The Hours Just Go On and On Don't They

I hope I break it before it becomes a bad habit; today was the second time I left my iPod in my work drawer. Suppressing the general need to go "Pfft" at this small inconvenience, I do find myself less in need of traveling music ever since Holy Week, when I ran out of battery because of my computer abstinence. Nonetheless, music still is to me what being human is all about.

So the promised list, now that everything's in:
UCAS:
Philosophy, Politics & Economics (PPE), Oxford (TSA, The Oxford Interview): Unsuccessful
English Literature, King's College London: Unsuccessful
English Literature, University College London (UCL): Unsuccessful
English Literature, Durham University, St Cuthbert's Society: Conditional, Firm, Appealed, awaiting reply
Politics & Philosophy, London School of Economics & Political Science (LSE): Unsuccessful
Common App (SATs):
Political Science, New York University (NYU): Unsuccessful
Political Science, Harvard University: Unsuccessful
Political Science, Yale University: Unsuccessful
Local:
Arts & Social Sciences (FASS), National University of Singapore (NUS): Successful; FASS Scholarship/Award (Interview pending), Global Merit Scholarship (Applied, referral and all, awaiting news)
Business, Nanyang Technological University: Successful (Nanyang Scholarship, Interview invited; not sure about the rest I applied for)
Law (Bachelor of, LLB), Singapore Management University: Successful (All Scholarships applied for, no reply so far)
Public Service Commission 2009: Singapore Government Scholarship (Open)
Singapore Press Holdings (SPH): Application Complete, Awaiting this coming cycle for 2009/10 (this one deserves a 'heh', but it's entirely true; I would have totally submitted had it not been for their cycle that does not coincide with the rest of brightsparks/other local scholarship agencies)

So in one of the less climatic decisions I've made, now that I've mailed off the form accepting the conditions of studying Arts and Social Sciences in Singapore (one of three forms in the PSC envelope), I'll be accepting NUS' FASS offer after dinner.
