Hols in Melb - The First Few Days - Pt 1

Back blogging!! I know - it's been a long while... Am in Melb at the mo!! It's freezing over here, as winter usually is over in good ol' Melb... but been eating loads of hot and yummy food, and it's great! A friend invited TY and myself as well as another friend over to have potato and leek soup as well as this chocolate cake delight and it was fantastic! He grabbed the recipes off Masterchef and his version was really really yummy!! Like Christmas in July! Hee! I need to find the time to cook like that too! Haha! But it's now the hols - been feeling lazy and thinking about having lots of fun and rest time before sem 2 starts. The fun comes from playing games on TY's iPod Touch and he recently bought me Sims 3, so been madly downloading objects for it and playing it... Games are so addictive!!

Had some enjoyment time up in the Dandenongs (the mountains) where I began appetising on potato and leek soup. Haha! I ate so much while I was up there... Also surprised TY with his bday pressie of a stunt car driving course. He did 180 handbrake spins and 360 spins, car ramp jumps and experienced driving on 2-wheels. He really had lots of fun!! Contributed to his torch pressie too which he absolutely loves and has been testing it in dark places. Glad he loves it! =)

Today, had this email from the clinical coordinator mentioning to everyone in the course about the supplementary exam (to resit the clinical practicum exam), and it seemed really harsh - how they were marking it... She said that every component of the clinical exam we did had to be correct, and if we didn't get certain parts or even one small part right, we have to resit those parts in the sup exam. That sup exam's on the 27th and I really hope I don't have to resit it cause I'd be in Melb then... If I do resit it, I'd have to rebook my flights... One of my classmates already received an email saying he flunked 3 units of the course and cannot continue the course. When he told me, I became really anxious, cause for one of the units, we practiced together and he knew a lot then, so if he flunked it, I wonder what I got... I just need to hope and pray really hard that I don't have to resit the exam, or any exams for that matter!! I haven't received any bad news email yet, and I don't plan to... Always so stressful having to go into my uni mail, thinking there may be an email such as that... Results are out next week, and I am hoping it'd be okay, but it just gives me tummy rumbles just thinking about it.

I just received another email with my sem 2 timetable and class group members, which adds to more stress. I'm fortunate to have really good group members actually (well, they seem to be)... but the timetable is pretty scary - it's more intense than last sem's and I'm just dreading it... Now with only 24 of us (that I know of) within the course, from the 29 that we first had, there seems to be greater competition and it's quite scary... These emails are really making me feel guilty and I think I should start reading up for sem 2 soon...

I probably should try not to think about it and try and enjoy the hols while it lasts. Gonna try to catch up with Gossip Girl actually... I was watching it quite faithfully before I got to Melb and stopped for a while... When I think back on my life dramas and Gossip Girl, there are similar relations (not to the extent of the drama in Gossip Girl that makes you really frustrated), but it makes me think that perhaps one day, I'd write a Gossip Girl XOXO journal-type book. I think it'd be cool!

Tomorrow, TY's taking me on a date. Hee! *grin and shy smile* We haven't done something special in a while and thought it'd be nice to do something like that. It'd be really sweet - looking forward to it! Then on the weekend, it's out with a few peeps! =) Yum cha twice in a row!! Hee hee! But it's out in the burbs and should be good fun!
