I've just written the first paragraph of my Stanford essay. I still have no idea how I'm going to continue with the rest of the essay. Anyway, a man from StarHub just came over moments ago. He was supposed to install the cable tv. I was really surprised cos I'd thought all along that she never wanted cable tv. My mum wasn't at home so I called her. Turned out she'd actually cancelled the appointment. My brother and I were so tempted to tell the person to just go ahead and install the cable tv. Haha but being the good children that we are, we decided not to. But I'm probably going to complain to my mum later haha.
Anyway had SAT II Writing today. Didn't really have much time to study for it, but I'm just really thankful that the essay topic was easier than the one in June. Hopefully I didn't write out of point. The grammar part was a little tricky but I thought I did ok, so I guess I'll just see my score in 2 weeks' time. Actually, I was just quite relieved that I wasn't late for the test. I was supposed to be at the test center at 8, but I woke up at like 7.30. I don't recall hearing my alarm clock but my maid said she heard my alarm clock, so I must've turned it off and slept on for another hour. Thank goodness the center is near my house. Took a cab there and by the time I came, most of the people were already there. This is the second time this week that I'd really overslept. On Monday, I was supposed to go to school at 8 for Econs lesson, but I woke up at 7.50. Had to rush all the way to school in cab. Can't believe I've wasted so much money on cab fare this week just because I'd overslept.
I watched the Apprentice episode that I taped on Thursday just now. I think the show's really cool! Like the final 2 contestants got to each manage a golf tournament and Jessica Simpson concert. I'm really going to miss the show after it ends next week! Talking about another tv show, Singapore Idol, well what can I say? The moment I stopped voting for David (voted for him last week), he got out. Oh well.. I'm really looking forward to finding out who'll be the winner cos I don't think anyone really stands out right now, but my favourites are Sly (not with the blonde hair!) and Maia.
Anyway I know I'm going to have to start my revision really soon. Others have already started like last week. I'm going to study really hard and conquer the A levels. New resolve: 4As.
Ok now back to my essay...
