♥ 2 down, 2 to go
this semester i don't seem as stressed as i was last semester.
i did have one day where i felt uber stressed out during study break. but after chris prayed for me everything suddenly didn't seem so overwhelming.
so i've had two exams so far, and they've been okay, not great or super awesome but just okay. hopefully enough.
i sorta had this goal this semester to get straight hds. after all i did pick units that i was good at.
what i forgot though, was despite picking maths units (and thinking that i'm good at maths)
there are super nerds who also love maths and is in my unit. So considering my class has like 20/30 people in it. Scaling is going to whoop me.
But, must stop self handicapping myself and making excuses.
It's possible. Lets just hope I can do it.
I've been quite happy with my marks so far this semester.. it's just these exams... RAWR>>
So i've got a week until my next exam, which will allow for a little bit of rest and some good preparation!

♥ as the semester draws to an end
well this week is the last week for the semester...
and so the other day i was thinking of the new friends i made this semester
i met a couple, but only sorta stayed in contact throughout the semester with a few (mainly through sitting next to each other in labs or class)
so during maths i met lucy, edward and i guess i kinda met sago there too
in stats i met rob and carol... and lucy and sago were also in this class.
in psyc i met alethia in my 2203 lab... didn't really meet anyone in 2212, although i did have some good intro convos with a few... the friendship never followed through. and in my lectures i had like christine, david and gab already haha.
oh and then you get the people you meet through other people or through other ways like unimentor...
like i met quite a few of christine's friends this semester too
but anyways, the point of this post was to say that i guess it was good that i did units that i didn't know anyone else was doing, because it provided me the opportunity to venture out and meet new people and make new friends, which i otherwise might not have bothered doing.
but yeah it really helps heapss, makes it easier to pick groups for group assignments, to be able to ask each other for help on stuff we don't understand, and just for the company in class or during breaks.
so now i just gotta focus on owning exams =)

♥ dt + green tea ice cream = a happy dt
green tea icecream
YUM!
i blame the girls for getting me into it..
but i found out the japanese restaurant in broadway sells it for $2.50 and it was really creamy hey.
and then the next day i went looking at kongs also in broadway, and they sell an italian version, which was really nice also for $2.50
and i remember last time i went with a few of the girls to that asian restaurant on the corner and got some there to.
eventually, i would have tried all the green tea available in broadway! that shall be my mission for the rest of the semester. should be pretttyyy easy :)
so anyways today i had my first maths test, and i really did a lot of practice questions in preparation, so i felt good with the amount of work i did. alas i did not study the theory aspect however.....
so i made that part up, but writing something is better than nothing (as long as what i wrote doesn't make me sound stupid =/...) so hopefully i still end up with a decent mark..
now i must admit, i am getting slightly stressed with my workload. and i feel sorta stupid about it, because at this point of my life, i am actually not doing that much (outside uni and work) in comparison to my high school days. so these stress levels are not what i would expect. i think it has to do with motivation, rather than just a time issue.
so it's mid semester break next week... and despite being a nice holiday for most, unfortunately that is not the case with myself =[...
it will consist of a lot of easter related events / church services, two lifegroups, two birthdays, quite a few days of work, yoty state finals, and of course studying for all my tests and doing all my assignments.
two tests (psyc & stats) and one assignment (stats) due the first week back, another assignment (psyc lab report) due the week after... not the mention more assignments and tests to finish the month of may.
SIGH.
oh and did i mention? my parents have departed on their little adventure... leaving me with my sister. and you might all be thinking that this is great and tthat i love it, but really when my parents are gone, my sister is just as (if not more) protective than my parents... GREAT!
and she always leaves me to do all the watering of dads plants, and feeding the dog and all that....... -.-"
anyways, i should stop procrastinating and complaining and do something useful.
sigh, could really do with some green tea icecream right about now...

