♥ four down, one to go

hbio practical
psychology
hbio theory
chemistry
statistics

four down, one to go...

well, chemistry was kinda painful.

i mean yes. i was on 6 hours sleep, half a sandwich, a can of V... but still, the actually paper got me stumped quite a few times =[

will need to see a doctor about this vomiting thing. today was actually quite bad. and before u all freak out and think i'm bohlemic, it's actually just stomach acid or something... so i'm thinking it's like... an acid reflux problem. but will find out after exams...

AND ZMGSH. my chemistry book (which i only used for one semester) and bought nice and new from the coop shop is RUINED. i dried my flower petals in it.... (using baking paper as a sheet) and that worked perfectly fine for my tulips.. but NOOO not for the orchips. it had to go all yuck and seep through the paper. GAHHHHHHHH *fustration*........... now the back pages are stained..... T__T...

oh another note. i donated money and got a poppy flower from this nice old man outside the bus station.
it reminded me very much of the poppies i took a photo of, while on YOTY tour... in canberra, at the memorial place...

i didn't know which name to look for. so i just looked for the ones closest to my last name.



pretty huh? the poppy i got today looks just like that one.

alternatively, if you don't end up passing by someone selling them... you can download one as paying your tribute. techy much?

old people are kinda cute hey :)

♥ post #300

it's one of those nights. the ones where i don't feel like sleeping... or rather... can't fall asleep (and yes i've tried already).

weird, considering i got less than five hours last night, so i should be ready to konk... unfortunately this is not the case.


i wish i could escape reality for a while. the reality of... my exams. the expectations that my parents have for me, or rather, the expectations i have for myself. the numerous types of chemical reactions - gignard, williamson, fischer. the night time conversation with an indifferent boyfriend. the broken shoulder bag. the annoying flies during the day. the many unanswered questions for my future.

i want to sit on the beach. and watch the sunset. without stress, worry or concern. with freedom, peace and love.



maybe i'll go do that next week.

♥ two down, three to go

hbio practical
psychology
hbio theory
chemistry
statistics

it was alright, can't believe i forgot the footindoor/doorinface techniques T.T even after gabriel tested me on it only a few days ago.. GAH!

but 125 MCQ, can't really go wrong with that.

hoping i can pull off a 77 for that exam and scrape a hd... to make up for hbio/chemistry which will pull me down >.<

oh dear. hbio theory on thurs. chemistry on friday. hbio being the "new" subject, and chemistry being the "difficult" subject... and they just had to be next to each other =[

this morning, before my psyc exam, i sat at my favourite spot, and had some lemon V to wake me up :)




anyways... must also work on being less cold... and less awkward... and more 'normal'... but it's hard okay =[..
edit @ 8:04pm: i am going crazy. there is only so much i can take. how will i survive the next five weeks? it feels so lonely... so weird. like such a big part of me is missing. i sound stupid. i know. but i don't care. it's so hard...

♥ weird guy in chem class

the guy in my chem class sitting two rows ahead of me...

yeah he turned on his mac book and as his bg had a picture of three japanese girls doing japanesey poses.

let me just point out he's not japanese. or asian really =/

then he started watching a dvd about japanese girls running on the beach and playing in a pool...



it has subtitles.

now they're playing beach games in the sand in their bathers.

wth?


awkward.

---
edit @ 3:28pm
here's a better picture i took around 3/4 way through the lecture.



i found out the show was called morning musume.
and it's actually a band.. 





and yes when i saw their music vid (which the guy in my chem class was watching towards the end of the lecture) it reminded me so much of balloons by dbsk xD that kinda novelty.

which definately took me down memoryy lane with lauf ;) will post more later
off to work i go!

♥ hot weather is coming

i can't believe its forecasted to be 32 degrees this saturday...

and i will be stuck at reddot working from 10 - 4pm.

=[ instead of hanging out at the beach.




thinking of canceling looksmart on sunday. was going to work 10.30 - 3.30, but might need to study instead. even though double pay is so appealing, i don't particularly NEED the money... esp since i'm working heaps this wk at reddot :) still not in debt, so yay for financial freedom. will open one of those online saving account thingys soon so i can start getting interest!

exams are looming close. closer than i thought. sixteen days in fact. will try to average a fgpa of 6.5 this semester. but really, i'm happy with anything above 6.2. i hope my hbio mark is better than my anth mark last sem, or else i will be disappointed.

will try to keep everything over a 70 this sem (if anything, chem and hbio will be close)
neeeeeeeed to scrape a 80 for statsss (it's maths! I MUST maintain my love for it!) and hopefully for psyc too! because i didn't really try so much last sem for psyc. and it's not a bad unit, i quite like it.. even though i rarely go to lectures... it is interesting.

