So, for the first time in quite some time, I have a few loose days in school. :) Nothing much I've been doing, usually just staring at the tube, gobbling up anything edible that crosses my path...These past few days, the only thing I've done that's productive is check on my mail, hoping there'd be an email from our adviser with some feedback regarding our lousy first draft.

I think it's more of the outlook than any actual reduction in academic load that has made my past few days "loose." I guess, after our first, very draining thesis draft, everything else is pretty much manageable.

I've been surfing for schools lately. Over the Christmas break, my uncle gave me this list of top 200 universities in the world (sidenote: not a trace of UP). Naturally, I got curious and looked some of them up. I learned that even if I started applying right away, and if (big if) some of them accepted me, the earliest I can start with classes would be on September of 2009. Seems like a long long time from now. @_@

I think I'm going to have to go full throttle with my applying from now until then. I figured I'll use the shotgun strategy. I suppose, of the many schools from that list I'll be trying out for, at least some of them should find something in me, shouldn't they? And since UP didn't get to the top 200 in the world, I can be sure that the opportunity cost of choosing any of the schools on the list over UP is not as high. And in such a case as when I don't get accepted to any of the schools I applied for, (*cries*) there's always UP. XD
