I finally managed to get myself to stop inwardly freaking out and settled down to talk to my parents about studying in Australia. I came down with about 60 pieces of paper stapled, highlighted, and organized. They were very impressed. And asked me why I don't put that much effort into everything else I do. xd

So they now know how dedicated I am. I told them that I really just need help with tuition. I can pay for my travel expenses on my own and James and his mom are going to help me with my living arrangements.

I need to find some more colleges though. University of Melbourne looks amazing but you need an SAT score of 2016! eek That's insanity. I did pretty badly on the PSATs. I'm just not a test-taker. I fail at standardized tests. And it's mainly because I panic and get frustrated easily during tests, especially ones of great importance. I think now I've finally begun to find some way to settle my nerves because I aced all of my finals without a sweat. So I might do really well on the SATs.

But 2016?

No way. @_@

But University of Melbourne is also extremely expensive. La Trobe is cheaper, so I need to check them out more.

But what's important is that my parents said that they would consider it and that they'll talk to James's mom about it further sometime soon. So James and I need to arrange that.

God, this might actually work. whee
