29 พฤศจิกายน The Five People You Meet in HeavenJust finished reading the book, thought I'd share some of the memorable passages.
"Fairness does not govern life and death. If it did, no good person would ever die young."
"The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we're alone."
"Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. You're just passing it onto someone else."
"All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair."
"Life has to end. Love doesn't."

 26 พฤศจิกายน Ugh, smart one, dumb oneTitle = what I say to myself a lot of times. So my phone decided to be a retard and not open this file I really wanted open so I got angry at it and clicked "reset" without realising its full potential. Next thing I know, I LOST ALL MY CONTACTS!!! So if you call/text and I go "who the hell are you?" it's not because I don't know you, it's more that I don't know your number! So whoever reads this, kindly send me text with your name please so I can re-add you back to my phonebook ><. Had my swine flu shot yesterday, my arm still hurts a bit but it's all good. Hopefully I won't get swine flu now. Or that swine flu hasn't mutated into a new form so this shot becomes totally useless. Received my college offer the other day! Except I don't think I'm gonna take it coz it means I'd have to participate in college activities and also it's a tad on the expensive side. So have since been house hunting on the internet. The more I read about San Diego, the more excited I am because the uni is liternally right next to a beach! Now I've got an image of Bill and Fleur's little cottage at the seaside stuck in my head and am trying to find a house just like that with reasonable rent Instead, I've been reading "The Universe in a Nutshell". It's all quite interesting, a continuation from "A Brief History of Time". I love the idea of warped spacetime. It means the possibility of looping back to a previous time, although it's not quite physically possible yet. And also personal time, the fact that everyone has their own time that is different to everyone else's depending on their motion. Did you know that if you travel eastward, you will live longer than if you travel westward? It's because your relative motion to the earth's rotation when traveling eastward makes time go faster. Isn't that fascinating? All this makes me want to go to Hawaii where a lot of the large telescopes are situated. My mum keeps saying I should start packing already but I dunno what to pack... I should probably take her advice though seeing as time always flies when you do take notice of it. Suggestions anyone?
24 พฤศจิกายน Bravo!IT'S THE HOLIDAYS!
Currently extremely haaaappy.
1. Finished exams and I'm pretty certain I didn't fail!
2. Got to see everyone before we go our "separate" ways. Dinner was good fun!
3. Made it to my visa interview (after some dramas that is so typically me~ I accidentally booked my plane tickets for December 19th instead of November and didn't realise til 7 hours before my flight! Lucky there were still tickets left or I would've had yet another heart attack >.>) and the visa arrived today all stamped and ready to go
 .4. Finally have all my courses sorted out!! So perhaps I won't have to delay my graduation if I don't fail xD
5. Just been accepted into college! But not sure if I'm accepting or not coz I think it's actually a bit expensive.
6. Booked my MC tickets! Woot! It's gonna be an awesome new year!!
7. I found the 1994 "Merry Christmas" CD by MC today! And I found Charmbracelet too but it was in a 3 CD pack with 2 other CDs I already own. Maybe I'll just let them scan the Charmabracelet cover only. Hmm...
May asked (and spammed) if I was in Switzerland (because Ishni told her so). "I WISH!" is my answer. One day, I will be. One day, I shall be living in Switzerland. That one day would be dream come true~
Smooth sailing. I've got most things sorted. But I just realised how broke I will be after I come back
 hence I've been working everyday since I finished exams. Try not to overspend in the remaining time I have before I leave. Finally, wishing everyone an AWESOME HOLIDAY! Play hard, coz I'm sure you've worked hard during semester
 . (If you didn't work hard, still play hard coz that's what you're suppose to do during the holidays  ). A lot of people are going overseas! Safe traveling.As MC sings, "and now I am freee!".
To freedom!
15 พฤศจิกายน Disaster Strikes!!This week has seen me experience stress a little too close to my threshold limit.
First I discovered that class enrolment in UC has already begun without anyone from over there notifying me! Lucky I check these things!! But when I tried to enroll, they said I haven't been given an enrolment time yet and so I started panicking coz spaces were already starting to go and I NEED those classes!! Checked with the other two friends also going and they also haven't been given times yet so phew.
Exams! I had a total freak out because I couldn't do one fo the questions for my first exam and had to desparately ask around for help and luckily received some from very nice friends. For the second exam, I had to read up a heck load of notes and even though we got to take in cheat sheets I still couldn't complete the exam because I ran out of time!
