**63Days**

Dear diary,

Juz got back from uni after molecular and microbial biology mid sem~ total disaster!!! The paper was soooo very extremely tough~ feel that all my efforts of studying for it went down the drain. Seriously very tough , i was still feeling quite hopeful that maybe i can walked outta the exam feeling like my percentage of passing will be 70%. But instead , i walked out feeling like a total goon and feeling so vexed cos i couldn't do most of the qns , and feeling so irritated cos outta the 5 choices i always get stucked between 2 possible ans. But it's like... u gonna choose one~ ARGH! when i did the past year papers , it wasn't that tough one leh... i could still do one leh... how come this time ard it's so tough. After the exam , had a mini discussion with my frens and realised that i got quite a few stupid mistakes...whether i pass or not depends on whether i am heng or suay. The only comfort from this is that when i went to the front of the lecture hall to take my bag , i overheard lotsa ppl commenting abt how tough the paper was. And san heard someone saying that this paper totally spoil her day. YES! It totally spoilt mine as well. If i had studied this much back in poly , i am pretty sure i would have walked out feeling like at the very least i could pass. Getting a pass and scoring is two different things.

During break , someone commented that this is uni , not poly anymore , the exams they set will not be so direct , moreover, we're in a country where ppl are 'trained to think ' not 'trained to remember' ... it's a study hard vs study smart kinda thing. If i want , i know i can study hard , but i can't study smart , cos my mind works in a straight way. Seriously , after that exam was sian 1000 feeling so lousy manz! kaoz~ ! argh ! Suddenly it dawned onto me that i am in UNIVERSITY already not POLY! haiz... no choice... gonna study.... gonna mug.... this is uni standard here.... moreover i am in a state uni ~ not any ulu uni ~

Then juz when i was feeling a bit better after the break , this student union person walked into the lecture hall and gave us a mini talk. She told us that the uni have decided that a grade 3 will be a fail from next year onwards ( grade 7 being AD , 6 being A and so on...) . Despite the student union trying very hard to rebute this decision , they were not able to persuade them from not doing it. BUT they did come to a compromise , the first time u get a grade 3 in any modules , u get a chance to take a supp paper for once. That's the most that the uni were willing to compromise. But i mean... O... come on! this is uni leh!!! grade 3 is supposed to be like a uni student's life saver or something like that. SIAN. Irritated like hell... cos we're going to be affected. Really gonna mug already. Damn it ! Paper so tough , practicals tough, assignments tough. . . Can't wait to take a breather. Almost forget that tml is my b'day! LOL.

Which brings me to another topic all together. The chances of me going over to Sunshine Coast with the girls on sat is quite high. Juz need to comfirm with them and see how. I was supposed to go to Goldcoast with esther cos her cousin who is uber rich is living in a resort. But i've been there and so... i thgt going with the girls to Sunshine coast will be a better choice. If i am going , we'll be going to some factories and of cos the beach as well! Staying in an apartment. 2nd roadtrip here in brisbane. The first was taking the train up to goldcoast to esther's cousin place with sean. Goldcoast is really quite near , 1 hr with the train and roughly abt 45 mins if u're driving. Sunshine coast.... hmm... not quite sure abt that one. It will be a 4 days 3 night thing , which means we'll be going on sat and coming back on tues. Half of my one week break gone , after this trip gonna make sure that i finish up at least 2 of the 3 assignments cos when sch term starts it's revising for exam time already. SCARY! Esp after i 'tested the water today. ' MCQs are so tricky! trick questions!!!

Room is in a HUGE mess now , tons of clothes to iron , didn't do ironing on mon after i finish washing cos i wanted to spend more time studying for mid-sem ~ but turn out~ useless~ .... seems like i juz can't can't can't stop complaining! GOODNESS GRACIOUS ME! feeling very.... pissed u know... cos i studied... but apparently not enough. haiz. Anyway going to do ironing later.... feel so lazy.... no choice... own room , own clothes , dun do... no one do for u ...

Juz now after accompanying esther to the library to find some books , we went to eat jap food ( consider to be the cheapest food ard ... ) , i ate ginger chicken with rice... damn hell full can.... now i am so full i am ready to puke. So full , after that meal i look at my tummy and i think i looked 3 mths pregnant. Been quite a while since i stuffed myself with so much carb already. It's only a normal bowl... but i dun usually take so much carb... bleahx~!the onions were really good thou... esp so with the ginger gravy. haha!

Going to the 'Casino' to eat dinner with jean, peifen and esther tml. Friday will be going to have lunch with the girls b4 heading to their hse to stay for the night cos sat morning will be going liao. Sweetie is LATE in sending me my b'day gift... *roar* .... it's ok thou... i am UNDERSTANDING ONE MA! hahaha.... cos he have been having course till very late then by the time he finish his course the post office is closed already. But he promised me he will send by today together with the anime... quite nice leh ! the anime! haha!

My neighbour got the LOUDEST BURP EVER! LOUDEST! IT's really gross u know!!! GROSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From across a wall and i can hear very very very very very very very clearly and ... that's not all.... he always always burps.... like a few burps at one go... think he's one of those ppl who can burp even after a glass of water... juz like my sister.... haha.... can never do that.

All righty , time to take a nap b4 i proceed to clean my room....

Love
Jorine
