Student Exchange Programme

I'm targeting to go Japan for my Student Exchange Programme (SEP). From past records, universities in Japan has been the toughest for students like me to get in. I just hope things will go smoothly. I need miracles to happen.

Things that are working against me for this application.

1) My results aren't that fantastic.
2) Totally have no idea how mapping of modules work.
3) Money is still an issue but I'm working towards the "ideal" amount.
4) My parents aren't kept in the loop, shall tell them when everything is done.

It's quite an irritating thing that I've always envied kids who are raised in an environment way better than me. In conversations, my mind automatically does this "mental comparison" upon hearing living conditions of others. I can't help but turn a "green-eyed monster" knowing their lives are so well taken care of. Guess that's just me. Perhaps comparison makes the better out of me.

I work for my own money. I dislike the fact that kids nowadays just ask for money without knowing the true value of it. It's rather distasteful. Perhaps I'm just a sour grape. Knowing other kids get the privilege of "free" money and I'm just not entitled to any of them.

Jealousy kills but I think comparison kills the most. I'm crapping too much. Now the title doesn't even match the contents of this blog post. whatever.
