Alright, forget that I said whatever I did. DMCP is not gonna happen. I'll just have to find another way out.


--------------------------------------------------

OK, here's the deal: I betrayed myself and applied for RMIT's Marketing instead of SUNY's Double Major in Communication and Psychology for $40k, and my heart is biting back.

I am interested in marketing, I am. But if I take on the latter - let's call it DMCP for short - I'll have more options. I'll be able to branch into events and advertising and do away with all that sales stuff that people love to term as marketing while still having the option of pursuing journalism if I ever get good enough.

DMCP sounds like a dream, right? But for some reason, the course, as with all SUNY courses, is priced at a whooping $57 780, minus the cost of coursebooks. To be fair, it's a four-year programme, but then again with that money I could take up two degrees and still have some left over.

If I do take up DMCP, it means that we'll either have to scrimp like crazy because dad has decided to completely retire or take up a bank loan, which would be quite stupid. And I still can't get over the fact that they haven't saved up for my education. I guess it's fair then; I'm not the only one who failed someone.



To make things worse, I just found out that the Marketing course doesn't even offer an honours programme, which is what I had planned to aim for. I'm not sure if DMCP has it but I sure hope it does because I need to know that I can make it to the top, at the very helm of things. Because I've finally matured, and because this isn't FDM- this is something I actually like.



One cool thing about SIM is that it has a pool club. That means free pool right? Definitely gotta train for that. Pear, will you please transform me into a pool goddess?
