As some of you know, I officially didn't get into Melb Uni. I figured they would choose their diploma students first. See, I rang up and found out that they had 30 students for their dip in a-u-d-i-o-l-o-g-y at Melb Uni and am thinking that if all 30 do really well, they'd go for the Masters, cause you can't actually practice with only a dip in that field... they would need to do the Masters. The MA at Melb Uni only accepted 36 students... so if they accept the 30 from their dip, that leaves 6 places for other ppl... and I'm thinking they'll prob take those with a medical science background or medicine degree. So getting in was pretty limited. But am quite happy I got into Macq Uni. In fact, it was a little weird that when I rang and they put me to the course coordinator, she kinda asked me if I heard from my Macq Uni coordinator about accepting me. I was a little shocked that she knew Macq Uni accepted me. I guess they do talk... Apparently one of my course mates also had a similar thing where Queensland Uni offered her a place really early, but then found out that she applied to Macq Uni, and asked her which she preferred and if it'd be okay to take her off the offer list so someone else can have a go at the course. I guess it's a small field so the coordinators do talk... Doesn't it sound like some sort of crafty scheme? Anyways, am stoked in getting into the course and by end of next year, I'd be a fully professional a-u-d-i-o-l-o-g-i-s-t. To tell you the truth, am a little nervous with clinicals... I think I'll be quite good with people, but from some of the stories I hear from one of my friends who is already an a-u-d-i-o-l-o-g-i-s-t, it can be a bit dangerous near the country. But still excited and can't wait to see what the profession will be like. In fact, it seems when I graduate, a lot of the city a-u-d-i-o-l-o-g-y clinics would be grabbed up quite immediately, but there are one or two clinics in Geelong or Dandenongs (in Victoria) there's great need of a-u-d-i-o-l-o-g-i-s-t-s. Mary and Dave, here I come! Hee x2!!

The only worry now is finances and to keep me going here in Syd... I applied for Centrelink, but they haven't responded yet so am really really worried.

Back to Melb for about a week for my bday! =) Can't wait! I feel like seeing animals... hee... zoo?
