the resurrection
yeah it's been a while. but heck it's my blog.thought that it would only be appropriate if i mention that i have already passed my driving test and that i have my liscense with me right now. once you start with this blogging business,you just feel OBLIGED to divulge in every notable detail of your life, regardless how mundane it actually sounds or whoever is reading this.
uni admissions just ended. u of chicago for me. although i thought that i would be going on and on about this topic for quite a while, surprisingly when reality hit i didn't really feel like talking about it at all. maybe because now the gossip isn't just about other ppl, but involves me as well. jut too meny emotions involved. so how come i'm talking about it today? funny as it sounds, i was inspired by a low-budget adam sandler movie.
it's about a hispanic girl relating her life with her single mom, a headstrong lady who lived for her daughter IN HER PRINCETON APPLICATION ESSAY. the mom worked with a white family, their lives got intertwined, blah blah. in the end, the point was the mom made many sacrifices for her daughter, and demanded that the daughter do the same, but it was okay because the daughter would not live her life in any other way if not to live it for her mom. at the end of her essay, she said that because of that (her life being deeply entwined with her mom's) getting into princeton would thrill her,but not define her, cuz she is her mother's daughter.
things wouldn't be this cool and wowing if it weren't for the fact that 12 of us atu ppl went for the movie, and actually chose it randomly for want of a better flick. it was MEANT for us. no one else in thecineplex would be able to identify better with the admissions scene than us. and the message was custom made. although i say i'm fine, i know i still feel the teeny weeny twinge of disappointment whenever i think of unis.(i'm still sore about uwc and that was 2 years ago) but the movie tonight really made me feel that things like not going ivy are okay. okay, being mandy's daughter isn't exactly the first thing that would come to my mind, prolly being christian maybe, and my life as a whole. you know, like looking at the bigger picture and seeing what;s really important to me and all that jazz. and the fact that the message came just at the RIGHT time, that fate orchestrated the day so that all of us woud go out and watch the movie also provided some kind of comfort, like somebody up there knows what i'm going through if you know what i mean. feel better now than the past week. ahhh....

So proud of that...every moment was history weaved with magic=p Unis have been one of the most memorable experiences, glorifying every second and hope left. Let the moment reign in memories!
it was how should i say..an enlightening experience..everything about american unis. uchicago is an amazing school and im not saying it is so only because im feeling consolish. im not. chicago is amazing, difficult (gulp) and top-notch. u're gonna have the time of ur life there and someday im gonna be able to point to ur face in forbes and say, "wahhh hey, i knew that girl!"
and then i will call u up for lunch, whether or not u remember me and demand that u share ur wealth. hahahaha...
