Howdy all, as the title says, I got my university results! And I like very much!

Crappy design -> 4 (62 % = Pass)
Game Studies -> 5 (66% = Credit)
Professional studies -> 6 (83% = Distinction)
Programming -> 7 (95% = High Distinction)

YaY! So that gives me a GPA of 5.5, which if I maintain that i’ll be eligible for the $3000 travel bursary! Nice! That’ll be handy for Japan… But if I get this JASSO scholarship thing I won’t be able to get the travel bursary, but the JASSO scholarship is way better. The JASSO scholarship allows me to get 150,000 yen on arrival in Japan, then 80,000 yen every month I stay in Japan. But yeah, either way I’m happy… just as long as I don’t drop below 5.5, otherwise i’d get the $2000 travel bursary, which is fine, but i’d prefer at least the $3000 one…

What I’m really proud of is my programming subject… I got a total of 95% of the marks! So in an entire semester, I only lost 5% worth of marks Pretty happy about that…

Yeah so all the pieces of the puzzle are falling into place. My friend Mitch, who I am going to Japan with next year, also got his GPA up to qualify. He’s studying a Bachelor of arts and he didn’t do too well last year and ended up on a GPA of 4, but he turned it right around whilst studying a bunch of IT subjects this semester and got his GPA up to a 4.583 or something wacky. Which is good, because if he needs a GPA of 4.5 to qualify for Japan. He’s got a bunch of IT subjects next semester as well so he’ll most likely be able to get that GPA up even more so.

I’m feeling really confident about making it into Kansai Gaidai, because the exchange officer said that they can be pretty flexible with numbers, so Kansai Gaidai may accept up to 3 people. But she said its flexible, so I think Mitch and I will be safe. Although I also realize that I am setting myself up to be very disappointed if we don’t make it.

Anywayz yeah! I’ll close up this blog… There’s more i wanna say but that’ll be in the next blog… which i’ll write right now.

Ciao for Now!
