so exciting!
they're having the international student exchange program again!!!!!.... its a program where they send 20 nyp final year students to France or Germany to study at the universities there!... there are two universities in France , one in paris and one in nice(or however u spell it)...the germany one is situated near a small town but the expenses there are lesser... in france its more exp coz of accomodations and food i think
anywayyyyyyyyyyyyyy...its open to alll third year students (which i am btw .. finally)...and guess wat!!!...i signed up for it!!!!!!!!!... of coz theres that problem of being selected to go but stilllll the chance is there and if i actually get chosen it will be super cool...oh yes weiwei and santa have signed up too...
actually..i didnt know i'd signed up for it coz that day that the teacher came class to class to tell us about it i thot i was signing up for the TALK about the exchange program..but then later my friends told me that it is actually a name list of those interested in the program itself.. so yeah...interesting rite
anyway the details are as follows:
- actual trip will be from Jan to May next year (2005)...actually its either jan to april or feb to may...
- school fees there will be paid for by NYP but we still cont to pay for our third year's NYP fees
- expenses estimated by those that went there before are 7000 for france and 5000 for germany but nicky says thats if u dont go out and eat maggie mee and bread everyday hahahaha...he went there (paris) for a month exchange program during june this year and he spent 4000...haha..he says it shd be around 10000 to 12000
- there are 20 vacancies and as far as i can tell its open to all SBM third year students
- however u cant have any outstanding modules and must be a B average student (but the teacher said this can be negotiated)
- also about the special project thing that i signed up for...it stretches to next year too..so the teacher said that if we want we can continue with it via email or something or we can drop it..i was thinking i wld like to take the SP module coz of 1) interest and 2) hehe the possibility of diploma with merit (i know cant stand me rite everythign also want).. but if i really cant cope then i will drop it but only if i get to go on the exchange program... actually drop also better coz its really not fair for my group if i go overseas halfway and leave them 1 man short
- lessons there are like only 3 days a week anddddddddddd..... many students try to leave thurs fri and the weekend free so they can go to trips like london or something ..how cool is that!
- anddd some of hte unis will provide accomodations in their school hostels...but some u have to source for ur own accomodations ..i think they'll provide a list of accomodations..
- oh and there will be other students there on their exchange programs too.. ppl from the US, South Korea, China, etc..
so yeah...really hope i get to go..if not...... then...haizzzzzzzzz......will be really disappointed.. but hten if i do go....its 4 mths!...i dunno if i can be independent!... all of u who know me(well)... u'll know htat i'm very notindependent!... i rely alot on my friends and family.... i'll prob go overseas and end up burning my clothes or shrinking them or something...oh yes and there is the problem of missing my friends and family and my DOGS. This program takes place during the last semester of my final year at NYP..which means if i get to go... i wont see my friends anymore after i get back...i know ppl keeptelling me that u come back still can contact them..but its not the same anymore!...i'm talking about like the familiarity of studying (crapping) together in school.... having rubbish tutorials and lectures with them... having fun in tutorials with them... we wont be able to wonder the corridors of NYP anymore with nothing to do(actually hardly ever get to do that now anyway haha too much projects)... wont be able to work together in the access labs or IBRC...
am getting over emotional ahahahaha...not even selected yet ...may not even get selected at all..but who cares this is just about feelings..a blog is always about feeligns and if ppl judge me becoz of that then too bad this is just how i feel.
