♥ unproductive

i was meant to do my report over the weekend. but somehow i've only done 179 / 2600 words.


and i didn't even go out anywhere (except work and church)...


UNPRODUCTIVE MUCH?


although, i must admit, i did some pretty good research / planning on saturday.


and i was planning to finish writing it on sunday....... but then somehow ended up taking a 3 - 4hr nap.

♥ Exhausted!

I am quite exhausted. There's been quite a few dinners and events over the past few weeks and it's definitely taken it's toll on me.


I went to the Lions Eye Institute to get a four hour eye check, as part of my participation in Raine Study.


Came home, and just konked out for over an hour...


Yup, definitely gotta cut down on going out these next few weeks, especially with the fahb essay due soon =[


Well I think I've sorta settled into Medicine - or at least, I haven't broken down recently - those two times in the first two weeks of uni was surely enough....


I guess I'm trying to rest - but really it's easier said than done =/


Anyways.. heapsssssss of work to do... =[ better start!

♥ on it's way to completion

so i've been working on this psyc lab report that's due on monday, worth 35%

and totally happily said to my boyfriend
"i've finished nearly 20% of it and it's like a whole 5 days more til it's due!"

and he gave me this weird look and said that shouldn't it be a bad thing that i haven't finished it yet and there's only 5 days left.

haha. i guess it's because lately i've been leaving my assignments to the last two days (usually the weekend) to begin and finish (in the early hours of the morning on the day it's due) so i'm pretty happy that i've set aside time to do it earlier.

it's called time management! and i'm learning. slowly but surely!


645 / 2500 :) 26% done man! pretty happy with that.

♥ the essay.

you were a pain in the butt...


so glad you're over and done with!

i was up at 6am finishing this thing. i rushed to bed after i realized that the sun was up and my dad was going to get up soon (didn't want to hear a lecture...)

yup surviving on two hours sleep today but surprisingly i'm not THAT sleepy (yet)

i quite hate this unit :( gotta make the most of it though..

♥ Last minute stuff


I never use to stay up til 4/5am in the morning doing assignments. I know i'm usually still doing it the day before it's due... But not usually to this extent! I wonder what's changed. Last month i used the excuse that my parents were away. This time i had a whole study week! Yet still ended up finishing it at 4am the day it's due. 

Ahh. I hate when my boyfriend is right =( reality is such a bummer... back to an organised study routine i go... Was i even on one before? Oh wells. Need one now. Maybe i should try the things chris recommended... Sighs.

♥ busy week

sunday.
skipped church and continued to work on 2209 literature review in the morning, went to cambodia 'compulsory' meeting at 230, then straight to uni to continue working on the assignment. moved from scibry to mcl at around 6... then ended up going home at around 9/10ish. slept at 5am - latest i've ever stayed up for an assignment i think.

monday.
woke up at 8ish to get to uni by 9. drank my soup outside science cafe while chris read through my lit review. group meeting from 10am, handed in lit review at 11:45am, assessed lab debate 12pm, home to recover from lack of sleep. watched an awesome ep of criminal minds while painting my nails with some opi, suzie says feng shui.


remembered how much my dog loves smackos. no joke. the commerical doesn't lie. 
jacko goes wacko for smackos.

tuesday.
woke up... watered the plants, started dad's car, played with the dog, fed the dog brekky... off to uni i went, picked up kfc on the way for the bf and myself. waited outside physics for josh to finish class to give him his food, bumped into chris who was on the way to class. went to my stats class, then MCL to work on stats assignment. home for tutoring.

wednesday.
woke up, went to uni, picked up red rooster on the way for the bf and i. met up with him to eat, the straight to MCL to work on assignment again. i hate when MCL is completely booked out - all the computers are not even being USED. i don't know why they don't leave one block free -___-" followed josh to reid for about 15 minutes, until rob called me and said it had unbooked as it had just passed 12pm... worked on assignment, stat class at 2, tute at 3, camped at MCL all night with these two guys that i befriended from my stats class. while one went to pick up some equipment or something, i went to dinner with rob...

it's really confusing because there are three robs i know this semester, two are in my stats class (asian rob and tall rob) with one of them also doing psyc (tall rob), and then there's the other rob whose doing psyc and is in my lab (white rob) and i did the debate with. but yeah, so i have these three robs in my phone address book, and i keep accidently messaging / calling the wrong one.. zzz. 

so anyways, asian rob insisted we went to grilled because he dislike broadway :( and wanted to eat proper food.



the meat pattie thing is quite healthy o___O...
the chips are good!

uhh bacon and cheese something something burger

looking at their production line style reminded me of something we learnt in mgmt about specialisation and when you do the same small thing over and over again (e.g. spread the bun with sauce) it gets boring, repetitive and job satisfaction decreases.

production line at grilled

adam joined us back after picking up his thingo and then we camped at MCL til about 1am.

this is adam. in MCL. at 1am was it?

