Several months. This is v late, but: A's are OVER!!! I've accepted UTas' offer, even though it has always been (and still is) my dream to go study in the UK. I would LOVE to go to St.Andrews/Newcastle/Glasgow/Queen's/Bangor/Aberdeen... (u might ask, 'Why, YY, did u apply to such out-of-the-way unis?" ans: they're the few tt offer marine bio) ... BUT... $$$$$$$$$$$! The Scottish unis are way cheaper than those in, say, London, but they're still considerably more expensive than those in Australia. & a clarification: I'm going to Tasmania, not Tanzania or Princeton (as opposed to Queensland)! (i laughed fit to burst on hearing tt - the way news spreads!) at least i won't be staying in S'pore any longer. this means i won't be around to collect my results next March. the one thing I'm gonna miss (other than my family & frens, of course) is my books. I've already cleared my bkshelves (not an easy task!), wrapped up all my bks n stored them. my numerous shelves (n my wardrobe. my entire room, actually) look terribly empty, n for the moment i've got nth but library bks to read. I won't miss my clothes/desk/bed, but the bks... can't bring them. have u any idea how COSTLY excess baggage charges are!!?? i shld just ship all the stuff i need over to hobart, like, now, so i'll be able to receive them when i arrive. most of my luggage consists of my dive stuff. the rest are: 1/2 bks plus some of my clothes. altogether alr 20kg, altho i still have loads not packed. anyway: if anyone i know are gonna be visiting australia anytime in the next 3 yrs, do pay me a visit! even tho hobart is out of the way of any part of australia, n not exactly convenient to reach... |
