Just reorganised my music files on my Zen Touch. Talking with the PSC people after the roadshow has confirmed my belief that the only way to read English at university on a scholarship is to take up an MOE scholarship. Either that, or read something else in France, so that I'll get my post-graduate studies paid for too. That's a highly attractive proposition actually, except I'm not sure I want to study in France. Heck, I'm not even sure if I should read English. Pragmatism versus idealism. Mr Sowden's lecture has helpfully reminded me that I'm unlikely to be satisfied with a teacher's pay. (I'm the one who has dreams of living at Sentosa Cove!) I should take Mr Rollason for my role model and marry a lawyer. Isn't it odd that I can think of future(s), but I can't write Mr Kwok's essay to save my life? I am sorely tempted to sleep early, because I'm ahead for Mr Tay's tutorials and I don't want to start on my essay on the international economy. Can't wait for DramaFeste tomorrow, if only because I like watching plays, depressing though they may be. Actually, I like the idea of watching plays with my friends, not necessarily the play per se. I have yet to go for a play alone. Come to think of it, the only thing I've done alone is buy books, and that's really a solitary activity anyway, if you think about it. Thong has informed me that the copies of The Well-Beloved and Two On A Tower have arrived at Kinokuniya, which is wonderful. Plus I think I will do Cunningham's A Home At The End Of The World after all. A modern novel to compare with a classic novel, and Ted Hughes to set beside Thom Gunn. Exceedingly pleased with myself now for displaying such resolve! For now...