i still haven't figured what i'm doing next year. but yeah, it's not the time to lose motivation! must focus on exams... and not let it be a repeat of yr12.

attempting to use my uni breaks more constructively, and it's working. it's difficult when i only have one hr breaks most of the time... so it's not much time but at least we get through some stuff :)

waking up for 9am lectures is becoming increasingly difficult. i'm almost to the point of giving up and just ilecturing. but NO. MUST AT LEAST TRYYYYYYYYYYYY. gahgaghaghah.

that's it for now, i'm exhausted... was falling asleep in my chem lect today.

argh, but chem midsem... 30% is SO MUCH. for 35 multiple choice questions! thats like 0.85% per question!!!!!!!!!!!!! =[ gah. but at least its MCQ and marks aren't taken off if u get them wrong (like last sem gah-ness)

and i only got 66 as my final mark for chem last sem =( and i really need to be hitting that 75+ / distinction line this semester to up my fgpa... instead of making it go down! but chem will prob be my lowest mark this sem x)... like last sem ahaha, i shouldn't be happy about that!

sigh, uni marking is so slow, i really want my hbio essay back =( and my stats mark (even though i dont think i did that well)

the next week will be pretty busy to begin with... psyc report due & psyc lab & chem mid sem all on monday... i hope i can wake up early =[ because my sleeping patterns are a bit wack (yes, slept at 3am yest)...

♥ i am blessed

the past few weeks have been extremely difficult for me.

+ the stress of the lead up to the umat
+ the many trials and difficulties that put a strain on my relationship with josh
+ the feeling of seeing my first cadaver
+ the stress of beginning uni again, and picking up a subject that i have no background knowledge of
+ the fear of disappointment from my zonta club, once they hear of my setbacks
+ my parents going away, and the dog not eating, or having to spend much of my night doing things like washing or feeding the dog or preparing my lunch for the next day - instead of studying
+ the sickness and exhaustiveness that comes when you get ur period

there has been nights where i have just cried myself to sleep. nights were i have questioned God about His plans for my life. nights where i could hardly sleep. nights where i would just konk out due to pure exhaustiveness.

Chris Tomlin's music, has provided me with so much comfort these past few weeks. I listen to the album, Arriving, on shuffle and loop and repeat on my phone, josh's ipod and my laptop. I can't even pick one song to stick up on here, because i rekon they are all just awesome. Oh, here's one, i like how they put the words and images on this one..



as i reflect on the past year, and more so the past six months, i've realized some things. some things good. some things bad.

i believe i've become too emotionally dependant on my boyfriend. i believe i haven't been managing my time wisely. i believe i have been to quick to judge people.

but on a better note... i believe i've reached financial freedom. six months ago i was maybe $700 in debt. today, i am now a source for borrowing money from my family. i also believe i've been eating healthier. well slightly. im getting there, but i dont think i've had kfc for a while. hehe. and when it comes to regular exercise... i still haven't reached there yet. but i will! haha.

Late september, I will be flying to VIC to speak at the Zonta International District 23 Conference. Actually at the beginning of the dinner on Wed night, Alison had told me that the district couldn't jusitfy flying me over there for a 10 minute speech. But yesterday i recieved the good news, that after i left, the club decided that they would cover my expenses to fly me over there. I will probably leave on a Friday, and get back in time for uni on the Monday. so praise God =)

Well today i was meant to be working, but they took me off because a lady came in for the whole of the week to cover my manager who went for training. This will give me a good opportunity to get some things done.. e.g. clean my room... xD and catch up on the lectures i missed yest - oh dear, when buses go on strike... it sucks =(...

oh i bought some pretty boxes from work too (to put my shoes in) i bought the second and last one. the first one i've got a smaller version (well actually its joshs but for some reason its sitting in my room) and the third one i've got a big white version already from my birthday from lauf.

i think i have a gift box fetish. or it might just be because i work at reddot. xD but they're pretttyyy awesome.

oh oh i got my lab coat for chem xD its got the uwa logo on it ahahaha. i will take a picture of how nerdy i look in it and post it one day.

meantime... off to clean my room i go... but first i will get something to eat... mmm

♥ iHATEit.

im tired. grumpy. moody
haha, so forgive me if this blog isn't very pleasant.
pms is taking its toll. and it sucks xD

tomorrow i begin the prep courses for umat. the $695 courses, my parents paid for, in order to help me do better for the big umat on the 29th.

