Taste of freedom

First few hours of holidays:
went shopping! Well, just walking around the city and had a look at the Myer's Christmas Display of 'Olivia helps with Christmas'! So adorable.. of piglets.. XD oh, went to the new DFO as well at South Wharf. But it was kinda disappointing cuz there aren't heaps of shops just yet. Spent some time in STATE LIBRARY! Yes, on the day that I finish my exam. x_x but it really is quite cool inside, lol.. explored a bit while the guys played chess then had Indonesian food for dinner. mmmm.. soto ayam. yum....

First day of holiday:
Woke up at 8 am. Lol.. too used to waking up early but just lazed around in bed on the phone with my brother who will be back sunday! YAY!! Plans for today: clean the house esp my room cuz half the floor is covered with neuro and physio notes, lol.. probably walk to the glen to buy some stuff. then again these are just aims, I'm still sitting in bed using my laptop [yes, I know.. terrible posture] so may not accomplish any of the above because I'm starting to feel sleepy again. hehe..

T_T

Oh gosh, exam was bad. Can't remember last time I felt this bad during an exam.

Came out, talked to people and then cried. sigh.. x_x

I do believe it's a combination of stress and lack of sleep.

Ok, gotta keep moving on. 2 down, 4 to go! Gotta keep trusting God and just do my best! ^__^

Thanks to all the awesome ppl who were there for me today!

Sem 2 exams!

Oh gosh! Can't believe that it's the last week of uni already! T_T Every year feels like it's passing by faster and faster.

Anyhow, my last post till after exams [if I don't get distracted when I'm meant to be hard at work studying]. Every semester, I feel like I'm getting more and more slack. x_x but I'm getting into it.

My dad not being here hasn't been too bad. The house is definitely quieter but I think it's pretty hard on my mum cuz I spend so much time in my room trying to do work, and she's alone outside. =[ But dad will be back soon, 3 weeks I think! =] yay!

And for my exam timetable, which is as per usual, really really quite bad.

• 9th Nov- Sensorimotor Control Sytems Paper 1
• 10th Nov - Physiotherapy 4 Paper 1
• 12th Nov - Physiotherapy 4 Paper 2
• 13th Nov - Sensorimotor Control Systems Paper 2
• 17th Nov - Neuro prac exam
• 19th Nov - Physio prac exam

But I'm absolutely thankful that I have some time to practice for physio exam and for once, I'll be finish with exams when my brother comes back to melbourne! yay!

And all the best to everyone else in their exam preps!

And I shall now return to work. =]

Darwin

Did you know that it takes roughly 4 and 1/2 hours to get to Darwin? That's ages!!!

And that the time difference is about 1 1/2 hours behind Melbourne time. not too bad I guess..

And that, oh, they have such good weather!!! Maybe a tad bit too warm and humid but after the long winter, heat is good.

Anyway, my dad's in Darwin now, won't see him for a couple of weeks. =[ Last night, I was just rummaging through my closet, looking for clothes and my dad comes in and lies on my bed. And he just starts talking bout random stuff and then my mum comes in. She sits on my chair and I climb into bed and we're all just relaxing and talking in MY ROOM. Lol.. never ever happened before so that was interesting. Good family time just before my dad leaves I guess. =]

Sigh.. I'll miss him not just because he

• supervises my driving
• makes breakfast for me in the mornings (lol.. yea, I'm spoiled I know..)
  
• helps me prepare for school by filling up my water bottle
• putting my vitamins on the table
• going to Vic market to buy cheap fruits and food for the family
  
• cooks yummy food over the weekends

but also cuz the house is gonna be so quiet now.

Ah well.. praying for his safety in Darwin and that he won't be too lonely up there or find things too tough. =]

Dilemma

I just got word about my applications, well, one anyway. So I got offered an interview and I am just in shock. Lol. I dunno whether to be happy or not.

I guess the situation has changed heaps since I first applied. I still wanna go for it but at the same time, so many reasons to not do it now. An added reason is that my dad might be going travelling for 3 years interstate. He'll still be back on weekends but still.. =[

The present dilemma is whether to go for the interview now or wait till January, keeping in mind that I'll have to fly there and it's so close to exams now. But also that I probably have a better chance if I go for the interview now. sigh..

Well, I have one week to think about it. Bottom line: how much do I want it? i_i

Holidays

And uni has begun.. =]

It feels really good studying after that one week break. I think I was starting to feel really burnt out and so so tired of studying. I'm not saying that I'm absolutely studying perfectly well now, I just find it easier to take stuff in now.

Holidays were so GOOD! Spent time with friends and family. Sleeping SO MUCH and eating SO MUCH (my stomach does literally feel slightly rounder). Ahh.. and to end it, had a BBQ at the beach friday night and went shopping sunday to buy shoes and shorts. =]

Today, was a good way to start uni. Didn't actually have classes but had to go to the hospitals to attend hydro (which is like a normal pool but with very warm water). That was fun and relaxing. ^__^

Time to study for a bit and probably will head of to bed early, daylight saving plus holidays have not helped at all to readjust my body clock so I barely got sleep last night. -_-"

Aim For The Week

To count my blessings each day and not someone else's blessings.
