Overconfidence

, as with expectations, will only bring about disappointment.

The mother is right about this.
Just because my friends/coursemates got them, doesn't necessarily mean I will.
Hence I have decided to give my application a shot first.
If I don't get it, at least i've tried. I will then move on to prepare a different portfolio to apply for the other option. Both do contribute to what I wish to do, just that the latter is more practical than the former, in terms of... future survivability. (And it's kind of more exciting luh) Not forgetting that it's more difficult to pick up than Illustration, because it's more complex all around - and I don't know where and how to start it when i'm on my own.

But either way...Going whereever; doing whatever, is better than staying stagnant and undecided.
