botchy nonperformance

I just wanna say it very quickly, “I failed the SAT!”

I let Princeton go by a gap of 160 points or so. Although, I still don’t know what’s the lowest SAT score requirement for the 2010 applicants. So, basically I want to retake it, but my dad doesn’t allow me to. Well, he said that it’d be better that now I should be more focused on the local university entrant assessments. I mean, I don’t know. I’m so confused. I don’t wanna give up my dream like this. It’s just too soon to call it an end.

However, I’m proud of myself that I could reach that quite high score; I only had more or less two months to study effectively for it and it was quite crazy because I had to divide my time for studying school materials and SAT stuff itself. I’m still thankful that I did not fail the maths section and the essay. I can’t forget those flash cards that contain kazillion of ‘alien’ words which trust me, I won’t be using for the rest of my daily life. I can’t forget those unbearably thick practice books that successfully made me sleep so late at night. So many unforgettable things during my preparation that I can only reminisce now.

The question is should I give up? Or should I give another shot? I have no idea to be honest; with the fact that now I’m more conscious that I’m not that confident to be able to compete with other talented students across the States and not to mention other international students. I don’t have any ‘astounding’ outside school activities or extracurriculars. I haven’t done any concrete, reputable or even notable good deeds that affect many people’s lives. I haven’t won any competitions in my high school record. I’m not that clever among my school-mates. Then, it’s not only about the SAT, but also those ’supporting’ materials that can boost your charisma before the university’s eyes. Even if my score was absolutely a perfection, there were gonna be other considerations that I doubted that mine would win their hearts. I’m just another kid with another huge, unreachable dreams needless to say. Big mouthed, aren’t I? Yeah, whatever.

At the very least, I tried, I already made an effort. I gave my very best shot. I regret nothing, but myself whom just too late to realise that it is very hard indeed. Think before you decide, will you?

p.s. I’m not afraid of failing, but it sucks deep down inside

Set in Motion

Hello friends! Long time no personal talk citing my daily life; I think there has been no interesting things happen lately, then why should I share any? The thing is, accept my apology please, I feel a bit cheesy these days. So many old memories rush into my brain as though it were loaded by them. I don’t know why, but reminiscing the good ol’ days sometimes, at some points cannot be less perfect. Those things really put a smile upon my face constantly, surprisingly.

I am not the kind of person who is stuck, or even drown in certain past times. It’s just looking back makes me feel really grateful for everything that has occurred to me. Moving on is very easy in my point of view, it doesn’t take me a countless period of time to, but I always consider that moving on doesn’t really necessary mean completely forgetting. Those happy, sad, good, bad and other random things are what I’m made of; thanks to them, it is myself as you see nowadays. I don’t regret the smiles I’ve made, the tears I’ve cried, the mistakes I’ve done, and not to mention the curses I’ve explicitly sworn. Yeah, whatever dude!

At the end of the day, whether it is good or bad, you ‘re eventually gonna have rather a laugh at it, trust me.

p.s. nonetheless, I’m still into you no matter what :’)

Yale Musical

Okay, I’ve wanted to post this a long time ago, but I just kept forgetting somehow lol.

Above is the print-screen of a video entitled College Musical which is produced by a bunch of Yale Students. It is an online musical series on YouTube. And you know what, to my surprise it is damn hilarious. A bit cheesy too I guess, but it is far better than those Indonesian TV series in which theme is also high school or college.

So far there have only been four episodes published. The actors are Yale students and the background is also Yale University and its surroundings. Cool, huh? Without further ado, why don’t check them out??? Here’s the link to the channel. There are other videos that may crack you up too inside. So, just check it out, ‘kay?

Aldhin, xx
