did not realise that i last posted in october. i've still been reading your blogs during exams, just no time to actually post stuff.

please. no. supps. i guess i've accepted the fate that i'll pay $2.5-$3k for a ticket back if i get a supp. well, at least my parents understand all the factors that come into play. you'll probably think why did i book my holiday during supps, well there's just as many reasons as why there i shouldn't push my holiday to after supps. but i guess after a lot of thinking, if it came down to me having a supp whilst i'm overseas, then i guess i'll have to cut my holiday short and fly back to take a supp, if i'm lucky to get a supp in the first place...

argh, so annoyed at myself. that feeling of getting the easy questions wrong, and not working through the test fast enough. then in prac exam, i didn't get a stable view, and other measurements i found were incorrect. during prac exam, they use a multiple choice answer sheet to fill in either a,c,e's, but each "question" have different ratings. apparently the last circle of each section tells you if the examiner thinks you generally passed or not, but nooo, i didn't check my last bubble for each section, i did get a few e's, but i'm hoping that it's not that vital pass/fail bubbles. you can get a lot of a's, but if you don't pass that last circle, than you're doomed. nts: check last bubble for future prac tests. also got a lot of c's, so not sure if that's more towards the pass or fail side. then there's the 65% pass mark for finals. really don't know if i passed that 65% mark )))): goodbye $3k, tickets return from america cost

so much if you buy it at short notice and it's the week after thanksgiving and still before Christmas. tried to stay calm during the prac exam this time, which i guess i managed to do so. apparently one person broke down during one session of the prac exams, and the examiner/our lecturer gave her a chocolate. it really would affect your whole mood throughout the exam, since we move to different stations and each one is timed, and you're forced to drop everything and move. and if you didn't finish/couldn't get a view or measurement, well bad luck. and if you break down in the first station, well you'll have the feeling of screwing up in the rest of the stations. have to pass every technique/station...at least the guy i had for history and symptoms had some sense of humour. when i asked him what he was allergic to, he was like "monday mornings," then my partner (who you perform other tests on) started laughing, and the examiner was trying not to laugh as well when i was like "so how do you treat it" but other than that, the other stations in the prac exam all had quite a few big flaws.

when i got a supp last sem, i knew i completely blanked out on the test. blank out as in the examiner is staring at you waiting for an answer but time is up. that feeling was quite horrible and actually depressing, but this time it's just a constant worrying since they're marking criteria and weightings are never predictable...

i can't believe i'm saying this but i kind of ceebs planning, even though i know i need to or else when i get there, it'll wast time, esp with the theme parks.... what's quite annoying is that i have 2 itinerariesL one incl supps and one without. everyday i am praying it's the latter....i'll find out this friday, or thursday in america time...

paying a flight back means half as much shopping money...then i think about it again and it's just a reminder of the things in this world are temporary.
