im so fucking pissed with uni and scholarship apps.
why do i have to key in so much stuff when all i want to tell u is what course i want to study! and of course, i want u to let me study that course!
and let's not talk abt all those essays with their bloody annoying qns like describe an achievement you're proud of or what are your values.
my values? i dun think i shld be answering ur stupid qn u nosy parker.
and of course, the qn that takes the cake currently - is a scholar an elitist?
like seriously, this qn is asking for it.
and since when did the whole applications process become online?
i know they're gearing towards high-tech and cyber and convenience.
im laughing abt the 3rd one.
it's definitely convenient having to press ctrl-alt-del to clear up the hangs from msn, only to realise that the whole explorer is down and the only way to go is to restart the comp.
with the press of the button, BZZT. ur screen goes black.
and everything u had typed and which was waiting for that click on the 'submit' button was now bits of cyberspace dust.
this happened to me like 6 times alr.
my best streak was with the nus applications window. each time it tried to load my firefox browser would hang, followed by my msn, and then the comp. 4 times in a row.
i guess they didnt mind losing me to ntu.
what's so troublesome with writing all these applications on paper? you can see the qns clearly, u can see what u are writing, u can double check as many times as u want before u mail it out.
why the fuck am i limited by time to do my application online? are u in a rush to play cricket?
and when my time is up, u dun save my work. instead u eat it. tea time eh?
what the fuck man seriously.
my future lies in my own hands, not in some paws of a mentally unstable cookie-deprived monster of an online portal.
and let's not come to the part abt leaving the applications window open for a few hours while we facebook and msn and game and surf.
at least ntu received my $10 application fee alr.
or i would have entirely lost faith in this automated world.
