This is so surreal.
Okay so what happened was this. I was on my way to NTU on a bright sunny Wednesday morning, 3rd August, to attend the welcome ceremony which would kick off my Psychology academic life at NTU. On the jam-packed MRT, I received a phone call at around 9. So it went a little like this.

Me: Hello?
Woman: Hi, is this Michelle?
Me: Yes?
Woman: We are calling from SMU. You made an appeal to the Business course, yes?
Me: Yeah?
Woman: Your appeal is successful. Would you like to accept the offer?
Me: Successful?!?! (the fuck)
Woman: Yes.
Me: Uh when would I need to confirm my decision?
Woman: By today actually. Can I call back at around 10?
Me: (hell no!!)

And so in the welcome ceremony I was too preoccupied to actually listen. In the end I chose to go over to SMU so I'm now a fully matriculated business student in SMU.
It did make me sad when NTU sent an email wishing me all the best and stating that I need to submit a withdrawal form. It's like bittersweet. Although Business was what i wanted all along, I had grown accustomed to the idea of studying Psychology and pursuing a career in it, it sounded so interesting too.
So I made a life changing decision and basically I have abandoned my Psych dream forever ;/ dramatic as it sounds, it probably is true. I have in fact changed the whole course of my life because I'm goign to a completely different university, different cultures, different friends... all I can pray and hope for is that I will make this decision the right one.
Even though now I do have a little regrets here and then. Like when I have to go through the bidding experience and see the words 'Calculus' and 'Financial Accounting' appearing in my schedule instead of 'Biological Psychology' or 'Forensic Psychology', and when I'm reminded how competitive SMU's students will be, I often tend to sit back and wonder if staying in NTU might be the right decision.
But I made my choice so I'll suck it up no matter what! haha.

And because Wei Yan kept scaring me and saying SMU girls are super well-dressed, I accompanied her to go shopping and bought a few tops and this pair of brown boots that I really like! It's those boots with laces and rugged soles, a bit army-ish and well, idk how to describe! Maybe I'll take a picture when I have time and edit this post.
I liked this pair but they didn't have my size so Wei Yan took it since it was her size.. I found another one at another shop at a more expensive price, and more lacking in design.. ): oh well but it's more comfy. Haha.
I said before I wanted high top sneakers, I guess this pair of boots will be its replacement :)
Anyway my Zara boots are kinda falling apart despite my attempts to keep them together with notsotrusty super glue.