i am so sick of the umat. seriously. i raged on my bfs fb the other day about how frustrating and annoying it is. doing the online practice exams are killing me. they take so long. they mess up my mind. they frustrate and annoy me. i just want to tear the paper up. luckily its all online. and i wouldn't dare throw my laptop around. haha.

but, as much as i may hate it, i need to learn to put up with it. i need to own it. do well. so i never have to see it again! haha.

but right now, more than anything i need God. i have God. It's all good.

despite knowing that i NEED to do umat. i HAVE to do umat. i WANT to own umat...
im in such a mood that im so angry at it i wish i could just burn the stupid thing. gaH. i HATE it.

anyways. on a different note. results are out. hd, d, d, c.
argh c for chem. and d for anth - what the! and im droppin anth nxt sem.. picking up human bio.
i dont kno how thats going to help my gpa. a totally new unit (havent done it in yr 11/12 either) and then still doing the next sem of chem... =/ but droppin the arts sub that i got a distinction in..... uhh...
i was hoping i could scrap a hd for psyc too, but guess i didnt make it. i really want to know my exam mark, so i know what i got... but they only give u ur final unit results. and working it out myself doesn't really work because i still dont know if scaling occured.
anyways, moral of story.. i heart maths. i hope i got a 100 for that exam >__>. i was like one of the few who actually didn't leave within the first hour and a half of the three hour exam. jsut so i could check my answers and redo the whole exam haha. im so sadd........

anyways.. i should sleep so im wide awake for those prep coures -.-"

♥ yayayayay

exam progress: 4 / 4
psyc: completed
maths: completed

anth: completed

chem: completed


chemistry, i needed a 66% to hit the d that i wanted, it was borderlining it since chem isn't exactly the easiest subject in the world... but it was possible, so i'm hoping i made it!

WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. freedom feels good.

even though it's not absolute freedom... there are several things i need to achieve these holidays. and i'll list them for you.

1. complete the box of stuff (full of things to read) for my boyfriend to take with him on his longlong flight to america.

2. get my proof of age card.

3. find a driving instructor, and start driving lessons... and become a good driver =)

4. work work work. i've got a whole load of hours at looksmart, because the fulltimer is going away...

5. save save save... until i'm debt free, and even after that... i should really start having some savings in my bank account, rather than living paycheck to paycheck (sigh!)

6. shop shop shop. yipeeeeeeeeeeeee i've been putting it off for so longgggggg. but don't worry, i'll only buy stuff on sale, and things that i need... e.g. cardigan. boots. oh except for my air maxes...... i dont need them....... but footlocker = 30%? <3>

7. UMAT UMAT UMAT. umat prep! i took a break from it for exams, but its time to hit straight back into it now. because i'm going to teaRRRRRRr up those umat papers (just like i did for all my semester exams xD)

8. finish the Dreaming With God Book - for the sake of my lovely cell group leaders who i feel very sorry for, because we always rock up without having read anything =/ and it screws up the whole lesson plan they had set.

9. catch up with friendssss! i haven't caught up with quite a few of them for a whilee *cough my boyfriend steals all of my time xD cough* but i dont want to turn into that kinda friend... that loses contact with everyone =(... so time to organise some fun outings for everyone ^^

10. figure out what units i'm going to drop / pick up for nxt sem... and sort out my uni timetablee (oh please God, no more 8am classes, prettyyy pleaseeeeee)

11. make the most of it, yet also make sure i learn to relax, and have some alone time (i dont think i've spent a whole day at home bored + guilty free (aka not meant to be studying) in a longlong time...

to finish, i would just like to say, that the person who designed the ikea store layout was very smart, in that he only put one entrance (front of store) and one exit (back of store) so that you have to walk through EVERYTHING just to get out... hence ur more likely to buy more stuff...

but still.. ikea is awesomee...... <3

oh and my flowers died =(... they were already dying, but because i had a morning exam this morning and left my house early, i forgot to leave them in the sun. i'm going to dry to dry the orange oness... but the orchids are like impossible to dry.

♥ day 3 : tricky menus & stupid heavy chem books

lets talk about menus.

now, i've come to realize.. that people have different opinions. like lets say.. i might think stomach is really yummy! but then josh will be like =/... or maybe something thats really special to me, may not be as special to you.

so. today i went for dinner in nb with my sister, and i ordered "special chicken noodle" something something. and when i got it i was like "eh? they call that special chicken? its just the soya chicken?"

so. the restaurant.. and the menu... tricked me! special -__-" whatever.

another case where this happened, was when i was ordering food at uncle billys. i ordered yummy duck for them. only to realize it was just normal duck with YAM (EWWWWWWW)

again, the menu wins.

so. next time i look at a menu, i must be more cautious of the wording that describe the meal i'm about to order. words such as 'special' and 'yummy' is SUBJECTIVE. and not necessarily in my favor.

