I know. I
know.
It's been
nearly nine months since my last post.
And then I
wonder why I don't have enough readers.
I wish I
could get away by saying that I've been incredibly busy, but I know bloggers
like Nida who, despite
their taxing schedules, never forsake their blogs.
I
should really try and follow their examples.
I suppose I
ought to shed some light on what I've been up to the past few months so I'll
give you a brief summary of that below:
After
giving my
SATs, I had my MOCKs in March followed by my final CIE A Level
examinations. Thereafter began a summer 'vacation' that promised to test the
limits of my endurance by showering me with a multitude of university entrance
exams. Since I took both Math and Biology in A Levels, I applied to both Engineering and Medical
universities.
I will not
bore you with the drab details of it but I assure you that the months of July,
August and September were probably the most emotionally grueling days of my
life. It felt as if my entire future hung in a delicate balance. It made me
wonder at times why I was getting so worked up over university admissions
although there are much higher things in life to strive for. But all I did was
keep my head down and doggedly push on ahead.
This ordeal
finally ended on the 23rd September when the most dreaded of entry tests-the
MCAT- was held. Alhamdulillah, it went a lot better than I expected
(considering that I had to rote learn books of a completely different board in
two months)
Tomorrow,
the merit lists are finally going to be uploaded and we'll find out which
medical college we made it into. I hope everything goes well, In sha Allah.
I'll keep
you updated!
