Perfectly Aware

Hi.

The attachment was a good experience - motivating. Prior to it, I didn't really know what being a doctor was like. Now I've got a much better idea, and luckily, I like the idea.

It was actually surprisingly relatively tiring (for me, seeing as I'm one who gets tired a bit faster than the average Joe) just standing (not sitting) around watching the doctor(s) at work. I'm used to a 7 hour day at school (8am to 3pm including lunch/recess), but this work is like a 10 hour day, excluding days where they're on call. They work everyday too, except Sunday (unless they're on call, in which case it's a seven day week). Dedication!

Another observation: to be a consultant in Malaysia, it's almost necessary to learn a few dialects of Chinese as well as relatively fluent Malay...which leaves quite a lot of work to be done, if I wanna work here.

Yeah. Now that it's over, I've got much more free time to do stuff. (y)

Bye.

Contented

I just checked my results this morning at about 4.20am.
While I would say that the overall result was fantastic, I will admit that my individual study scores weren't what I had hoped.

If you want to know what I got, highlight the follow 'blank' section.
ENTER (percentile): 99.80
Study scores (out of 50, based on rankings):
Specialist: 48
Methods: 46
ESL: 44
Chem: 43
Physics: 40
Biology: 42
Uni Maths: 5.5 (out of "5.0")
I think it's safe to reveal now that I was aiming for 99.90, and at least one subject with a study score of 50. Clearly, none of my study scores are fantastic, hence the slight disappointment. However, I am quite happy with how my ENTER turned out, although it wasn't what I've been aiming for.

It's great not to have to wait anymore, or wonder what scores you have.
While this may seem a bit silly, I'll just say it since I'm in a good mood: I'm hoping nobody in my school gets 99.85 or 99.90, but it's fine to get 99.80 or 99.95.... =D

Congratulations to those who did get scores which they are happy with.
For those who aren't so happy with your scores, try to be! Cause they can't be changed now lol.

Okay, I'm out.

Post-

Hello, it is me. Yay no more exams!

Right after the last exam I flew off to Malaysia, and here I am now.
The weather is pretty hot, and it's encouraging my hands to sweat a lot, which is quite uncomfortable. It's otherwise quite enjoyable - good food, CHEAP food, and generally not much responsibility to worry about.

Yeah that's about it.
Will try to update soon.
Bye!

Diminishing

"So, Tucks. How's freedom?"
"Incomplete."

Omg. I am totally getting gg-ed by the idea of the Interview being on this Wednesday.
I have tried preparing... but have this bad feeling that I may not be convincing with whatever I have to say; my answers may be insufficiently long, or with enough um evidence?
What if I say something they really don't like. T_T
In any case, I don't feel too good about it.

And Uni Maths, Omg.
Just when I think I can do any exam question (there are non-exam questions which are sometimes labelled "Hard", or sometimes "Very Hard". Trust me, they are hard), I go flip through one exam, then suddenly find 1 or 2 questions that totally stun me. gg

Gahhh. I thought I'd be in quite a relaxed mood after Chem. Apparently not!

Ttyl's.

Dreams

My best subject? You have got to be kidding me. Fail.
Hope is lost. I fail.

Delete

Loz recently told me not to keep deleting my posts, because he clicks on my blog link in anticipation of having a read, but is often disappointed to find it deleted.
So here is my update!

It has been quite a while since I last updated, because I was preparing for English - the exam.
Of course, expecting it to be the most important subject for me to do well in, I spent the week leading up to the exam writing literally 10+ essays, and going in to school everyday to get feedback.

I think it really paid off.
Knowing that it was the subject I had worked hardest for throughout the year, it meant a lot to me that I did reasonably well, if not very.
I went into the exam knowing that I'd done so much preparation that I would be able to write great pieces. However, just because I was able, doesn't mean I did; I was somewhat shocked by the challenging (for me) Language Analysis piece, and out of panic, I think I wrote quite a shoddy analysis. Unfortunate.

However, I had somewhat neglected Specialist Maths in favour of English.
Fortunately, the exam didn't contain anything particularly tricky. Hopefully, I didn't make arithmetic mistakes.

It does possibly mean, however, that Paper 2 will be super tricky. O:
Dangerous.

Somehow, with the completion of each exam, I feel like I will miss the subject; classes(?).
Of course, I am strange, because I actually enjoy some subjects. I know - shut up! :P
I'm a bit down. sigh
So yeah...that's me. All about exams.
Well, I am looking forward to Malaysia... :)

(Still) Infuriated.

Disappointed.
I have no idea why I'm so fixated on that(whatever "that" may be).
It's driving me insane. academia