Day after my second exam, finally got my enrolment time so I tried to enroll again. This time they said that I don't satisfy the prerequisites for ANY of the courses I needed and refused all of my enrolments!! I emailed one of the advisors about it and they said they can clear me once I gave them my ID number. Ok, so I did that (as did one of my other friends). Next day, they replied and said that they CANNOT clear me for the courses for whatever reason but the other friend who also emailed them was given clearance?! SERIOUSLY WHAT IS THIS?! WE'VE DONE LITERALLY THE SAME COURSES AT UQ AND BOTH GAVE ID BUT YOU REJECT ONE AND ACCEPT THE OTHER?!! HOW THE F*** DOES THAT WORK?! AND THEY DON'T PICK UP THEIR PHONES!!! I CALLED THEM (YES INTERNATIONAL CALLING AND THEY STILL DON'T PICK UP!) LIKE 10 TIMES AND NOT ONCE DID THEY PICK UP! Ok, as you can tell I am seriously angry because the available places are dropping day by day and I really need these courses otherwise I'm not going to be able to do my next quarter's courses which means that I will get ZILCH credit for those 2 quarters and I will need to graduate at least a whole year later. WTF!!! And now it's the weekend over there and I will have to wait until Monday to see if it's been sorted. If places run out I am going to be thousand times more angrier than what I am right now!
At the same time as that, I've been trying to study for this course which is to put simply, extremely hard. So it doesn't help that I'm anxious/angry and trying to study so I was yet again panicking when I started to not know how to do questions and yet again had to desparately ask for help and ended up going to uni at 6pm so I could check my answers and get help yesterday.
Today I am feeling slightly better but not much since I have another exam tomorrow (which thankfully I am ok with). But I am starting to feel a bit anxious about my Mariah Carey tickets which I hope won't sell out before I get Chi's confirmation.
I only just woke up coz I had to take my dad to the airport at 6am but didn't come home til 12 last night. Am studying for tomorrow's chem exam. Hopefully I won't have a mind blank. I'm so paranoid that I'll have a mind blank in the middle of my exam coz I've been freaking out about a thousand different things. ~.~ Still extremely worried about my Wednesday exam! 4 marks for one multiple choice question, and there are 15 of them! And you can't even get marks for working in MC questions ><. Marks are so easily lost. the whole exams is 65% of the course! I need to pass this...
Let me apologise for the whole entry of complaints. Needed to vent somewhere. Hope y'all understand.
  (sunshine after the rain)10 พฤศจิกายน The Religion in Materials EngineeringSo there I was checking my solutions to some tute questions, then out of the blue...
Excuse me?? High conductivity such as god??! Wow, this means god must exist because he can conduct electricity, hence must be made up of atoms!!
Disclaimer: This is in no way a derogatory commentary. This is for the simple amusement of a mind in need of distractions.
07 พฤศจิกายน Almost TimeToday is the official first day of exams, yikes! Wonder if anyone is unfortunate enough to have an exam today. Arrrrrrrgh speaking of exams, my first is on Monday! And I need to stuuuuuuudy! So I attempted to be a good girl this semester and actually study during swotvac, so far my attempts are not completely fruitless. I have more or less studied for 3 of my exams already on top of my constant procrastination (I reckon there should be theories to explain the phenomenon that is procrastination, perhaps I should start one when I finally get time). I was taking a photo for my visa application this morning and every photo had me looking like I've been punched in the eyes, shows you how little sleep I've had this last week. I'm starting to learn that cramming is probably not the funniest thing to do
. Since swotvac has begun, I've been on social shut down mode so I have no clue what everyone's up to (besides studying of course). I did plan to organise a buffet after exams finish but I have to do anything about it and it seems like a lot of people are going overseas. Ok, so here's my unofficial invite - EVERYONE MUST GET TOGETHER FOR SOMETHING AFTER EXAMS FINISH! There
. People better rock up too.Ok, so I said I would try and write about something other than work/study in my last entry but seriously, there isn't anything I can think of right now besides "need to study!!", although I am very excited because I found out yesterday that Mariah will be holding a new year's eve concert in New York and I'm in New York then too so I am determined to get tickets!! Yes, I am rather "obsessed" at the moment with her music, can't help it and as May said, obsessions get you far
. This is all compensating for the fact that I'll be missing watching Justin, Kim and Djokovic play at the Brisbane International. (I can't believe they got all these big stars coming this year! Lucky this is only their second year so hopefully a lot more will be coming next year, especially as a warm up tournament to the Australian Open.) Hahaha, I demand that someone go watch it for me. *Jescka! Jenny! Dann!* Alrighty, enough procrastination already, need to get back to study or I might have to pull an all nighter! ><
Good luck everyone for exams! Knock them out the park!

26 ตุลาคม Not quite 12 yet (at least not when I started this!)Soo tired! But I'm happy, group project is finished, housing application is almost done, and I'm more than half way through my portfolio questions and chem prac. Woohoo! Had work today, wasn't very busy but busy enough to keep me on my toes most of the time. You know, I rekcon working at a deli as big as mine would be a pretty good way to exercise
. All you do is walk up and down the 25 metres of counter for 7/8 hours, I'm surprised people don't advertise that as a weight-loss program. Lol, maybe the deli can even start this as a new product and instead of paying people to work there, people will pay to work there! I think that's a brilliant idea .I am surrounded by all these dead bug corpses right now. Makes me feel real good. Anyways, I'm looking forward to the last week of uni. Less classes and revision! Yes I love revision, it makes me feel like I learnt a lot, although that's usually a bit deceiving.
