Yesterday I went to the NYU Abu Dhabi meeting, and it was a little scary. It does sounds pretty cool to go to meet all these international kids and study in Kenya and Egypt and wherever, but I don't think I'm ready for that. I wouldn't be able to study so far away from family and friends and the USA.
And as if I'd get accepted anyway. You'd have to be a super overachieving/involved student to get in. Maintaining good grades AND playing sports AND doing clubs AND religious life, and MAYBE family and friends in-between?! And EXCELLING AT EVERYTHING?! super achiever overload much? heoooo nah, I think I'd like to keep my sanity. How do people do it? I didn't go TOO crazy on the e-c's this year, and I'm having so much trouble not letting my grades go down, doing good enough on the SAT, running track, learning theory for piano, squeezing in community service,
Anyway, where was I?
another problem with NYU Abu Dhabi for me is that I have no clue what my major would be, and NYU Abu Dhabi is a liberal arts school (with science and engineering or something like that o____o'). lol I thought it was funny how the representative kept adding the "with science and engineering" part in.
haha well, I think I'll stick to colleges in the United States, thankyouverymuch. Although a full-ride to college does sounds pretty good T___T
tangent! First meet today~ I really don't know how I'll do. I'm not exactly in shape yet and my shins are starting to kill me, but I think I've conditioned enough to at least do my best and be ...okay? I ran 5 miles with Krystal on Monday, and I nearly died because that's the longest I've ran since cross country T___T dudeee... what happened in cross country?! How did I do it?! o____o
Well, I'll just set some easy goals for today and try not to die (o:
Right on Ang. Junior year is super hard...how to keep track of all those things? Besides the US one of the best schooling systems in the world, right? Friggin land of the free.
ReplyDeleteYou xcountry kids are BEAST. Good job today! I hope you rest up well! :D
