It was a pretty crazy week, crazy start to August.

It started out quite bad on Monday, on my first day of school when I ended up spending more time holed up in toilet cubicles than in class, a total of 15 times til there was blood coming out, I panicked, saw a doctor and ended up getting diagnosed with gastroenteritis. Got the tuesday off and started feeling better after Wednesday.

From my last post it was still in my mind, how I was going to try to settle the payment for my school fees, 21k was a huge sum of money and I was about to take a bank loan with Maybank when I suddenly received an email from the school admin that told me that I was going to be awarded the LASALLE Future Leader Scholarship. I went to school the next day and collected the official scholarship letter (after dropping off my MC in the same room) and they awarded about 14k to me. Which means on top of the sponsorship deal I was to get from my Godmother, I would only need to pay 2.1k for the entire year, just 10% of the overall fees, how fucking awesome is that?

But of course all these come with great responsibilities, now that I'm technically a scholar, I need to adhere to some rules and regulations, I need to have a squeaky clean disciplinary record and I need to get consistently high grades. Level 3 is going to be a tough cookie, within the first week I already have 2 assignments due. But I guess this is just a start for things to come. The scholarship has already taken off a huge weight off my shoulders, I cannot afford to fuck this up.

And yesterday was my birthday and I have to say it was really one of a kind, a unique party. Not so much a party per se but it was really fun and chilled out and I'm glad the people who attended it enjoyed it. Now that things are starting to get on track, its time to reconfigure myself to get out of holiday mode and start working hard again, this is my final stretch and my objectives for the year are, to get 1st class honours, and to have my works exhibited at either Berlin or Cannes. It's possible.
