I'm thinking twice now about going to Costa Rica. Why? Because of the $450 non-refundable deposit I have to pay. I'm not rich and I still have no job. However, the job is a little bit hard because my workload is through the roof. 13hours per paper per week to get "average grades". Thats 52hours per week then minus the 25hours of class time a week = 27 hours of work per week self-directed learning. I need more than average grades so prehaps add another 2 hours per paper onto that. That is an extra 8 hours per week. Bringing the grand total to 35hours per week. Total spend on school work? 60hours a week. If I get into medical school I have to seek permission from the dean on school in order to have a job anyways. But, I am picking up some extra cash hopefully via helping at a careers fair in the next couple of weeks for about 3 hours that I'm quite stoked with.
We have yet another HUBS terms test in a couple of weeks. The results from both CELS and PHSI aren't back yet. Although I heard that the average mark for the PHSI test was 8/20 which just made me CRACK UP LAUGHING. I think the head of PHSI191 does our ECGs (Exam Coaching Guides) and he said that he wasn't worried because there is still plenty of time before our finals. Prehaps it was a big hint that something needs to be changed. Then you get the freaks who get A+ in every paper which I think it weird. I have things I'm good at (CELS and HUBS) and things I'm not so good at (CHEM and PHSI). Next semester I am doing HEAL192, HUBS192, BIOC192 and RELS101. I'm actually counting on RELS to put my GPA up. I was thinking about it yesterday and I have a feeling that HEAL192 is going to have a lot of statstics in it since it's a epidemology paper.
Oh yeah, the University is thinking about changing to restricted entry which I think is a bloody shit idea. They have a system in place that says if you fail more than half your papers in a year than you get put on academic suspension and offered all sorts of help and if you still don't pass then you're not allowed to enroll in the university for 2 years. I think that idea is great, I got in via mature entry (because I could not be fluffed with my stoopid high school and the people in it for another year. I was quite a headcase around that time) and if I was made to sit a test before entering university I would have not been bothered with it. Knowledge should never ever be restricted.
Going to the Capping Show with Stacey. Sounds awesome fun.
I love my mum! She not only is getting me an electric blanket she is also buying me a colomn heater and helping with UMAT. <3
