Mixed Tape



I sat and pondered upon the results of the public university. It's been hellofarollercoasterride for me. 2006, God-given results, yet was stuck in Form6. They say that lightning doesn't strike twice.

I guess they were wrong.

Here I am, 2008. Stuck, without any scholarship offers. My innermost desire is overseas. I have everything ready, including a placement in two of the universities in UK. But I have failed to get any scholarships, except for one last hope - Sime Darby. Well, that hope looks as bleak as can be. No news so far, except one mail which told me I've got the interview and I've to confirm my acceptance of it.

Lord, where?

First choice - USM, Mass Comm. They gave me UM, Econs instead. I'm not utterly disappointed, downhearted. I'm just amazed at how inefficient the whole system can be. Take a look at these two links below which Chris sent to me.

Again, I gratefully accept things which come my way. Everything is God-given, none of it of my own. Why should I fret? Why should I complain and count my woes? Lord, just show me what are Your plans for me. I've asked and I'm asking again that if it's Your will, so be it, whatever it may be. Anywhere You say, Lord.

This is the mixed tape of my life.

The rest is still unwritten.

Go for it bro. I pray that you trust in God's guidance as He leads you towards greater heights.

cerealkiller : jonan? great to meet you in cyberspace.

The recent turn of event have got nothing to do with your results,nor the placement system. None of the applicants who applied for Mass comm in USM that i know actually got it.

This is actually because of the new condition that they started to enforce this year which is : A B (3.00) or above in Bahasa Malaysia or English in STPM.

Anyway, all the best in your future endeavors.

discordant dude said...

hi zachary,

can you tell me where you get that information from?

and by 'english', i supposed you do not mean MUET but english literature?

wadefish said...

bro : fr wat cheryl told me, that "condition" has been "enforced" ever since her time but to very little effect. maybe this time round the government chose to really enforce it for a change.

And yes, by English I think they mean English Literature and not MUET.
