interesting times

Korean politics is just starting to get really amusing.
The candidate from the Grand National Party (Kim Taeho) won the reelection in Gimhae, the birthplace of former president Roh Moohyun.
But the Democratic Labor Party's candidate won in Jeollanamdo - way to go opposition coalition!
And the most impressive of all - Bundang Eul district voted for Son Hakgyu from Minjudang (Democratic Party) instead of Kang Jaeseop from Grand National Party!
It's kind of funny because Son Hakgyu used to be a member of the GNP when he was governor of Gyeonggi Province.. (what an opportunist! changing party affiliation whenever it raises the chances of him getting elected...-_-+)
I'm really excited about the recent changes in the traditionally uber-conservative Bundang district (where I live and vote). Sad to think that I won't be here for the next parliamentary elections! :( I'll try to find out how I can vote overseas.. although it probably involves visiting the consular office in Chicago or New York or the Embassy in Washington, D.C. Another reason to hope I get into a school in one of those cities.. preferably NY!!!

But I have a bad feeling I'll be waitlisted at Cornell too-_-;;;;;
being waitlisted SUCKS man. I keep getting the feeling that if only I applied earlier, I would have been accepted to at least a couple of the schools I've been waitlisted at. Oh God I really hope I get accepted to Cornell.. I don't want to lose to J twice!
As of now I'm really hoping I can get into U Michigan, but I'm not so sure whether I'll want to go there if I don't get a scholarship. The scholarship offer at UIUC is just so... big! And I probably won't get a merit scholarship at Michigan (or anywhere, since it's already the end of the admissions cycle..T^T)

I really, really wish this uncertainty would end. Soon. ASAP.
