So through a long LONG LONG course of correspondence with Kyushu University (It's in Japan), I am proud and VERY RELIEVED to say that I've been accepted for exchange for a full academic year! YAY~~!!!! The only problem is whether or not my crappy department is going to allow it. SIGH... Even MORE headaches. Need to suit up for WW3...
Any-whos, if all goes well I shall officially be an 'International Student' of Kyushu from late September 2010 to July 2011. HEE HEE~!! My Japanese level is going to improve through the roof!! YAY!!! I can finally FINALLY near-perfect the language!! Seriously, there's only so much and so far you can do and learn in Singapore. For me, I'm currently at a brick wall. The only time that was breached was when I went on exchange to Japan last summer semester and yes, that was in Kyushu University too. ATW is criteria for JTW so what to do? LOL.
So sue me, I've fallen in love with Kyushu. LOL. Kyushu University is coincidentally 6th top in Japan, so in that regard I'm really lucky~! Though not as lucky as my genius boyfriend who made it to Osaka University (3rd. In Japan, Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka Universities are known as the 大三(pronounced だいさん or 'daisan')'big 3') A long time ago, I hoped that I would be able to attend Tokyo University one day, but you know Kyushu University isn't so bad either! LOL. In fact, I actually prefer Kyushu University over Tokyo University now after having studied there before. (Cheaper expenses which includes shopping, less crowded but not like countryside, still more technologically advanced than in Singapore)
Feels kinda surreal... Like how you always talk about your dreams and how you hope you can slowly work your way up to them. BUT when it's there, right in front of your face, the feeling is 100000000000000X better!! A new kind of high altogether!!
Anyways, for those who don't know, I've always wanted to do my Graduate Studies in Sociology in Japan. Getting this exchange would be able to secure a much higher chance of admission in Kyushu University when the time comes because of (a) more than adequate Japanese proficiency level and (b) known comparable grades. So even more YAY~!
One step at a time~~~!
