Challenge - Day 2

so i would like to share about major event happened today. as mentioned, EVENT. singular. only one important event in my life today because i wasn't trying to be productive today since i feel so free without any classes throughout the week so i decide to let this groundbreaking freedom be spent without doing nothing (actually i'm quite busy with iCEF so i am not actually that free though - what am i talking about??). put that thing away for awhile.

okay. what is the EVENT that happened today? sorry for the babble up there, it is just my way to express the feeling *sigh*.

so, i met up with my sponsor at 3.30 pm (supposedly but of course "Janji Melayu" so it went up to be started around 4 pm). the meeting was meant to discuss about the changing of the program that i am currently enrolled in which is A-Level that need to be changed to ACTP (refer Interchange Conundrum). the officer told us about what we will face and those new requirements, new program structure and those things that made me perplexed eventually.

just before the meeting, Adam and i went to the Islamic Center (well it is a "surau" - nama nak gempak je..) to pray and right after that we did a little talk. he was actually went to the meeting to ask the officer to change his placement country which is from Australia to the States. so, he decided to go with me to the meeting as he could not do that alone and well, i didn't have anyone to go to, so we agreed to go together.

during the meeting, there were so many butterflies happily flying in my stomach. i didn't even know why. Adam said that (i paraphrase as) "you are nervous because you love me right". of course, i said "NO". but i wasn't sure myself. i wanted Adam to go to the US so badly because (i) it is his dream to study in prominent universities in America and (ii) at least i have someone to talk to about university application (yeah, i don't have anyone to talk about the thing that i even get envy to my current best friends - those people who are in the picture below - when they say this and that about Australian university application because they can share it among them and i am like a loner listen sorrowfully that slowly i cry in my heart longing for people who i can talk to about my university application, but i put that thing away as it is just some trivial thing that i should not think about too much)

back to the meeting thingy. i felt very confused and dumbfounded by the officer's explanation regarding our changing of program. at first, he said that we will be quitting A-Level and continuing our study as ADFP students (meaning that we will have 1 year foundation studies in INTEC + 4 years Bachelor's degree in the US - if and only if we pass the cutoff point which is getting CGPA 3.50) or not, we have to continue as ACTP students (1 year foundation + 1 year degree in INTEC + 3 years degree in the US). and then the Head of ADP Program said that we will continue the studies in INTEC as ACTP. if you get confuse too then we can become friends. although so many questions were being asked, i still got lost in the middle of the discussion. i just don't get it up til now that i decide maybe i need to attend another meeting next Monday for the briefing of my new program.

right after the meeting, i was so stressed out (it is very rare for me to experience stress) that i decided to go have early dinner with Adam (it was 5 pm i guess). even Adam who failed in his pursuit of changing his placement country felt so relaxed and happy though being stressful is kinda his hobby. but then, i was able to diminish my mental pressure after having good food.

that's all about today's event. pretty bland yeah i know but i am glad i can still continue the challenge - posting up new entry everyday. i will try to keep it up and may the odds be in my favor. hehehe

so, adios azizos.
