The Nightmare Before Christmas

6:34 PM

"I can't think of a single reason why I should be a surgeon, but I can think of a thousand reasons why I should quit. They make it hard on purpose. There are lives in our hands. There comes a moment when it's more than just a game, and you either take that step forward or turn around and walk away. I could quit, but here's the thing. I love the playing field." -Greys Anatomy, season 1-

It's Halloweeen! For real this time. Realized it when I was listening to Rudy and JJ on hitz.fm... They were broadcasting 'live' from a haunted house apparently. Around this time a few years back, I was stressing about what I was going to wear for the Halloween party at TGIF. Oh how my life has dwindled to lifeless-ness.

This entire week has been like a try-to-shove-as-much-information-into-ur-head-b4-the-SAT week. I give a whole new meaning to speed reading. In just a matter of days I managed to cover the basics of the cell structure to all the different kingdoms on the planet to the function of the nervous system and to details of the heart. My favourite part was genetics. Coz I got to do the whole criss cross diagram thing again. Punnet square my ar*e. The crisscrosses are addictive. And literature is killing me. Go ahead, Nirm, shout "I told u so!!". I have no idea how to master it. I know the terms. I like reading the excerpts except those really idiotic traditional prose styled ones. But It's unmasterable. Tricky business I tell you! I've done a couple of practice sheets without setting the clock and I seem to be getting more crosses than ticks every single time. Makes me want to tear my hair out and run about the house clucking like a chicken gone CuCkOo. Math is just math. I hate the dimensions part. Ugh! So many formulas... I'm dreading saturday AnD anticipating my life after the SAT. Nightmare before christmas indeed!

Went to see Miss Joy this morning. She specifically said 8 am so I had to get up early altough my psyche suffered a lot of damage in the process. Zombified. Cambridge exams are going on at the moment. Made me reminisce in retrospect at how we, the A levels clan, used to stand around in nervous jitter before our exams. I am SO glad not to be in that position right now. Anyway, dear Miss Joy thought I was still one of her students. She was like, "aren't you supposed to be sitting for the exam soon".... You can trust her memory to NOT serve her right. Am supposed to go there again this evening to drop off photocopies of my cert so she can come up with a masterpiece. Seriously. She could've hinted that she needed it earlier. And I could've saved a trip.

Broke is an understatement for me right now. I have to survive with 20 ringgit today. Not a problem if I didn't need to make excursions here and there. Unfortunately, I need to load up on petrol before going to college again this evening and then, drop by at the rotary meeting to get the t shirt matter over and done with. I. Will. Survive.

Auckland U sent their admission package on Monday. WooHoo! Now all I need is the scholarship which is no easy feat. Still waiting for the Adelaide and UTAS's responses. Am in no hurry to make a final decision though. LOL.

Mundane. Mundane. Unless you consider lactic acid build up an interesting conversational subject I have nothing further to elaborate in this entry.

It's mostly my mom who wants me to go there coz, well, it's cheaper than all the other unis in Australia. But I'm really banking on Auckland, coz I WANT to be there. Ofcourse I'll be ur tour guide if I do end up there. I'll have to take a tour of the place myself first to perform my duty efficiently, though. LOL

Cassie
It was 8 am in the morning dear. That's like... 8 am in the morning. Even the parking bays weren't filled yet. LOL. The next time I go to SyUC, i'll make sure to call u n find out where you are k.

PS: thx for the good luck wishes guys. I'm gonna be needing it...

ok since you're needing the 'good luck' wishes... GOOD LUCK.. haha no really
question i just can't keep track of your SATs exams anymore just when i thought when nirm said results are coming out ... then poof you're sitting for it somemore... i'm confuse..

yea literature is torturing but once you get to the climax ... you can just crap and elaborate further for the explanation. yes, took lit for awhile in high school. ;)

anyway yes oh my gosh... i'm like reminiscing the college times now... all by myself! sniffles~~ x x

If i weren't takin it, I don't think I'd b able to keep track either. The results were for the reasoning test. We just sat for the subject test. ANd lit was the crazy difficult! Ugh... I don't wanna think about it.
