hey ppl!

sorry for the lack of updates... as ive been sayin n sayin, surfin in 56k n doin work is pissing me off. so? no updates. jeez, i cant even get to mail my friends coz calls keep comin n my line trips, which closes all internet activity. damn AOL. ten more days n i'll get my DSL line from SBC Yahoo! so then i can really do my net stuff...

okay...

so... i got another acceptance. this from the great University of Southern California. That '70s Show's Topher Grace (Eric) is a current student and Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) is an alumni. USC. A school that I initially wanted to go to, coz of its reputation, ranked 30th in the whole country, my cousin doin his masters there, they are the national champs in NCAA american football. so everything to look forward to.

except... financing. it being a private university, the tuition rate rockets up. n living cost is gonna b so ex, coz its in LA. sigh. its engineering department doesnt compare to that of georgia tech. so, i guess USC is a no-no, even if i wanted to.

sigh. if i had known a little info bout my dad, which i cant disclose here, i wouldnt hav applied to any private unis at all. juz goin to a public uni is like spendin 60% of wat u would spend in a private uni.

now im gonna hav a real headache should i get accepted to carnegie mellon, coz thats the best uni of all the ones ive applied. then i would really hav to consider, even tho im pretty sure i wont get admitted to that one. but then again, ive been accepted by georgia tech n USC, which i didnt expect, so anythin can happen.

i didnt really look at the livin cost til the money problem surfaced. i was supposed to apply for aid, so it wasnt an important thing. now tt my dad cant file the papers before the deadline, its a major issue.

that bein the case, i only hav two choices for universities. georgia tech, and mayb i hav to transfer to univ of illinois urbana champaign next yr. these two unis, together wit uni of texas at austin, are top notch unis wit a very very cheap expense. my dad's friend quoted 'these universities who are so well established academically, its amazing to see that they charge so little.'

so yea, im heading to atlanta for sure now. i'm officially a 'yellow jacket.' tts the nickname for the students in the uni. tts the only thin im not happy abt. at least USC has the nickname, 'trojans' and umass 'minutemen' as their nickname, georgia tech is just 'yellow jacket' coz the mascot is a bumble bee. tts quite.. erm...

well, i guess its coz nothing compares when u previously had the nickname as a 'saint.' tts the ultimate. but ah well, im a yellow jacket now.

oh, another thing, georgia tech is predominantly male. about 68-70% male. i mean duh, its basically a full fledged engineering school with pretty much no other major than the school of science, how many females study engineering, its mainly a indian male field. so there goes my potential breakthrough in adventures wit a college girl. haha, not like tts important, but this will prove to some of u who think i'll b playin around that i wouldnt b screwin around once im in college, since female population is less than 30%. n dont worry, i wont turn gay, or so i think. haha.

yep, so one hurdle, still havent got to call the admissions office to let them know bout my A Level grades. hope that doesnt really influence. it shouldnt actually.

but you never know.

okay, will b back wit more posts soon, im feelin real hungry here.

n guys, any idea when we'll get our official cert? i need to tell those ppl in the admissions office.

wheee... im a georgia tech yellow jacket now...!
