Wow I haven't blogged for three months??

Well I've been busy with school... This semester was very hard to get through, since basically I didn't have much break through summer, taking classes and whatnot. Lack of motivation too, because I didn't really know what my future will be like. It seemed like all my efforts and sacrifices were just part of a big gamble, not a guaranteed success. So it was hard. I didn't want to do anything, including studying and filling out applications. It seemed useless. I guess I was just tired of everything. But yesterday I found out that I got accepted to MU! Wooohooo! It was pretty unbelievable, since I thought I didn't do so great during "group" interview. (May be the school looks more at the 'stats and numbers' than interview... I didn't think they really got to know me during the interview so.) But anyhow, I got in, and I do realize for the first time that it is possible, that I don't have any lame excuses. That all my efforst and sacrifices do come out to be a success. It's weird to know that it really is possible. Wanna know what the very first thing that came into my head when I first saw that "accepted" word? O.K., the very first thing was "No way!", but right after, I was thinking of all the people who helped me throughout the application process. I really don't think any of this was possible without their help, my friends, teachers, family members who believed in me and who supported me. It's just amazing. I'm forever grateful of those people who would do anything to help me achieve my dreams. And all of them were so happy when I shared the good news! I'm just very lucky to have these people around me. They seemed more happier than I did. I am quite tired and stressed for finals so that might explain why I'm not as excited as I should be.

The school that I've been accepted is very expensive. It's one of the reasons why I don't really wish to attend the school, even if I'll become a pharmacist in 3 years instead of 4. The whole cost of attending would be around $50,000, so go figure. I think my parents will want to support me throughout my education, but I don't really want to put this much burden on their shoulders. I'll also have to talk to the school about visa problems, except that I don't want them to know that they are not my top choice. Arrg I should think about all this things after the final, not right now. I should study for finals now!! Go study!!

One thing I know is, whatever happens, I'll be a pharmacy student next year! I'll probably change my blog then too....
