I know that I should most definitely be studying right now, and yet...I'm on LJ. Scratch that. I'm on freakin everything, everything except anything that's remotely related to studying.

I suck. I have no motivation. That sucks. Exam time is awful. I can't wait til a month of holidays, which is just over two weeks away. Two long weeks away.

I swear, I'm a champion procrastinator. I've had a week of study and I don't think I've even spent 50% of that time studying. Why oh why was I told that I could study Chemistry in 60 hours? Because now, I'm totally putting it off. :(

I don't think my brain can handle all the information it needs for me to pass my end of semesters. IT WON'T FIT IN SUCH A SMALL AMOUNT OF SPACE!!!

Damn everything for distracting me! Why must this be so B-O-R-I-N-G!

XD

Somebody save me.

So, it's approximately 1205 and yet, I'm still awake. Tomorrow I have work from 1100-1500 which isn't so bad, I guess. I have a tonne of Uni work to do, such as write an oral for this Friday. It's presented in partners and I'm afraid I'm going to let mine down. :( Not good. I also have to do general revision for exams because with the amount of content covered in each course this semester, there's no way I can pull an all nighter before each exam. *big frown* Speaking of exams, the exam timetable was finally released.

It goes like this:

BIOL1011 13/6/07 1115
CHEM1020 13/6/07 1745
BIOL1012 18/6/07 1430 (?)
PSYC1030 21/6/07 1745

NOT GOOD. Exams which start at 5pm suck. It means I won't get out til around 7-8pm. Plus, two exams on one day? NOT COOL.

On a higher note, Anna's birthday celebration was on Friday night, which was fabulous. Spending time with friends is always a blast, why does it occur so infrequently now? This needs to be fixed.

On top of LJ I also have a Bebo account where I've talked to a tonne of old highschool and primary friends. It's so strange, talking to people who I haven't seen since I was 10 and having them still remember me! My primary school friends are having a reunion and invited me to come along! XD Coolies!

I have to say, that this week was pretty fabulous.

Eek! I've joined the myspace craze. But really, it's a way to keep in touch with school friends. lol. At least I have an excuse. XD

Add me if you wish, or just visit.    :)    It's all cool.

Ok. So as of last night, I'm officially a student at the University of Queensland. Woo!

Now, I just have to sort out some stuff, then I can enrol in my courses!

First it was Sydney, then it was Melbourne. Now it may be Brisbane.

I really thought I wanted to do Biomedical Science. I really, truly did. But now, I may want to major in Zoology. Eek!

So really, I don't know what I want to do (major in), which means that UQ might be the best option for me right now. It's the only University which will allow me the flexibility to do both. If I go to Melbourne or Sydney, I have to choose straight away, as i won't be able to go from Zoology to Biomedical Science if I change my mind. However, at UQ I can take a range of courses in first year for both Biomedical Science and Zoology, then in 2nd year, have the opportunity to choose which one I like more, and in the end want to major in.

Wow. Talk about complicated. You think you know what you want, but then realise you actually don't.

Wow. Today I checked the QTAC website, and found out that I've been offered my course at the University of Queensland. That's a relief. Now I just have to wait for my two interstate applications, which will arrive on Jan 16 and Jan 17-18. Woo!

About an hour ago, give or take a bit, i graduated from high school.

OMG!

I'm too wired to update, but yeah.

More to come.
Soon.

Ok. So school starts up again tomorrow and it shall be the last time ever i "go back" to school. It's weird. Now, there's going to be a sense of WOW, last time ever doing this! You know? No more school for me in 6 weeks.

Goodbye comfort zones, goodbye normality.

It's good i guess, i'm growing up. A bit of a strange concept though. lol

I'm going to miss the structure that school brings to my life.

GOODBYE LAST SCHOOL HOLIDAYS EVER!!

Woo. Today i worked an 8 hour shift at McDonalds. My first long hours one too. Normally i work for like 3. My legs ached, and now my arms do too. Hehe. At least i earn't money. $11.50 an hour.

Tee hee! The joys of being 18.

Gettin paid more!

On the other hand though, grumpy customers suck. :(

No blood for you!

