Midst of Exams

So am currently having exams, hence the MIA from blogging... (didn't actually realise I hadn't blogged for a whole month)...
And yes, it's nearly 3am so I need to sleep soon to chug my brain for tomorrow's cramming. I think all I probably need is an extra brain to absorb all the information... sigh... it's crazy at the moment...
Got two exams this week on the Tues/Wed - yes, one after the other - on the 23/24... then my last one on the 1st! It's almost all over! In a way, am excited, but also really worried/concerned about the papers on the 24th and 1st. The thing is that they are based on c-l-i-n-i-c-a-l practs... and also everything I have learnt a-u-d-i-o-l-o-g-y-related, which means they can quiz on everything and anything, which sucks cause my brain can't hold all that stuff. There is a sup if I fail the oral exam on the 1st, but I am hoping and crossing fingers and praying hard that I wouldn't have to resit. It would mean having to come back for the sup which is in mid Jan and I would really hate to do that. The good thing is I start work mid Jan, but if u do have to resit, the company is pretty okay with it and allows u to do the resit. The bad thing is u won't be able to do much and can't actually fully practice/work yet until you get ur certification/license approved. Well pray for 23, 24 and 1st papers! I've done two already that were on the 16/17 - went okay.. think I did quite well for the one on the 17th.. but anyways, the big thing is to try and pass the papers on 23, 24, and 1st. Please pray your butts off!! Signing off nows for the bed... V...

Study Life - More of It!

Realised I had no morning class today and overslept till about 11am when I actually went to bed previously at 11pm... That's like 10 hours! It was a good sleep but right now, I can't sleep and it's nearly 1:15am...

I feel quite productive - having kept up to date with my assignments and not having to apply for an extension at all. The only worry I have are my exams. I still have two assignments left and was doing bits of it today... Tomorrow going to try and do one of the assignments and then perhaps try to write summary notes from my lectures for 4 subjects.. don't think I can do it all in one day, but I have to try. I thought it was going to be Wed tomorrow... lol! But it's actually Tues... which is good, cause I have an extra off day to write notes or do assignments.

Yeah, sorry for the boring content of assignments, but it's practically my life at the moment...

Song Stuck in Head...

This song has no relation to what I'm feeling - it was just catchy and now it's in my head... grrr... can't do assignment cause I keep thinking about this darn song... grrr...

(esp the Chorus) which goes:
You can't make up your mind, mind, mind, mind, mind
Please don't waste my time, time, time, time, time
I'm not tryin to rewind, wind, wind, wind, wind
I wish our hearts could come together as one

Cause shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lava...

October and Daylight Savings Make me Nervous!

I can't believe it's October!! And it's Daylight Savings!! Just screwing up with my biological clock... The good thing is that all my computers and phones in my house changed automatically, but my car didn't and while on the way to work today, I thought "wow, it's actually early" so I ended up taking my own sweet time driving and actually got to work 5 mins later than I would have liked! No dramas - just intended to head into work early to look over some of my research notes for one of my assignments - and then realised that I had no time and it was already time for me to be working on my news feed. Sigh - brought in my research notes for nothing.

The work day was a little hectic! Another station was crashing, so I had to standby and take over... nothing like m-e-d-i-a days - it's usual... happens all the time...

October makes me nervous cause it's when all the assignments are finishing/due. I've counted and I have at least 5 assignments due - one almost every week which is insane when you have classes Mon-Fri 9-5 and work on Sats. Assignments take heaps of time - sometimes even weeks to write... But I reckon if I have enough motivation, I can write up a good assignment of about 3000 words within 2 days! (Note the "IF I have enough motivation"). Milo is good right? Energy drink for the night time? I dun really like coffee, but hot drinks such as milo on cold rainy days like today is good... =P

When November comes, that's gonna be crazier cause there's review week, exam study week, and exams... During the exam study week, I'd be in Melb house-hunting. Really really have to be motivated then, cause the week after I get back from Melb, I've got 2 exams - and I need need need to pass!! 17, 18, 23 are theory exams. And the week after the last theory exam is my clinical practical exam and oral exam (viva), which I am more nervous about... please please pray hard for moi to pass!! Thanks!! =P

And then December - it's all over! And I would have been finished!!

