It's Been A While

And so it has. Much has happened in the 2 months between this post and the last. In easily-digestible bullet-point form:

1. Made it through (battle-weary and not much stronger, but maybe wiser) through the last months of Sapphire Committee-dom.
2. Made it through Bangsawan (not easily)
3. Got rejected by UCL (Aw, man).
4. Got accepted into LSE (Hell yeah!).
5. Received and read Ishmael! (Thank you!)
6. Bucked up on my Maths (finally showing some return on the parental investment.)
7. Adjusted to Ms Daleen. (Connotations abound!)
8. Adjusting to the fact that I don't have to do crap anymore and I can finally sit down and get some studying done.

On the Sapphire thing.

So I wasn't that good a House Captain. I'll be the first to admit it. Hell, i'd bet most of the people I worked with will agree. I tried my best, though, and i'm not gonna make any excuses. I did what I could, given what I was, and I'll defend to the death every single decision I made in that one year. No regrets. Thank you to Haq, to Yatz, to Kammy, to Suman, to Jijul, to Hairul, and all of the Committee. You were the ones who kept me sane. Haq especially. Could not have made it without his quiet support and the fact that he has my ass, always.

Kammy and Suman. We're not talking now. There I said it. Hah. We're not talking and I honestly have no idea how to approach either of you. It's difficult when there's no neutral ground or a mediator. So i'm gonna settle for what both of you've seemed to settle for as well. Pretend it doesn't exist and live around it, despite the fact i live with one of you. But hey, it's only 4 more months, right?

Hairul, thank you for being director. Jijul, thank you for pulling together an awesome cast and training them til god knows when and putting on that amazing show. I could never do something like that. (Jeez, why'm I typing like they're actually gonna read this?)

Anyway. All that's behind me. Again, no regrets. Valuable lessons were learnt. And Amin, the new HC, seems to have everything under perfect control, which is a hell of a load off my mind. =)

On Everything else.

LSE's offered me a place. Thank you. =) BSc Government and Economics, AAB. Dream offer, really. Thank you. Now the battle for a scholarship begins.

Maths isn't looking too bad now. I can probably juuust scrape through, and my tests have been.. Encouraging so far. So it all seems to be going my way for now. Must find a way to keep this up, at least till June.

.. I just realised the blog of a guy who doesn't seem to have much drama isn't really interesting to read, is it? Ah well.

In that case, I suppose, I'll end this post here, least til something interesting hits me.

(Lame) End.
