BB is in the midst of his prelims while GG’s starts next week. Both are stressed and I sometimes feel that GG is at breaking point. BB is the more chill twin between the two and I rarely see him stressed out. Which is also not a good thing, because some stress is good for you. I am worried about GG because she does not handle stress well and in times of immense stress, tends to blank out. I am hoping she copes with this stress and is able to bypass the blanking out she usually does.

I mistook the EAE result date to be last week, but it is actually next week and we are all stressed over it. In fact, I met some parents from BB’s school, all of whose children have applied for EAE (and a couple who are competing with BB for the same course) and all are praying hard that their children get into the course of their choice. Of course, at this point, it’s not if your child is not good enough for the course, but how good the other students are. Given that each course can only take in at the most 20% of its intake, there’s a limited number of seats available.

If either BB or GG or both don’t make it this time, then they just have to double up and work hard to ensure that they make the cut off point to the course and get in when the joint admission exercise happens after the O level results are declared in January.

That’s all this week! Have a great Sunday!
