Little more than a week left. Trying to always stay calm.

I did not register for Dec SAT II. Am effectively eliminating US overseas study. And sometimes I wake up and think, 'Oh no, have I done something stupid?' It's the first big option that I have eliminated since trying to decide what to do post A-levels. Honestly, this is terrifying. It's like I'm blindly opening doors and shutting some in a dark tunnel, not knowing where it'll lead me. (Stupid imagery again.)

Have decided, sort of, what to do (I think). If I get Cambridge, I'll go there of course. If I get Edinburgh instead, I'll go there, but only with scholarship (so have to go hunting for one. Think it'd be either Mendaki, MOE or MCYS). If not, then I'll try for Medicine in NUS where I plan to eventually sepcialise in psychological medicine. If I don't get that either, I'll try to do a double degree (a part of me insists this is a mad plan): BSc in Life sciences with concentration in Biomedical Sciences and and BA/BSocSc in Psych. I have yet to decide which will be my first degree. (Because NUS website says that if I fail to get a 4.0 GPA in any of the two courses, I'd have to drop the second degree.) And I have to ask the faculty for permission to do double degree too. Oh, what a hassle. But since NUS does not offer things like a Neuroscience and Psychology course, I have to work around it. -_-

Seems like an okay plan. For now. I am tired of thinking about what to do.

Oh, went to look at my SATI essay. I remember saying that I thought I had gone completely off topic, but it seems I hadn't. I scored a 10 again. Don't I wish this is how they mark GP.