ANYWAYS.

that stupid chem book. is so heavy. i can't believe i carried it around all day~!
never going to do that again!

P.S. my sister couldn't stop complaining about the sink, because for the first two hours, the sink drain cleaner thing didn't work. according to her it was because i was "sting" and didn't buy the real draino xD.

P.P.S. i made a few new friends today in chem! handy, especially with the complicated chem topic we're suffering from atm.

♥ day 2

well today i bought that drain cleaner thing - in crystal form for $6. the liquid form was like $13. and pft... sif i'm going to pay that... -____-"

so im currently sitting in my room eating oven baked salmon. it tastes pretty good. but i've got no salad. so im guessing that a bit unhealthy. again, this is where the parents usually come in.

today was also my first day on the welcome team. which i was sorta put on, without much choice you could say. but i guess its a good opportunity... and some people say im a natural haha.

so lots of thoughts have been running through my mind all day. and now that i look back, i kinda realize how irrational i've been! tsktsk. i should listen to others more. and i should care. rather than 'not caring'. because essentially, i do care. i guess. i just dont particularly care at that moment.

hmm! that was random. sooo.. adding to this unhealthy streak. i've eaten half a block of duo cadbury. i ate some pasta before. and for lunch i had a taco and a milo... =/ uhh...

in about 20 minutes i've got to feed the dog..... but before that i need to shower and wash my dinner plate. then i've got to work on my chem prework (which i might add, it ever so confusing that i emailed my professor and got a very ......... email in return. sigh! owned...)

note to self: attend chemistry lectures.

but the problem is i can't see what he's writing on the board...
AND i don't get a word of what he's saying!

and my labs on monday T___T fail.

maths midsem on wednesday... mmm so far maths has been okay. differentiation! *thumbs up* but i still gotta catch up on the work that i missed while being in math1010. all that eigenvalue and ergonormal and subspace stuff o___O the stuff i didnt learn in yr 12!

so pressure's on. oh, and don't even remind me about umat prep.

mums going away. so it means more work around the house to do... no more brekkies (unless i wake up early to make it myself) and yes ... no idea whats going to happen with lunch.

argh, too much work. i'm stressing. sigh!

♥ chem test, gender & sexuality

70%

ouch!

its fustrating because it was silly mistakes. and i realized my mistakes after...

i thought i was okay. i checked my answers twice. i probably shouldnt have walked out earlier. and checked it a few more times. then maybe i would have picked up on my errors.

but i must admit, at least i knew the stuff. it wasn't like i was fluking anything or making stuff up. i knew the content. pretty good considering i usually leech of my graphics calculator (hehe @ chem in yr 12)

anyways. today in my anth tute we were talking about sex and gender. u know? babies born that are neither male or female... and they get operations (and the parents pick which gender)...

but another thing that came up was gender. and david was saying how when ur child ur very influenced by ur social context.... and i totally agree. u dress up ur kids. u give them the toys to play with. u make them learn their maths, or u let them play outside.

but a girl in our tute totally disagreed that ur gender (gender being ur sexuality in a non-biological way) is not influenced by ur social conditioning.

i guess it comes down to the debate of whether its "natural" or whether its "made" i guess. She was mentioning this experiment about 3 year olds who are "girls" but blatently refuse to wear girls clothing. and would only were boys clothes.

now seriously. u cant tell me a 3 year old can determine it's "gender" by refusing to wear clothes. geez. they were probably influenced by their environment and the people around them. maybe she saw boys wearing shorts and shirts. and she liked it. maybe she wanted to be like them. just because she refuses to wear the dress, does not mean she's determined her sexuality.

anyways. lots of people believe that its science and nature that determines whether ur more femine or masculine. and yeah i guess i could agree to an extent, ur hormones etc do play a role. but i guess they also brought up the point of "choice".. coming out of the closet.. etc.

but seriously? to think its purely based on biological reasons just seems absurd to me. a THREE YEAR OLD? there are so many flaws in that experiment, i dont know where to begin.

on another note. this 'after life' book im reading for anth... i just reached the part where he/she (biologically a he, but is a transvestite) is remembering his past.. and how he was raped by his stepfather etc....

argh. im only on page 88. and there's 178 pages altogether. and the stupid assignment is due friday. but im working thurs night. meaning i MUST finish the book 2moro.. and must at least get most of it done 2moro......
