who will be loved?

it seems my friend tom's brother knows maroon 5 personally. and i mean since their underground days. since he knows them as a friend, tom was commenting that his brother knows who the singer is referring to the song in 'she will be loved' song. apparantly he left this particular girl that he's referring to for another one, unlike in the video, where it seems like the singer's falling for the girlfriend's mom.

im having the toyota interview later on. im nervous, but at the same time, i cant wait til the phone starts ringing. im going to be so restless during the english class later on.

oh, and i managed to convince my calculus teacher that the 10 marks lost in my first test was a slip of the mind and had i been under the right conditions, i would never have gotten it wrong. so im getting the A afterall. this is lovely, if you have a valid case, you can request for change in grades. ive never been in such a situation where you could negotiate for grades.

im trying to complete certain things that i need to finish over the week coz i'm awaiting for my MSE group meeting, which is at 11, and not 10.

public universities across georgia is about to embark on an unprescendented increase in tuition at the mid year, and we are all signing petitions for them. for out of state students like myself, its going to be an increase of about US$800, which is a big deal. of course, if everything goes right, then i can probably finance at the most half of my costs in georgia tech if i co-op for 4 or 5 semesters (fingers crossed on the toyota stint)

however, there is another bad news to top that off. it seems very likely that the draft will be a reality, which means there might be a slight chance that my number will get picked. it is a scary thought, coz i might have to serve in a war i dont support. of course, the chances are very low, but it can still happen. tom said that since we're still students, we might be able to request for reconsideration, but im not sure what i'll do if i am to be drafted.

i was listing the possible courses i might need to take over the next couple of years in order to be able to go to both the study abroad programs. since there are two involved, the scheduling becomes a little hectic. i might need to cram some required courses to my 5th year, which includes courses such as PSYC1101 and CS4400. i just need to complete the prerequisite courses so that i can finish off a little earlier. this whole thing with me not being able to take CS1371 put me in quite a difficult position. and i really should have taken MATH1502 afterall. coz then i would have been able to take statistics or probability a little earlier than most people. im going to complete the free electives pretty easily, so that wont be a prob. right now, im looking at going to Japan on the spring 2006 semester and to Singapore and Beijing on the summer of 2007. and then i should have just 2 more semesters til i graduate. by the time i get to Singapore, most of my friends there would have graduated. so is gonna be weird, but my peer leader, Scott, is thinking of going to NUS for his MBA, which then would be pretty cool to hang around with him.

Alright, that's it for now. Been blogging more than often lately, and I can't shrug the feeling somehow that I'm supposed to be doing something else instead of this.