♥ the joy! <3
FINISHED EXAMS!!!!
WOOOOT!
stats was so so... =/... it was like 30% theory which is my epic downfall. so not very happy about that. not sure if i can scrape a hd for it, but i hope so >.<
soon i will be compiling a list of things i plan to accomplish over the next three months...
but in the meantime it's time to RELAX.
and fill out my vodafone contract (must stop spelling it as vodaphone) which i received in the mail today =D... (just in time too, i was going to call them tomorrow because i hadn't heard from them!)
DRIVING TEST tomorrow... EEEEKKKK!
P.S. Went to Retro Bettys in leedy today for dinner with my sister in 'celebration' of end of exams (for me... she still has one to go. actually she only has one exam altogether!) Her treat! =D
and yes :) not bad at all! i quite liked it. i got a bistro burger with egg :) we also had wedges and salad for sides.
Holidays, here i come :)!

♥ 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.

♥ the world and me
dear ditza
when you get grumpy upset or annoyed at the slightest of things...
remember that it is not the end of the world.
that it doesn't revolve around you.
and instead stop to look and see what's going on.
how people are hurting.
and not just focus on how much you get hurt over little things.
but the bigger problems others maybe going through.
stop being selfish and open your eyes.
take care,
your thoughts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
okay. i might have possibly failed that stat test today. and no i'm not joking. there are tests that i do where i write stuff down that i'm not sure i'm right, but at least i wrote something down. this time, i left 25% off questions blank, as in total blank.. and i wasn't even confident about my other answers. so yes. not happy.
i have been uber moody lately. i can't even blame it on pms. stess, maybe. not really been sleeping as much as i should be either. yesterday i didn't even eat lunch or breakfast. i felt kinda bad chucking it out when i got home... i think i was like studying in the library.. and u can't eat in there =[... so i survived on sultanas that day. i wasn't really hungry anyways.
don't worry. i'm not anno~ i had red rooster today =]! i'm getting slightly addicted to the mini strip wrap and chips for $2.95 ~ it's such a bargain.
must start mantaining my money and open a proper savings account, the zonta bank cheque finally cleared. but i'm already eating into it... so yes. not good.
loving the sunshine we're getting. too bad it's not holding up this weekend, but it'll be back next week. wearing shorts, thongs, tshirt and sunniessss is awesome.
exams kinda soon. my marks book is filling up. psyc is the only one waitin for an exam mark, and if i can scrap a 77% in that i might actually score a hd, but the prospects of that is looking kinda slim atm.
dude i hope i scored 65% for that stat test today. either way i will have to own the exam to pull off a hd, GAH!
oh dear stats, i thought we had such a good thing going on! why must you break my heart?

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)

♥ 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 -.-"

♥ day 6: cleaning
i hate cleaning. really, i do.
it's such a hassle. and i really never can be bothered.
i wonder what kind of house i'm going to have in the future. i've always liked a nice big modern looking one, yet one that has a 'home' feel to it...
but i guess. if i get a big house. it means i have to clean it...... zZZZZZZZZZzzzzz =( can't we hire a cleaner?
so anyways. we've having a few people over tomorrow for dinner. hence why im cleaning the house. because of my midsem, i have books and paper all over the dining room table. i'll probably just transfer ALL of that to my room (haha. 'transfer')
speaking of which, my maths mid sem... it was easier than i expected. there was a lil problem at the beginning because there wasn't enough exam papers and people had to write on paper while looking at the exam on the projector (doesn't work if you move onto the next question quickly)
my attempt to help them by setting up a double file on the projector failed miserably (but at least i tried)
so anyways. im an idiot. really i am. let me show u why.
f(x) =x³ + 3x² + 1
f'(x) = 3x² + 6x
f'(x) = 0
when x = 2
AND
when x = 0
ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz.
i was trying to factorise using completing the square and all that kinda crap. when really, all i had to do was factor out x to x(3x + 6) = 3x(x+2)
im an idiot.

chemistry is doing my head in.
ugh. so i'm ilecturing at the moment.
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!
help me God!~
