You know, all that apprehension about that Lowell poem was pretty much for nothing, I'm pleased to say. Had my one-to-one debrief today with Brockbank and he basically told me I needed to have more confidence in myself. In his own words, my "self-confidence is founded" because I "write well". Yay. My essay was "subtle and rewarding" especially when dealing with such an "elusive" poem. WHEEEE. That really makes me feel better about myself. OH and the biggest compliment was when he said I'm "bright, intelligent and sharp" omg hahahhaa. I'm like bouncing all over the place cos I'm really really happyyyy.

Ah but there were some bad stuff too. For two years, people like Dio, Suhaili, Champagne, Mr Chia.. have been telling me that I can be more succinct when it comes to writing. Now Brockbank says I'm too long winded ha. So now my new motto is "CONCISE AND PRECISE". Seems like I've not kicked that habit since A Level :( Oh and I had no idea I was using so many "also"s in my essay! Brockbank pointed out like 15 "also"s! Gasp.

Oh and regarding my flight back.. I haven't mentioned anything cos it's not confirmed yet. There's this tiny problem that I can fly to singapore but I don't have a flight BACK TO YORK. We're still on waitlist and the deadline's 4th Dec so let's all keep our fingers crossed yep? If everything works out I'll be coming back on 18th Dec and flying back on 6th Jan.

Cross your fingers and toes and eyes and whatever can be crossed!
