering:
--got accepted today, with scholarship amounts that don't add up. whatever, i'm not going no matter how tong much tries to persuade me!
