Omg trying to timetable my classes is a PAIN IN THE ASS. I can't do ECON205 because it clashes with my (compulsory) Japanese paper, QUAN111 clashes with my compulsory International Business lecture on Thursday (the other 2 QUAN lectures are fine) So I decided that I might do a MATH paper, but they're all in the FIRST semester!! ACCY111 clashed so I had to move it ealier in the day and now I still need to find an apppropriate paper. Might have to be ECON 140. I really want to do ECON205 (The development of the Modern International Economy) so I may have to do it in semester 2, 2010. GOD DAMN PEOPLE! -=pulls out hair=-

Please leave me a comment with sympathy I think I'm going to go INSANE.

I sat my marketing exam today, it went fine. Economics and Finance however I will need a lot of study for. Well more finance than economics.

Yes okay I'm super excited!! Exam time table came out yesterday which means I booked my flight home today. So on MONDAY 17 NOV 2008 I will being saying goodbye to Dunedin for the meantime. My last exam is management on Nov 6 so I hope to work right up untill the 16th at egg land. I'm so excited now! Although it really does feel like the year is winding down. I think it is actually getting warmer as well. I'm not going to miss being down here it's been a very lonely year and a half. Imagine that, feeling disconnected from anyone for a year and a half. How do I do it? Am I someone with no soul? Omg I have no feelings! I'M EMPTY INSIDE!! Actually I do quite beilve that last part is true. I have no feelings. You know my flight only cost $79 I'm super duper glad I done it now because last time I looked flights were getting up to $100. I'm also glad I don't have to spend huge chunks of money travelling anymore, I can just take a train to palmy with the commmuters when I've got time and mum will pick me up at Palmy. Or, I could go stay with my grandparents for the weekend in parapararumu. I hope I see my dad a bit more now that I know he does travel to see my grandparents. He can take the train down and come scope out my new house =D

I can smell my hair. It smells so pretty! I'm getting my hair cut someone in the next couple of weeks as well, to about 2cms above my shoulders. I can't belive how long my hair is! It's down to well past my shoulders now and it's WAVY. That is annoying, hopefully when I get it cut it will take the wave out. That is half the reason why I don't wear my hair down.

Omg going to Brandon and Danielle and meet their son when I go up as well. Sam must be 6months old now. The "cute" stage of babyhood when they do more than sleep, eat and poop. I haven't seen brandon in.... well over a year now. Not since I left. He asked me to marry him - twice lol. Poor boy, he wanted offspring and I don't/can't.

P.S TAKE MY POLL

Should I keep a journal for life at Victoria University?

"Life is Love. Love is painful. Yet suicide is swift and sweet"

EXACTLY ONE YEAR TODAY THAT I MOVED DOWN TO DUNEDIN!
I'm not sure how I feel about that.... It feels odd.

IT SNOWED YESTERDAY! Which also means it's soooooo cold. It also snowed when I got out of the airport.

It's so boring I just want to go back to class. Speaking of class, exam results still are not posted yet! 2nd semester course approval is next friday (that is going on the assumption that next friday is the 7th of July. In truth I've no idea what day or date it is most of the time) not that I really care anymore. If I was still doing HSFY then course approval would have meant that I would have passed CHEM191 and been able to get into BIOC192... but alas my chemistry exam was "t3h suck0rz" I should have studied harder. HSFY is quite hard in that you only really have you textbook for guidance since every single HSFY paper was new last year, so there was only last years exam to go by.  But I need to get a change of course form and then get my new course approved by who ever in the Link. At least the papers are less expensive!

The first question in our HUBS exam I remember was very similar to the first question in the 2007 HUBS exam in the fact that it was a radiograph asking you to indentify a bone. In 2007 however, it was a radiograph of an arm asking you to identify the radius or ulna (I still get the 2 confused) in this years exam it was of a knee joint including the femur and tibia. We were asked to identify the knee cap of platella. I'm so glad I remembered the actual name for that bone because I wonder if you would get a mark for calling it the knee cap. Which brings me onto another rant - the stupid question had 2 answers!! It would have been easier to point to the femur or tibia because they only have one name and we had spent quite a lot of lab time of those bones.

Sometimes I wonder if I am dyslexic. When I about 8 (yr 4/std2) I remember being asked if I could see the board because my spelling was so bad. I wonder if mum and my teacher ever discussed dislyexia because I still get letters jumbled up when I'm trying to spell a word I havent seen before. I did get my eyes tested and there was nothing wrong (it wasnt untill I was 16 that I got my good old spectacles that I hardly wear).

Eh my life sucks. I can't wait till August. I'm going to be applying for a job at subway. However, means that I might have to take my pericing out. Not so bad, i've been thinking about taking it out for a while. Better let me have summer off lol I refuse to stay down here after my exams have finished. Its going to cost me $89 if I book my flight now from Dunedin->Wellington now. I will use the profit from the sale of my car and also proberly from my job when I get one (soo planning to get one this semester now that Im not going to be spending so much time @ Uni)

I feel sorry for people who have to sit next to me when I read a book. I laugh out loud at funny parts and get glared at. Hahaha I'm reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for the nth time since I brought it (I couldnt bring all my books down here unforunetley and Dunedin library is both hard to naviagte and dosnt have the books I like) and the latest bit to crack me up is when Hermione gets the portraited of Professor Black out of her bag when they're on the run and the ask about the sword of Gryffindor and he calls Luna "that Lovegood oddity" and I just cracked up. I must have been giggling for about 5mins haha.

I hate walking all over the friggen university to find a friggen computer *makes annoyed sound* anywho, now that I've found one in St. David... I shall bear to you my news for the past few days.

A motion is before the OUSA about UMAT and how there isn't any evidance that it dosn't discriminate. The AGM is tommrrow at 1pm and I'm intending to go, means I have to go to 12pm physics but I think it will be good. I hope the University scraps UMAT because 1) the $160 Australian dollars it costs (It's ended up costing me more than $200 New Zealand and It's put me that much more in debt that my lovely Mum has offered to pay) 2) it's just a personality test. There is other tests that the University administers right here and it would be a lot more cost effective to students to have something run here than something in Australia.

I don't come from a very privleged background (solo mum trying to raise her 2 kids on the DPB and what not) so there was never much money and unless you actually plan about 2years ahead and you know what you have to fork out for then you're all good, other wise to your run-of-the-mill student it's a rather big surprise. I think it was pretty discriminatory in that respect because if you can't take the test then you can't get into Medicine/Medical Labratory Science/Physiotherapy/Dentistry. Only leaves Pharmacy then.

Rant on UMAT over

I've started studying for exams, under a month to go *sighs* I hope I pass chemistry, other wise I can't get into biochemistry next semester. I'm starting the "I'm to worked up to sleep" phase of exam time. I've downloaded most of the lecture notes onto my 128MB flash drive (I can't find my 1GB one and it pissing me off, it had lecture audio on it) at this stage I'm going to be applying for MedLabSci, and if I don't get in I'm debating about just giving up and moving back home and going to either Massey or Victoria. Not really much keeping me down here I don't really have any friends down here. The people in my course are fucking snobs. If you're not in their hall or really in any hall they don't want to know you.

I've made an appointment for 2.30pm on Thursday so see a teaching fellow about the Hardy-Weinberg equalibrium. That is proberly the only thing in genetics I have absoultely no idea about. Prehaps I will make another one to have modes of inheritance explained. I can normally get the questions right, but I have no idea how or why. It just "looks right".

well off to 5pm chemsitry *sigh*

P.S - I'm so sick of losing my pens/twink/eraser/pencil!!
