and so im rejecting p3nn for b3rkeley
i hope i dont come to regret the decision but i'll make the best of what i've got at ucb i guess
dad, for some reason, loves the school and the scholarship offer doesnt hurt too
hey, ivies dont stand for everything right?
but damn would i have loved to go up to the east coast
argh. dad holds the purse strings though so no-go. he was rlly quite adamant that i not go to p3nn which he's nvr heard of. plus the UCs are rlly popular in indo. "what p3nn! i've only heard of h@rv@rd, st@nford, etc" sorry lah, didnt make it past interview round. i need to brush up on my interviewing skills
and he told my grandma p3nnsylvania (the town) was "xiang xia" haha
then she kept scolding me and asking me why i wanted to go :(
3 months ago i was sniggering at someone who gave up p3nn for b3rkeley to be with his gf
now im doing the same thing, albeit for different reasons :( oh well
san francisco's nice i guess. they have good indo food there
anyways, my grandma's being quite sweet cos she's coming with me to sf to help me settle in
and my room's been a pigsty for a week and she hasn't said anything yet
maybe it's the prospect of not seeing me for the next year that's lifting her spirits haha
