list A: things to do.
list B: reading
- fish for scholarships at brightsparks -.- and do the essays (if required)
- apply for NUS university scholars programme. i.e. do their essay -.-
- read. like a monster. (refer to list B)
- go get tim harford's the logic of life. repeat (3)
- wait expectantly for replies/offers/news from LSE/princeton/chicago/yale/columbia. nowadays airmail just sets me going like pavlov's dog's bell heh. (i should explain: the only airmail that comes for me nowadays is offers from overseas unis.)
- attempt to make a white russian when my mom's out. (don't tell her.) that is, if the vodka's still drinkable - i suspect it's cold-war vintage though O.o
list B: reading
- tim harford: the logic of life
- thomas pynchon: V
- ahmadou kourouma: allah is not obliged
- gabriel garcia marquez: love in the time of cholera

eek columbia is so cool. also, they sent an email saying they're anouncing admission decisions on mar 31, ie april 1 (april fools' day for us lol).
books :D read nick hornby's 31 songs, is interesting. like you probably won't like any of the songs much (all pop lol) but it's interesting what he has to say about music.
also oh no i should stop saying lol so much. D:
well i liked high fidelity... but i'm trying to explore other writers now. especially literature in translation. =) lots of cool stuff
and yup cool to columbia. but i can only go if i have a scholarship -.- didn't apply for aid. might have to reject it in the end, really sad.
ah lit in translation. it's not really a habit of mine to read entire poetry anthologies or exclusively one poet's works at a time or smth, but what i've read of pablo neruda (in translation) is really good. rainer maria rilke is nice as well.
ah well good luck with columbia. i think it's hard for intl students to get much aid too, so ditto on the scholarship. i guess it's that way for most people yeah :P
(cool this comments thing gives me email updates. blogger is copying livejournal!)
hard liquor never goes bad. Drink away. 1 part each of Vodka, kahlua and milk although you might want to go easy on the kahlua... i personally find that it tastes really muggy and strong if you put too much of it. Ice well.