Where all the Time Goes to...

So I submitted my resignation and finishing up with the c-a-p-t-i-o-n-i-n-g job first week of Dec. It was sad to say goodbye, but at least I'd be going on to pursue ears! =)

Time really flies... And I just realised I've been in media since 2002!! eeks!

Can't even believe am nearing the end of my course with only a few months left!

Uni has started again and it's back to 7am wake-ups and whole day of classes! The good thing is that I have two days off during the week (Tues and Wed) - but mainly for running errands and doing assignments. Like today, I did errands but uni work was zilch... And was supposed to do work!! At least the day hasn't quite ended yet and I was productive in my errands - did laundry, renewed my driving license, went to get groceries, collected my dry-cleaning, sent a couple of emails, surfed FB pics, did my timetable... And tonight, it'd be work, work, work I hope... Need to start on a couple of assignments otherwise I'd be sooo behind in everything. It is going to be a couple of busy days and months for me!!

And the exam timetable is out!!
17, 18, 23 Nov - theory exams
29 Nov - 3rd Dec - c-l-i-n-i-c-a-l pract exams inclusive of the "deadly viva" (which is an oral exam with three examiners who will interrogate you on two cases). Dates not yet advised! Need to pass so I can head back to Melb without feeling like crap and thinking I might have to resit. If I have to resit, I have to head back in Jan to do so!! So please please pray hard for me!!
Prayers needed desperately on the dates mentioned! Thanks guys!

September Randomness in Melb

In Melb till Thu...

My dad was down here on the weekend and has just left for Syd. Before he left for Syd, I gave him his belated bday pressie (his bday was in Mar - but hadn't seen him for a while since then)... it was the StarCraft2 PC game. =) My dad hadn't played games for a while but he's played StarCraft before and no harm starting to play it again. Hee!! My dad was seriously hardcore before with gaming and got addicted to a lot of strategy games like RA2, Tiberian Sun, etc...

Hung out with a few peeps on Sun arvo - had yum cha which was so gd!! Apparently it was one of the most relaxing yum chas one of my friends had ever had. Very cruisy! Then after yum cha, hung out at Knox. A few of them wanted to get a pressie for one of their friends. Also went to JB and TY ended up getting his iPad!! =) I chipped in a bit for it - Christmas pressent! =) Gd for when he comes up to see me!! =) Or when he goes travelling with his buddies (next trip is Tassie with the boys). That night we went out with a different group of peeps and had crab! =) There were new peeps that we met, along with M, D, J, and C. And Baby J is sooo big now compared to the last time I saw him. =) After din, went over to M and D's house to have desert and socialise with everyone else. Yummy vanilla ice cream and roasted chestnuts! =) As evening drew on, TY brought out his iPad and everyone started having a go at Scramble2. It was sooo fun, I didn't really wanna leave. Lol! It is a very gd app for group socialising!! =)

J-u-n-i-o-r M-a-s-t-e-r-C-h-e-f is back, but once a week on Sundays! We missed the last one because TY and I had a little date. Hee! Went to watch "Going the Distance" starring D. Barrymore and J. Long - it was light-hearted and just alright... nothing too brain-full (if that's even a word)... lols! Then had a quick snack at P-a-n-c-a-k-e P-a-r-l-o-u-r. Mmmm... I had the Hot Ball which was sooo yum!

Now back at TY's and working on my c-l-i-n-i-c-a-l portfolio. I need to feel reflective when I write it, so hopefully by writing my blog, I'd be inspired. =) It's due tomorrow and once I've finished it, will need to annoy some peeps for a printer and scanner. =)

Crazy Lady Driver in QV Carpark

Yesterday TY and I were going out from the QV carpark and saw this lady driver in a silver Honda go over humps really slow and then take corners really sharp and fast. And if you see the QV carpark, the narrow ramps are 2-way streets, so you really should go slow... But this lady would speed off after every ramp. The good thing was that we were following her - probably wouldn't want to be on the other side coming up towards her... Scary stuff!!