thursday.
woke up a bit after 11... reached uni at 1ish... called work to ask if i could come in later... went to visit lecturer for assignment help... went to reid to photocopy stuff and bumped into helen who was heading to work and i asked her if she needed a lift since she worked in the same shopping center as i... still had a bit of time so went back to mcl for a while then left to go to work... it was quiet so i asked if i could leave early. went home, cooked rice, showered, packed lunch, fed the dog, made tea, left to uni. camped til just after 2am. went home, slept at 3am

friday.
woke up at 9:30... reached uni at 11:10am. went through stats assignment one last time before handing it in, worked on stats lab for that week. went for lunch at 1pm with adam and asian rob. $8.50 asian buffet... not far from uni either. errr food wasn't awesome. but $8.50 buffet? what do you expect?


went back to uni, printed a map of how to get to the airport at eng. called chris who just finished class and was about to head into the city. so figured i'd might as well tag along since i had an hour to kill. waited for him, drove to nb, walked around looking for mooncake [SIGH. surprised it was quite hard to find the type i was looking for]

walked him to k3g for his haircut. picked up this mooncake that i had settled on while walking back to the car.


pretty proud i made it to the airport from the city. considering i've never driven that route before. google maps on your phone is so handy. uber hate traffic though. cars were barely moving on tonkin.
ate some mooncake while waiting for parents at the airport. picked them up.. drove into that "pick up" bay to see my dad's worried/horrified  face at the front/side bit of the car. kinda freaked out thinking i had dented it unknowingly. but it was because the tyre was flat. when we got home dad checked it and it had a nail in it... [PHEW it was the day my parents got back and not while i was driving  home from uni at 2am haha]

anyways. parents are back. YAY for homecooked meals. and new shoes. and no more needing to feed the dog and water the plants. *hugs parents* you really learn to appreciate them when they're not around and you have to fend for yourself.

♥ Christmas decorations already!!!


Can't believe david jones have already decked out the christmas decorations. Like seriously. It's only august.
Our tree probably won't even going up til december... That's if we can even be bothered to put it up this year
In lifegroup we watched this video about all these different faiths from different parts of africa. It was a tad weird. Like the voo doo stuff was really O.O like they believed if you got the intestine of this male lizard thing and put it inside a female lizard body, it would improve you love life. And like really superstitious stuff like that... It was interesting though. Some of them had like animal sacrifices and stuff and that really grossed me out hey.

on other news, stat assignment is killer. It's really hard T.T i don't know how i'm going to finish. Spent like 4 hours today on it and got stuck on every question. Just feels like everything's piling up again and i can't find time to fit it all in. If only there was more hours in a day. Or if i was superwoman. Unfortunately i'm not. So one thing at a time. Step by step.

anyways sorry about large number of posts today. Quite happy i got this m.blogging working. And yes. Finding it quite convenient. However right now my tummy is calling for food. So toodles.

♥ #445 sleep catch up

well caught up on some sleep this morning.

i've decided not to go to uni's on thursdays anymore. just no point spending hours in transport just to go for two lectures then having to rush to work afterwards.

especially when i can well, ilecture them at home.

a stat assignment due next week, a debate and literature review due the week after. 5 more weeks until my research article annotated bibliography is due. and 6 weeks until my essay is due. and 8 weeks until my lab report is due. oh yeah and the stat assignments we'll be getting every 3 weeks or something.

this year, the assignments have been quite varied. it's not just the "two lab reports" and a few stats assignments inbetween. it's been like essays, literature reviews... and an annotated bibliography O__O. i've never written a lit review or bibliography so lets hope it turns out okay. i feel more prepared for my lab reports though, having done quite a few over the past year and a half. ahh psyc *hearts*

it's going to be quite a busy weekend with some events (including the birthing kit workshop) and yeah should really get started on that literature review or at least the research part of it

i am amazed at how quickly ilectures get put up! (it's like almost instant rght after the lecture's over!)

time to ilecture :)

p.s. 445th post! insane much? :)

♥ results so far

i am very happy with my uni results so far..

my favourite has been my psyc2212 lab report. like zmgsh! my highest lab report mark like ever.


yeah ... rounding is AWESOME.. 
reminds me of getting rounded up to an A in chemistry in yr 12 LOL.

however, i must keep it up, because i hear my maths units get scaled epically =( so despite thinking i'm on track, i could totally be so far...

and i really need to finish off with HDs in each unit to up my gpa

but yes my goal of scoring above 75 in everything has been going well =)

stat test tomorrow, another lab report due monday, psyc quiz tuesday and stat assignment due nxt fri.

then after that, two more assignments and then exams!

