today i received an unexpected good news… NYU sent me a mail saying that they have decided to give me a scholarship… i was clearly heady and ecstatic, i mean, come on!, until i read a little further down.. the award is only worth 3500USD per semester (which coincidentally, i have no idea how it works there).

And they wrote that as a recipient, i have to score better than the average grade in the course which is above 3.6 in GPA… so the pressure of doing well is already starting… tamade… i am ah beng.. keeping myself awake in class would already be a challenge.. (i am used to self study)

but in the last line they wrote: “congratulations on your selection as Wagner Public Service Scholar!”

eh.. dun play play, scholar sia… hahaha