As you can see from the picture, i gave blood. Unfortunately, the thing is, i didn't. On Wednesday, i rock up to the Red Cross Office in the city and go through all the paper work, and blood testing in order to give blood. So, they give me the all clear, and insert the needle into my right arm, which let me tell you was beyond frightening, as this needle is bigger than the immunisation one, and it's my first time donating. Problem! The blood just doesn't seem to flow. There i am, sitting on the chair with dozens of people around me giving blood with no blood flowing through the tube thing. Everyone else's blood flows just fine, it's just mine that's all stuffed up.

It was so stupid, because i prepared for this soooooo much. I drank so much water, so that the blood with flow, that i went to the toliet so many times as a result. Highly embarassing.

Anyways, the nurse was lovely and was like, it's not your fault i just couldn't find the vein, and blah blah blah, we're going to have to pull the needle out. So they do. And a minute later, blood is slowly coming out of the hole. Gah! It hurt, so much. It literally felt like burning when the needle went in. Then she bandages my arm up, and gets another nurse. The nurse comes over, and asks me if i want to try my other arm. I'm like, why the hell not? I mean, i psyched myself up for this so much, i was going to give blood dammit!

We go through the whole process again, and what happens? The blood doesn't flow again. It was better this time, because i got a little to flow, but it just wasn't working. Only about 2 tablespoons of blood. It was so frustrating. Once again, they take the needle out, and bandage my other arm up.

NO BLOOD DONATION FROM ME!

Argh!

So, in a week or two, i'm going back. Hopefully they'll get some blood out of me. Fingers crossed.

Right. In 12 hours (about) i will be sitting my last exam in exam block, Maths C.

Right now, i'm supposed to be studying.

Huh.

I tried studying, then realised that, there's sooooo much i need to learn. I thought, "Maths C? I can do that. I'll be right." But NO! There's just so damn much. I have a feeling i'll be up for at least another hour, which sucks. I just hope i remember everything.

Toodles for now.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, i sat the QCS Test along with all the other Year 12 students in Queensland. It was ok. I'm not too sure how i went, but i'm sure it was fine. Everyone was really really happy when it ended, but now we all get to fret about exams, which are next week.

Next week, i have six exams; english, chemistry, maths b, physics, biology and finally maths c. I'm a bit nervous, and not feeling very prepared. This weekend i'm going to go into study overdrive. On Saturday, i'm going to for a walk along the river, and properly "flag" my Othello book. That should be english done, once i read over my pratice exam and study the example paper my teacher gives me. For chemistry and biology, it's really all memorising, and doing a couple of exercises. I'm not too worried. Maths b? That's going to be a disaster. All i can do is try my best. The same with physics. Maths c is going ok. I know how to do stuff, but i also don't know how to do stuff. I've got til friday though, so it's just gradual revision until then.

Today i had Erskine Cup finals. Not the real finals, but the second short listing finals. I think i went ok. Everyone had really interesting speeches, and mine was only on smoking. I felt really boring. I won't be upset if i don't get through. I'm just happy to have gotten this far, as i'm not a public speaker. I generally freak out, and shake like mad. We should find out tomorrow who got through, as it'll be one of the last opportunities to tell us before exam block. The actual finals are on the tuesday after exam block, so not much time at all.

This weekend i'm off to Celine's place. To do what, i'm not entirely sure. It should be ok, Ruth'll be there too.

That is all for now. I'm off to study!

Life as an eighteen year old, ain't that much different from being a seventeen year old.

I'll update on my birthday in a bit. I haven't forgotten! XD

Best birthday ever.

Best presents ever.

Best day ever.

Best friends ever.

Yay for being 18.






So what if it's the 27th and by birthday was on the 20th. :)

So, i'm in my last hours of being an under 18. It's kind of sad actually. I'm going to be all grown up, which is terribly frightening. I mean, am i going to change? And if so, how much? Eek! I'll be able to be arrested, drink, buy cigarettes, get married and oh so much more.

I guess, all i can really do, is wait until tomorrow and see what happens.

Just a small little preview of my collection. The weekend's not over yet, Supanova is still alive and kicking, and i'm sure, positively sure i'll get better ones. XD

Today was the best day ever.

PS. Biology is a pain in the ass.
