After thinking hard and long, though saying so would get me the "Understatement In The History Of Mankind" award, I have finally submitted my JAE application together with a huge sigh of relief.
The days leading up to this one have been long and painful, both for my brain and my heart. Decision-making really gets to me and I can't say that I'm not a indicisive person, cause I am, to such a extent that is incomprehensible to most. It's just as traumatic, if not even more, than sitting for O Levels and waiting for the results put together.
Heart: "Go poly, go poly! You've always wanted to go to poly"
Brain: "Go JC, go JC! It's more practical and you can get into university faster as well."
Heart: " But you can go to a external university after completing your diploma. Further more, if you don't feel like studying, you can go work. Compared to going to JC, it's a big incentive no?"
Then there's always the issue of prospects and of course, pay. It was just going back and forth, back and forth and while others were already brooding which course or subjects to take, I was still at the fundamental question of "JC or poly?" And finding out that maths isn't a compulsory subject in JC only served to make matters worse.
I can only say I work well under stress. The knowledge of the deadline drawing nearer by the second really pushed me to fill in the application and eventually see the whole 10 minutes of life-changing clicks through.
So here goes:
1st choice: Visual Communication at TP
2nd choice: Nanyang JC
3rd choice: Yishun JC
Going to leave the rest out cause they were basically courses thrown together in a desperate attempt to fill up the 12 slots.
Now, to pray that I actually pass the interview, if I'm shortlisted that is. Blah.
Happy Molecues' Day Valentine's Day!