I'm tired (you can probably tell by now) and I want my sleep. These last few entries have been a bit dry - work work and more work. I shall attempt to update with more colourful posts at a later time.
Good night/good morning all~
15 ตุลาคม Just slightly panickyA little short of time might be an apt description of my situation right now. Just a little short.
Gotta organise all the stuff the exchange! All the application forms are driving me nuts. But of course, I shouldn't be complaining and trust me I wouldn't be complaining if it wasn't in the middle of everythiiiing! Have to apply for visa, apply for housing (creativity essay??! this one's gonna have my brain cells on its toes >< help anyone?) not to mention figure out how I'm gonna access my stash of $$ and the flights (so expensive =.=)! And let's not get me started on how screwed my group is because our model is refusing to work!!! Computer was never my friend and this totally proves that. Hopefully after this coming sleepless weekend though, it'll be done. Then there's the rest of the study that I've neglected in order to do this project. Plus, bet you in no time exams are gonna start barging its way through with its ugly fat ass. Of course, there are also like a thousand tv shows that I wanna watch
. Gosh, that was one big lump of stuff right there ^. And that's exactly how I feel right now. Big lump of stuff in very little space of time. Gaaaaaaaaaah! *Hops around like a bunny rabbit because must multi-task with every action. Time is short.*
Now that I've gotten my lil' rant over and am feeling slightly better (though this feeling probably wouldn't last long). I'm gonna ask you a question. What does SOS mean? If you answered Mayday, then you're wrong!! SOS in my dictionary means socially out of step.
Ok, so I was slightly bored on the bus so I started thinking of things SOS could mean/be an acronym of. I have two more, and they're purely song titles. OOC (out of control) and HATEU (having a typical emotional upset). It's quite funny reading forum posts and seeing all these acronyms. If you're SOS then you really wouldn't have a clue what half the posts were talking about because they're all filled with these. The direction of communication - short and concise. The direction of human evolution - short and concise . I like.Btw (acronym anyone?), is Facebook really that popular?? Even university have facebook pages now. Perhaps I'm a little SOS?
10 ตุลาคม Only MeI think I've lost count of the countless times that I've done something totally stupid that is very typical of me. Well today I'd like to confess another - how can anyone forget that exam timetables came out yesterday? Even after talking to a friend about exams 30 minutes before realizing? Only me. Only 21 hours late too And I shall leave this blog on a note of panic... P.S. I've finally decided to upload the Melbourne photos from last holiday in case people haven't noticed yet. Most of it is really dodge though coz it was all taken on my phone and because I'm just a naturally dodgy photographer. Binda probably has better photos. 02 ตุลาคม Hungry....!Why am I always hungry? But ok, today it might be because I didn't have a proper lunch coz I had places to go (eg. Sanity and uni!). I finally got my Mariah CD today! The Australian version is shyte. They had the Obsessed remixes on the same CD as the actual album so now I have to skip 4 songs everytime I listen to it in the car coz I don't like the remixes and it ruins the feel of the album. Maybe I'll get myself the deluxe version when I get my ass over to the US. This ain't the right focus to have when going on exchange is it? Haha, so typical~
Also went to uni today to do some work. Speaking of work, I've been relatively productive this "holiday" (I swear this should not be considered a holiday but just a week without uni but with uni work!) for my standards. Usually I end up not having done anything and only some guilt cramming on say the last day before uni starts. But this week, I've done half my tute work for fluid and almost fnished my prac and been to uni twice (!!!) to do ASPEN (for those who don't know, it's this gay-ass computer program used by chemical engineers which you can only access from certain uni computers coz it costs like $40,000 to buy a licence or something). So all in all, I'm quite proud xD Could probably squeeze in bit more work tomorrow.
I got the new Dan Brown book the other day. I quite enjoyed The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons. The former for its the knowledge it gave me about all the "philosphers" back in the day (I think that's what they're called back then coz they weren't just pro in one field) while the latter for its religious and scientific content (antimatter!). I quite like the idea of science proving the existence of a god rather than disproving because if it did that would solve soooo many problems. Well, from my logic it does. I'm hoping the new book will be a good read coz I've lost the patience to read through chapter books these days unless it's say Harry Potter or textbooks coz I need to.
Blah, last month of uni is gonna be sooo hectic! I've come to the realisation that if the summer holidays were 2 weeks shorter and we get one week extra each for the Easter and September holidays, then the year would be perfecto!

! Then the only one remaining is an 8am exam. Absolute awesomeness. (Please don't mistake sarcasm for enthusiasm.) Then I looked at my calendar and realized that that's only ONE MONTH AWAY!! And then I realized that there are still 3 prac reports AND group project+oral AND portfolio all due before that!!! Now when you come to such a realization, there's only one thing left to do - PANIC!!!
