Well, last month I emailed them and asked them when will I know their decision. They told me by the end of February.
On the last week of February, my very itchy hands clicked on the "apply for housing" link on the site, without knowing that I have accidentally activated my housing application.
To apply for housing would cost $50, non refundable I think, and I have to do it within 10 days.
I panic la.
Because $50 is a lot of money, and I really wanted to wait and see if I got into Texas or not. If not, I would be just wasting my parents money. Not very nice now is it?
Today, I opened my status check, and this is what I saw.
Darn it. I did not get in :(
Fret not, I am not so disappointed to the point of suicide.
Before I applied I had my eye on two universities : UTexas and Colorado School of Mines.
Kautsar and I just got accepted into Colorado, so I still have a plan B.
Kinda disappointing though since Texas was my aim main, and I was so excited about going there. I put a whole lot of effort into researching infomation about the UT, and not for any other university. I even looked up what the rooms looked like and what food they serve!
I love the rooms.
I love the meal plan, I think its brilliant.
Austin is a city so I would not die of boredom.
Bian goes to one of the local churches there so it is easier for me to connect.
I also troubled my senior Bian about almost every single thing.
Sorry Bian. Thanks so much for your help though.
Plus I put in a whole lot of effort into writing my personal statement, and to complete the 3 essays that were required. All that effort. Ugh...
But I knew very well that UT was very hard to get into. A few of my seniors tried, and only one got in. So even if I did send in my application on time, there is a big chance that I might not get accepted. UT is highly sought after, and the competition is very stiff. I suppose I lost out somewhere, one way or another.
All hope is not lost though, because I still have Colorado to look forward to. I have almost the same level of enthusiasm for Colorado as I have for UT.
Plus, it snows in Colorado! Whee!!! Skiiiiiiiiii :D
Haha the cold weather is not going to be kind to me and my very thin layer of skin :(
I get cold VERY easily...
Heck it might get so cold that my nose freezes and drops off! Hehe
OMHG I just realised that I now have the perfect excuse to buy a trench coat! Muahaha!!!
I am thankful though, and I trust in God completely about where He is going to send me.
Jer 29.11.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
In other words, I have got someone of a much higher power looking out for me :)
All I have to do now is to pass the Petronas cut-off point. I am hopeless in A2, but I am hopeful in the Lord :)
