My mum works in Shanghai for 3 weeks, comes back to Basel for a week. Technically I'm like single-parented now. But it doesn't really matter, I find. Soon, I'll be without my parents. And it's pretty soon. Like next year. 2013. When I graduate from high school... Urgh, the future seems so uncertain.
Hmm. Basel MUN 2012 was quite a success! I really enjoyed chairing my Environment Committee, although they were mostly first-timers at MUN. We didn't have the highest quality debates, but they were still pretty good for nervous 8th, 9th, 10th graders. :) Well it was my first timer chairing, so I hope I did a good job to make my committee as interesting as possible. Got some pretty positive feedback from them, so I'm really glad! :D Like about the structure of debates, the topics chosen (I thought of the topics by myself!) :P
And oh, recently I went to The Hague for a Maths competition. Koreans dominated again, but oh well, so many Maths topics such as Calculus I haven't learnt were tested, so I didn't do very well overall. :/ 120th out of 220 students? Ah well... Anyway I had loads of fun with Burcu, my team partner, and we shopped with our teacher in Leiden. Valentine's Day sales all around, so I got pretty cheap stuff. :) Better in the Netherlands than in Switzerland where things are all so ex hahaha. And Stroopwafels are AWESOME; I cannot get enough of them! :D
Currently catching the Korean drama series Dream High 2. Still pretty good, but I think I prefer the Dream High cast. :) I also watched Sweet Spy last week. :P I should cut down watching Korean dramas.
Still as clueless as ever about what to study for university. Registered for the May SAT and planning to take SAT subject tests in June if possible. Sigh. UK or US?? And WHAT to study? :S I'm going on a UK uni tour in mid-March, so hopefully I'll get some inspiration...
I chose to do a Maths Extended Essay. Perhaps in the field of spherical trigonometry. I still don't know what exactly to research on. But first, I guess I have to self-teach the fundamentals of spherical trig since it's not covered in the IB Maths HL syllabus...
That's about the highlights of my life now.