♥ VROOOOOOM

tsktsk. haven't blogged in nearly a week! how very bad of me.

so what have i been up to?
uhh =/.... *checks diary*

oh yes, thats right.

had my first assignment due monday. man i hope i got a hd for it, its only worth 10%, but yeah =( wasted more time on it than i should have.

i started tutoring again, for the year. same student as last year, and her little brother too. they've got some state testing thing coming up, so prepping them up for that...
saturday i had work, then victa's '90s bday at night xD. did the regional judging for yoty on sunday. such a super long day heyy... started at 9pm, got home at like 7:30pm. it was hot too... but a good experience i guesss

anyways. TODAY i drove a MANUAL CAR. and it was louis' AHAHAA. so many cars honked at me =[. i haven't driven manual in like 4 months OKAY -___- i forgot to change to 2nd gear...... which made the car jerk heaps... zzz

but w/e, louis car is like pretty hard to drive. looking forward to nig letting me drive his =D...

money wise, i'm really proud of myself for how much i've saved. however. if i step back and look at it.. i've actually spent quite a bit, even though i've saved more than half of what i earntt...

half way there to a car. however i believe that my trip to malaysia in june will eat into a chunk of my savings, unfortunately.

so i got this free phone from work. which im trying to sell for $200. then i want to use that money to buy myself another phone (one that i actually want) for $350. 

YES OKAY. so in actual fact i'm just spending an extra $150 then i have to. i've had josh, my mother AND louis tell me that it's pointless and silly. because my contract expires end of yr. but thats SO FAR AWAY.

andAND i want the new samsung jet in white NOW =[ and i should be able to treat myself!!!!!!!!!!! esp for working ALL of summer. GEEZ.

plus when my contract ends i'll prob get a more hardcore phone. can u believe it, i'm actually considering the iphone, even though i hate apple. or i really like the n97 mini xD... but who knows. by the end of the year a new range of phones will be out *sighhh* working at a phone store makes u even more phone crazyy!~

anyways, i'm becoming quite a fan of this gumtree website. thats where i advertised my f480. might also put up an ad for my ball dress / bridesmaid dress... and get rid of some of the stuff thats sitting around in my room haha.

ANYWAYS. off to work i go.

♥ results & random thoughts

chem mid sem: 85.3
human bio essay : 83.5
stats test 1: 85.7

psyc report: results out monday.


weeee, those results make me happy. but i know i've slacked off the past few weeks. NOT GOOD for my gpa, so will need to get back into it (very difficult while having a cold and feeling like all i want to do is sleep)
anyways just some random thoughts.
  • i don't understand how or why people get reallyyyyreallyyyyy drunk all the time. it's dangerous. and i dont' really see the fun in looking like a fool?
  • chicken burgers at the tav aren't too bad.
  • one day i shall have to go and try a lemon lime bitters from the tav, it's only 3 bucks.
  • being cheated on a horrific thing. and i can't imagine what it would be like, dealing with that. and i hope i shall never have to.
  • i bought my most expensive bottle of coke at the airport on the weekend. 600ml. $4.50
  • sticking by someone when they've hurt you is really difficult. sometimes you feel like just letting go, but you know that you could never do so.
  • sleep is awesome.
  • codral is also awesome.
  • no more chem labs for the rest of semester. YES!
  • i've done my marks book for the semester, and i'm going to try to aim for 75+ for every subject in an attempt to up my gpa.
  • doctors make mistakes. i hope someone doesn't die as a result of my mistakes. i could get sued.
  • there was an uni email sent arnd abt some diabetic company looking for undergrad students to work in their labs at uni. 6 - 8 hrs a wk. nxt yr. i might apply. it sounds pretty cool.
  • i lost my coin purse today. i walked back all the way to my psyc lab to look for it. found it with my soothers still inside. but no lipbalm. i thought someone stole it. but by the end of the day realized it was in my pencil case x)
  • i hope i can pull off a hd for maths this sem
  • i still haven't completely finished unpacking
  • i want satin black heels =[
  • i want a romantic candle light dinner =[ *COUGH*
just joking :) ran outta thoughts, until nxt time!

♥ s e v e n

after a full day at uni, i was exhausted, because i didnt fall asleep til after 2am.

it's the last day today. i 'bumped' into him at the anhb lab place. i actually had a purpose of being there, and it had to be at that time too. but then again, i dont think i would have gone out of my way to "avoid" him anyways x)

we also talked on the phone for a bit about tomorrow. so yes. really, its just been getting slacker as the days progress, whoops >__>. but i'm feeling rather satisfied from this break. it's given me the space that i needed. and it's helped me make up my mind abt a few things. and i'll keep reminding myself that its a good option to go when things aren't going well.


i have a pretty cool surprise set for tomorrow. but i don't know how 'cool' it is anymore. hopefully it all works out. i'm quite excited.

i have realized i have no money. actually wait, i do have money. but not as much as i did a month or so ago. i shall have to spend wisely. esp since i'm not working so much anymoree due to weddings/holidays etc coming up...

i leave for ballarat in like ONE week. i didn't realize it was so soon. oh dear. should really begin speech writing.

human bio quiz nxt wk, it's on like SIX topics, compared to the usual two. arghhh!

marks all come out nxt wk (except psyc report) for the midsems/assignments... hopefully that will give an indication of how i'm going, and what subs i need to work on the most.

anywayssss, less than ten hours to go. i sound like a kid going to their first bday party :) excited much?
