The dreadful application process. Forms after forms. Deadlines after deadlines. Courses after courses. Requirements after requirements. Disappointments after disappointments and if I’m lucky, hope and joy. It’s all too familiar to me now. So far I’ve filled in my UPU form that determines my place in local universities for the 1^st Degree intake and I’ve also separately applied for a teaching course at IPG(Institut Perguruan Gaya) –desperate measure-. I just hope I get the UPU ones. I can’t imagine myself being a primary school teacher. Good lord. I’m a child myself! Mostly I applied for English courses. TESL(Teaching English as a Second Language), Bach. of Arts Major in English, you know, all that jazz. My sister who’s a primary school English teacher herself is pushing me to take the same course as she did since I love English so much. Let me tell you this, I love English but I don’t love teaching as much especially to small children. I can cope with teaching adolescents and young adults but not kids, period. Their attention span is quite short, I know because I was one of them. Meh, who knows? Maybe if I get in, I would consider liking teaching?

I know you’re like, “I thought you wanted to take TESL, you conniving b*tch.” Yes, I do but a different type of TESL. Like for teaching secondary schools and eventually becoming a lecturer but not to primary school children. IPG only has TESL(SK) which means it’s a degree solely for the methodology of teaching in primary school (keep in mind, I was forced). God, I hope I get the UPU ones… but even if I did get accepted for IPG I wouldn’t mind because hey! At least I’m studying somewhere! It’s a brilliant institution nonetheless so I might as well dealt with it if I do get in which really depends on my SPM result instead of my STPM.
