I think I might resit it next year.
LOL I dread the day I open my gmail.

bugger
I just read Lyanna's post on the 2u exam. Which I almost, almost forgot about. I did a solid one and a half hours of sleeping, and then trying to do UMAT (which I failed to concentrate on) and now I'm about to go and study my arse off for tomorrow's assessment. I don't think I'm going to get very far because I started this late.
Ugh, I feel so... inadequate.
And plus my jaw's still hurting because the tooth-holes are closing up and it's pulling back my other teeth.
Woe is me.

GARGHHHHHHHHHHHH I HAVE NO HOPE FOR THE UMAT. THERE'S SO MUCH TO DO. I'VE FINALLY TOUCHED THE PREP COURSE AFTER 1-2 MONTHS, AND I'M FEELING SO LOST. I need to squeeze in practice... somehow? LOL. FML.
Though, I'm loving life as it is now :)

shoot myself in the foot
I feel like I've done nothing today, really. I haven't walked around the house, I haven't done any chores - I feel like a slob. I need to clean up the back of my door for clothes that I need to put in the wash, vacuum my room and probably change my bed sheets. I need to do all this before 8:30PM, so wish me luck LOL.
I'm also going to finish off this section for Physics and hopefully do a bit of UMAT. It's been precisely one month since I touched it. This is so bad. I feel that everything's slipping from my fingertips now LOL. GOTTA MAN UP AND FINISH NOTE-TAKING AND WHATNOT.
I'm going to sleep early tonight. If early means 11:30PM HAHA
Tutor's back on Saturday.

knowledgeable!
I feel more and more refreshed after tutor. I feel like I'm back on track, and I'm not doing purposeless things. I FEEL PURPOSEFUL. I finished tutor homework for this coming Sunday and I'm beginning get back into study mode.
Yesterday, we had this maths game that was really, really stressful. Okay, maybe not that stressful, but it's pretty shameful considering the fact that we couldn't recognize multiples of three and numbers with the number three in it. After that, I went church with my cousin, mum, sister and aunty and yeah. Went home, did some more reading and then ate, and slept. I woke up this morning and went for Maccas drive-thru and came home to do tutor homework and read more of the guides.
So far, day well spent.
Before I leave, I shall leave readers with HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! :D May everything good be bestowed upon you, and I hope you all achieve what you set out to do - especially this year.

Re: I hope I'm doing the right thing
Honestly, Othilia, I hope I am too.
No matter. Blood, sweat and tears :'D

So Lamrock just called and we had a short catch up and discussion about the umat. I was just about to go to sleep and she called, so I wouldn't have passed up the opportunity to talk to her :)
So... the umat. I've actually been dreading this event for quite some time now. It's not that I fear it, it's just something that stands in the way between what I want and what I need to do to get there. I feel that declining her invitation (please don't berate yourself, Lamrock - I love you very much, and I would have loved to be with you every step of the way to that exam <3) was one of the hardest decisions I've come to confront in my very short and boring life. Would I leave the opportunity where I would be able to have human guide through the course of the exam? All in all, yes. I asked my mum, and it wasn't the fact that she didn't let me go to it, it's the question she asked that had me caught up and question myself.
She asked me, "what do you want?"
It was a simple question, at first, but I realised the depth of the question and the impact it would have on perhaps my overall career choice. I'm not going to reason with you as to why I chose to do what I did (unless of course, you ask me in person - I don't mind, really HAHA, but I won't be able to give you the answer you'd like/expect), because it would be unnecessary. I feel that... I may have passed up the chance to do what could have given me a potential 'fast-track' into Medicine, but seeing as though I feel it near impossible, I feel like I'm giving into the pressure of the HSC. Not. Good.
I now ask myself - what do I really want? It's not about the money or the prestige. I know for sure. And I've known this, despite my constant career deviations through my life, that there has been one thing I've kept turning back to - medicine. I don't think it guarantees anything such as a position in university or not; I just think it tells me what might suit me and what I might enjoy. Because heck, I don't think being a business woman is my type of thing, despite my choice of subjects. Really, I lack variety.
So... there you have it. My mental turmoil for the past day or two. Yes, I've heard about the tuition when Oth called me a few days ago :) I just... kind of put that away at the back of mind until I had a better time to think. Seriously, I just wish life was just a dream. That way everyone wouldn't have to fight tooth and nail for a 95+ percentile to get into medicine. I would chuck a Naruto-joke here, but you all would have just cracked up at my dry attempt. So yes. 2012 has arrived (excuse my mental belatedness), and I am perfectly unnerved.
I will go to sleep... after I finish reading fanfiction. Why am I getting addicted to this unhealthy habit again? *grim face* GOODBYE! :D And I can't wait to see my girls. I miss them so very much, and I want to confide in them my thoughts as well. GOOD NIGHT!

Othilia, I'm going to be replying to your post about the UMAT :D
Well, I suppose I 'must' take it, but you know, you should be open with options. Here are my extremely broad goals for university, listed from what I want to what I'll be able to do if I don't get it.
Well, I suppose I 'must' take it, but you know, you should be open with options. Here are my extremely broad goals for university, listed from what I want to what I'll be able to do if I don't get it.
- Medicine - Most likely Surgery (so typical, I know)
- Optometry
- Psychology
- Engineering
- Nanotechnology/something physics related
Unfortunately, I don't see myself doing anything theory-intensive such as another extension of high school English. I'm so sorry for lampooning the interests of many English enthusiasts out there, but it's not my thing :(
So I think I'm leaning toward the idea of 'yes, I will be training intensively for the UMAT despite the cost'. I told my parents, and they don't mind about the money, but it would be appropriate to try my hardest to ACHIEVE MY DREAMS! Really, that's what I want LOL And since it fits into the idea of medicine, why not?
Anyway, moving on. The GAMSAT, as I have gathered from half an hour's worth of reading online, is extremely intense. I think it's the actual idea of 'whole day exam' and 'english, maths, biology, chemistry and physics' part, that gets me. Yes, you'll be tested on English as well. I checked Wikipedia, and it appears to be quite legitimate HAHA. I think you only take the GAMSAT if you want a transfer into a medical course, but I am not sure, and hence don't flame me about my incorrect assumption. And from this, if that is wrong, please tell me LOL If that applies to someone that has already done the UMAT, I need to brace myself for the intense exam :(
So yeah. I actually don't have much to say now HAHA But I must share with you: I FINISHED TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS YEAH! Now I'll just finish my Physics notes and read an act or two of As You Like It before immersing myself in Paprika.
