I feel happier today! Thanks for those who have put up with my tedious study pre-exams and the stress I've been suffering all week. I haven't started on the next paper... relaxing a little. But first, today's exam - it wasn't as bad as I thought, like the questions were actually better than the ones on the practice exams. The only few things were: 1) The first question had me in a bit of a confused state because it asked me to name and describe two abnomalities for a particular hearing loss and when I named the two, I couldn't really describe them cause I was getting confused. Try otosclerosis and tympanosclerosis... 2) There was this question whereby I was on a roll and wrote about 2 pages, but I didn't end up reading the second part of the question which was to describe one of each tests only. I kinda listed and described all of them. So wrote more than I should have. Hopefully she doesn't penalise marks... 3) There was this test I couldn't remember the name of... It was actually Halmagyi test, but then I wrote Malagyi. Sounds like a fish name. Haha!! Well, it sounded the same (dun you guys dare laugh)... Anyway, overall, I think I did okay. Finished the exam on time... even earlier than the 3 hours they gave us. Well, I left 20 mins before the 3 hours were up. But 3 hours - my stomach was seriously rumbling by then and I couldn't take it. Imagine sitting for a whole 3 hours straight... watching a movie is kinda okay, but still, you do get a little restless even in a movie for that long... imagine an exam though - the brains would be going, every muscle in your body tensed, your hand exceptionally sore... haha!
Oh, I have to mention a really intriguing thing about the exam. The place where we place our bags is this huge hall in the uni. It's a compulsory thing - they say thiefs operate in the area and no bags are to be taken even to the classroms. So basically everyone goes to this hall, lines up, security gives you a coloured coupon with a number on it, takes your bag, places your bag near the same coloured coupons. Then after the exam, you bring back the coloured coupon and security gets your bag. It's such an ingenious system! You even had to show your student card. Such tight security. AND our bags were looked after by the uni's security! The line was long though, so it was a good thing I went early. But yeah, I was greatly impressed. My housemate was impressed too. We remember Melb uni days where our bags were placed in a shed and after exams, everyone rushed to their bags, climbed on top of each other... Yeah, pretty messy. And no one was really looking after the bags properly either.
One more exam to go on Monday and then I'm back to Melb! I've changed my flights all! So now, am back in Melb from the 23rd, Mon night (arriving Melb at about 8:45pm) and leaving for Syd on 28th, Sun afternoon cause I couldn't get cheaper fares. Excited!! Can't wait to see ya all!
