ok..... this is BIIIIG.... i have something that i really have to proclaim to the whole world....
1. I got A- for my last paper.... it was a descriptive analysis essay.... really.... i though the best i would manage would be a B.... but hey.... i got a A-!!!!! I am soooooo happy!!!! I mean.... look, I know for certain that I CANNOT describe.... seriously.... and the best part of it was, I think the part of the essay that earned me my A-, was this short descriptive paragraph that i just BS out like five minute before the class!!!! Really.... i feel like kissing everyone.... i am really really overjoyed!!!!!
2. I just took part in my FIRST EVER ENGLISH ESSAY COMPETITION.... seriously.... no joke.... i am not BSing..... i just turned in a 7 page essay for this essay writing competition. Ok.... as always, this kind of thing always have a catch.... this competition is open only to those taking english writing classes in summer... which is REALLY cool.... coz very few freaks like me take summer class in the very first place.... and of course... the other side of the story is that those that are taking it (as in those higher level writing classes...), must be really really good.... well.... not tat i really care..... after all, first prize in the category win 800 dollar and 700 for the two second place.... hahah.. pretty neat huh?!?!?!? so i was in that hopwood room about like 15 minutes ago, filling in the forms and handing in those 3 copies of my "masterpiece"..... it is a personal narrative.... nothing out of this world.... i did it for my first paper in my english class, and the class loved it.... so did my professor.... but she only give me a B+.... which also explains why i am so happy with that A- this time round.... anyway.... here is the fun part of this whole incident that i really dunnoe to laugh or cry.... i was done with my submission and was like talking to this guy that is handling all the submission when this really really old guy come in..... probably around 50 liao.... man... he is using a stick to help him walk.... when i was like Wow... could this be one of the Prof that is gonna judge my essay??? then i saw that tiny green piece of paper that he hold in his hand.... the application form for the competition.... and i really feel like crying..... i mean... look.... i am like here... seriously mustered all my courage and piled on the thickest skin ever in the world to hand in my "masterpiece" and only to find that i will be competing against a 50 yr old guy who is probably doing his PhD thesis in english..... JUST VERY ENCOURAGING...... seriously.... you should see my face.... it definitely look weird coz that guy in charge was like asking me if i am ok..... wat the @#$%^&*()..... you tell me lahz.... really can cry lehz.... but actually it is still quite funny if you look at it layhz... hahah... again.... i am laughin and letting you ppl laugh at my expense.... hahahaha. ... well... tat should be all..... wish me luck man.....
