TOEFL... The Result

Yay! The result of my previous TOEFL was arrived this morning. Finally...

The score: 263 (computer based). The details: Listening: 30, Reading: 27, Structure/Writing: 22 (with Essay scored 4.5). I always knew that I am suck with structure and writing, but to my surprise I get almost perfect score on reading and perfect score on listening. Sweet... =)

Well. I guess I am ready to step into another part of my life. Applying for postgraduate study... huh? Really, I am thinking about it! Seriously...

Wish me luck on searching and applying! Btw, if you somehow know a good postgraduate school that had Information Architecture course as a part or as a whole study, please let me know... Where? Any place but The Empire of America will be considered. Why not The Empire? Besides very expensive? I had my own reason... 'nuff said.

AA & Bartlett in London are good schools. But they (UK) are US allies so i guess they’re out of the questions, huh :). Singapore’s NUS has a pretty good urban+planning program. Dunno about Oz. Try Malaysia, they have a good connection with education in UK. Some Japanese schools (have no idea what the names are). OW…DELFT in Netherland! Try Europe!! They have great schools out there. well…there u go. makin bingung daah….:P
