The Semester Coming to an End

So the main theory exams are over and I have one practical exam left on the Thurs. Don't really need to study it much because it's a pract. But I have to have the correct techniques etc to pass. So hopefully I do... It's a hurdle as well. If not, I have to be back on 27 Jul to sit a supplementary.

Back in Melb from 4 Jul - Independance Day... and then back to Syd on the 16th to work on the weekend, and then on 20th, back to Melb again till 31st. But of course, if I fail the pract exam, I'll need to head back after that. I wasn't nervous about that pract exam until now... And my first two exams, I was quite stressed, but surprisingly, I was quite calm about the paper during both theory exams. I think I did enough to pass - well, hopefully... but I had a little smile on my face after, which is usually rare after exams... So overall, it was good I guess. Just have to wait for final results. And right now, have to try to make use of the university simulators to practice for the exam...

Can't believe one semester is nearly over!! Am looking forward to semester two - sort of - because there are two units involving pediatrics and I quite like that specialty... but there are a lot more assignments... hmmm... doesn't always come with the best of both worlds... But after this semester, have to enjoy hols... hee!

A Slow and Stressful Studying Process...

It's been so crazy lately... everyone in my course is saying that this course has given you no life. We can't believe that for each unit this year, we had about 5 assignments due for each... and someone had a look at next semester, and it's doubled! I feel like I'm going insane.

I just completed two major assignments last week - one essay and one portfolio. In fact, I just handed them in yesterday. And am now starting to study for the exams. I actually have two papers next week - one on Wed and one on Sat. Not sure how much will stick in my brain, but hopefully, I can pull it off. There's so much to learn and so much to cram... and I haven't had lots of sleep... so yeah, the lifestyle right now is not at its best. I can't wait for the exams to be all over... but right now, there's not much time. Know the feeling when you have butterflies in your tummy and feel really kanjong? I'm kinda feeling that right now... but I know I just have to pray and try my best. Have to attempt those dreaded past exam papers too... Just trying to write and compile my exam notes for the two units - just want to finish it by this weekend if I can.

I was going to head to Singapore in June for my friend's wedding, but work says they might not approve my leave. That's one reason for foregoing my flights... Another reason is that my mum is kinda paranoid about the swine flu crisis, especially since she knows people being held up at the airport, that she reckons I just shouldn't go down. So right now, I have nothing planned for June except for work... Might have to catch up with social life then before semester 2 of uni starts. But right now, I need prayers for the exams and to be able to register all/most of the stuff that I'll be studying.
