Ramblings running around in my mind....

Okay...the official timetable was out a few days ago..thank god that my timetable remained the same! =) *phew*. in the sense that it didn't get pushed up earlier. poor friends of mine had that torture. sad. good luck guys! =)

I'm writing this blog just for the fun of it. nothing particular i want to write about. more like i just feel like rambling on and on. you know, ever since i went to school, my path was set for me. after high school, i wanted to study in Monash. just 'cause that was the only uni i knew at that time, and also 'cause my sister was studying in Monash, so i knew about how good it was. so it was decided that i do MUFY, pre-U for Monash. never had a problem till now. now, i know i want to do Honours and Masters later on. Where? that's the BIG question! Honours obviously i'm going to be doing in Monash. but the main question is under which lecturer? what subject? what topic? *sigh* added to that muddle, the pressure of doing extremely well this sem to get accepted into Honours. Masters? that's a totally different thing. Where to do it? Which University? What to do Masters in? so many questions, so little time, so few answers. *sigh* a big muddle i'm in right now.

See? i've nothing better to write about. lol. i still can't believe that it's already 50 days to my first exam. *sigh*. why i'm counting in days? 'cause that makes the exams further away. lol. it's the same as saying 7 weeks. or a month and a half. but the latter two make it sound like it's coming real fast. so i count in days.

This sem flew by real fast! the mid sem break came and went. and the exams are already around the corner. and we still have so many assignments, tests and reports to do. *sigh* and study.

Okay. enough of rambling about studies. something else for a change? =) i haven't read a book or gone to the theatre to watch a movie in a long, long time. and four good movies are coming out this year! (hopefully i can get to watch all of them!) hurray! and i have loads of books to read. aargh. need this sem to finish, and score well. and then the 2 weeks break after exams....i'm gonna ENJOY!!! Man! this time, i'm really gonna Party and enjoy and relax! it's been three whole years! never thought it would finish so soon. finally! hurray! haha...

I have to go back to the books. not my story books. sadly. the other ones. yep. the text books! more like my work. and the reference books. i have to do assignments and reports. *sigh*

Ciao! Au Revoir!

Should I be happy or sad, excited or anxious, or a mix of all?

Don't bother with the title. Came up with it on the spur of the moment. Turns out that's how i'm feeling now. Don't ask how I can be all the above at one time. I can. Depending upon what's running through my overstuffed head.

First things first. Provisional exam timetable's out. Here it is:-

14th June - PHA 3801 (Principles of Pharmacology) (AM)
19th June - GEN 2041 (Foundations of Genetics) (PM)
26th June - HUP 3801 (Essentials of Pathology) (AM)
27th June - GEN 3040 (Genomics and Molecular Genetics) (AM)

You tell me. What do you think of it? Like a 5,000 word essay plan format, here are the advantages and disadvantages of having such a timetable:-

Advantages:

• Lots of time to study in between papers (except last two papers)
• Have two weeks from start of "examination period" before first paper
• Don't have to mug many subjects at once. (again except last two papers)
• Last paper is in the morning. no tension. thank god! =)
• *scratches head* err...

Disadvantages:

• Spread over three weeks. damn long time to wait for exams to finish.
• Have to wait till end of month to celebrate "last semester" exams.
• Last two papers are back to back. day after day. subjects with lots to study.
• am probably the only person in my batch who takes this combo. will be alone in the exams. unique timetable. again (had a unique timetable 2 semesters ago.)
• *scratches head* (again) err...

Looks like they balance out.

Verdict: Be happy with this timetable. more like, "no choice". love it. enjoy it.

Okay..back to my "moods". HAPPY? That's due to the fact that I will be finishing this semester. A senior. Finishing my degree. Finishing with doing tons of assignments and studying a truckload of stuff for exams. Well. For the present let us say. No one knows what'll happen in the future. SAD? That's probably because I will not meet the "gang" for a long time afterwards. Maybe. Don't know who'll end up where. No more hanging out with the gang for lunch, joking around. Not that we do that often this sem, but it feels funny knowing you'll never see them again. Maybe later when we make a point to meet somewhere. If we are all at the same place, the same time. God only knows. I'm sad also because I'm going to leave this place, which holds many memories. yeah yeah you're probably saying that I'm idiotic for even thinking that out. Don't blame me. I like to keep memories of places where I studied...in my heart. Memories. That's all you'll have when you leave. EXCITED? The fact that I am finishing this semester, together with the fact that i'm graduating this year. Also, not to forget, the prospect of doing something different. Starting something new. I'm always excited about starting something new. ANXIOUS? I'll be starting something new, something i don't really know much about, I'm leaving something I'm so familiar with. And doing something new, meeting new people and adjusting to the new surroundings always get me anxious. I know I can do it, but still, nothing can stop the anxiety from being present.

*sheesh* I'm simply going on and on....better stop. Have to study for the Pharmacology test this monday. Simply wanted to blog. Been ages since I wrote in the blog. Blame lecturers for it. They give us a bucketload of stuff to do, and pile even more when you're not even done with the previous assignments! Not to mention with the upcoming exams, this sem's proving to be hectic. Thank God I'll be free in 2 months time. TWO MONTHS?! That's it?! Oh my goodness!!! That's a short time! A really short time!

Okay...Ciao ppl! Good luck to all readers (if there are any!) for exams, tests, assignments, anything, and everything.

Ciao! Au revoir!
