I'm at school now and it isnt a very convenient time to be using the computer. I feel sick. um as in not *coughsneezehackwheeze* sick but 'im feeling funny' sick. though I wish I had a tummy ache to take my mind off the real sick.

I got 25/30 for math, which is what I got for the last test. (quadratic graphs I think)and it comes out to be 83.33333 percent on my calculator. and 25.5 is 85%. hahaha I think I'll go get myself an icecream or something since I expected to do a little better and could have put in more effort- though I was doing math all through the national day holidays. At least I passed geog. Which isn't really something to be happy about, since I could have gotten better marks if I had studied properly. and not blanked out): I hope I do well for history.

Speaking of academic stuff, I went to the mit talk yesterday after school and um it was mainly to dream a little bit (well a lot, considering what you need to get in) and to see what it was like, since I was all over the bio lectures they posted on the web. There were many foreign students there, and it seems they really plan ahead and know exactly where they want to go, which made me feel very guilty. 14 is not young to start planning for your college education, and there is some extent of planning need to get in to mit, or any other reputable instituition. Considering the chances and criteria, there is practically a 0% chance I'll get in, so yeah my head is in the clouds and I don't know where my feet are going. It seems like you need:
1. consistent academic records (nil)
2. a leadership position (none to speak of)
3. participate in a international competition like the math/ chem/ bio/ physics olympiad (nope)
4. play a musical instrument/ dance/ theater/ sport (I have a GRADE 2 in violin and very limited dance background)
writing this has made me sicker.

FA comp tomorrow- goodluck esther jane siling :D dont freak, yeah(: and even though lots of yearmates can't be there, we will still be supporting you in our hearts! haha it sounds like mouldy cheese.
