DONE DONE DONE
written on Tuesday, June 25, 2013 @ 11:02 PM ✈
As always, it feels surreal to be done with exams. Now that I have free time I feel like I'm not even making the most of it. I mean, I only hopped onto the computer at 9. And no matter what it is that I'm doing, at the back of my mind there's still this part of me that's going "don't you have to study?" It's like my subconscious now and I have to keep reminding myself that I'm done. But yes. I'm done! I'm done! I'M DONE!!!! Ahem. On another note it occurs to me that I only drank one cup of water for the whole of today. Oops. I drink very little water everyday because I'm hardly ever thirsty and yes I know it's bad for you, so you can save your energy telling me ^^ 0 comment[s] | back to topwritten on Monday, June 24, 2013 @ 11:16 PM ✈
I have no idea how I will go in tomorrow's stats exam. I feel like I know the stuff, but that's not to say that I know absolutely everything and won't make a mistake. I just feel like I know enough such that I'm satisfied? But of course it's never good to be like "I'm going to ace this" because I think that then it will just blow up in your face o_o In any case I was just going through my old HSC maths stuff and though I was never good at maths, I look at all the old stuff we learnt and I'm seriously just like "wow I can't believe I ever managed to do this stuff." Somehow I feel dumber now than I was then? I kind of miss maths T_T 0 comment[s] | back to topwritten on Saturday, June 22, 2013 @ 11:31 PM ✈
uwah I'm seriously so tired my eyelids have been feeling heavy since about 8:30 but here I am still up wasting away my time by looking at random blogs, images and videos because all this stuff is seriously so funny. I'm probably tired because of too much cramming and that I stay up late doing that and then go to bed and end up reading the randomest of things because I can't fall asleep and people shipping stuff is hilarious. My body is tired but my mind isn't. It sucks because after today's exam I didn't do any studying. Is it bad that I put off studying for the incoming stats exam (Tuesday) til tomorrow? You know that feeling you get when exams are done and you are just extremely tired mentally and physically cause of all that work? Okay maybe it's just me. Well exams aren't over and I think I'm getting that feeling which means I may be getting complacent :/ NO you are not allowed to do that. Must do well in stats. --> Talking to myself by the way. In any case I fully intend to have the biggest sleep in tomorrow. So extremely tired. I'll still have plenty of time to study for stats so it's okay (all of tomorrow, Monday + Tuesday morning if need be). 0 comment[s] | back to topaish

Did you ever just want to break out and laugh in a completely inappropriate situation? I don't know, I'm always retarded when it's exam time and today during the reading time for the agen final I was reading the multiple choice and I seriously just wanted to laugh because the first 10 of the 20 were EXACTLY the same as the ones shown to us in the revision lecture. Whenever you are given past papers or examples, always learn them. It's not that they'd necessarily be in the exam but if they are then you're set! And if not at least you can learn something right? But yes that was a good start but can't say the same for short answers... I've always sucked at short answers so let's not go there. Anyway thanks to chem and agen taking up all of my time until now, I only have tonight and tomorrow to cram for the bio exam on Saturday. Oh I can study that morning too since it's an afternoon exam. LOL an exam on Saturday I don't even. But I've actually been revising bio constantly throughout the semester (le gasp!) because of the three bio quizzes we had to do spread out through the semester each worth 10% so they were no joke. I mean in the end you're just like oh crap 30% of our end mark is already gone o_o Anyway so yeah I was thinking "hmm I still remember a bit of bio let's look at these past papers" and looking through multiple choice I was feeling good but then when you hit "short answers" which aren't even short I'm just like
So back to cramming I go. Not that I wasn't going to anyway because of course I don't know everything and I just wanted to see what the questions were like.
What I don't like about sciences is that when it says a question is worth four marks for example, four points does NOT earn you four marks. Remember back at baulko how in physics to get four marks you had to mention 8 things or something? Ridiculous. And that's repeated in uni too it sucks T_T
Must study hard and utterly blab so I can get as many marks as I can in bio short answers. And beware of those dodgy negative marking multiple choice questions T_T
Kekekeke return of Danny the funny bio lecturer who wrote a funny announcement on LMS:
"When you get a spare moment while studying, or just want to
procrastinate, could you please pop into Gradebook (linked from the
course homepage) and double-check that your marks for this semester are
all correct?"
How did you know we were procastinating? haha

My lungs, rib cage and stomach is just in so much pain because I'm sitting here trying to cram and I'm coughing no stop. So doomed for agen tomorrow cause we honestly learnt nothing meaningful the whole semester and they expect us to know all this bunch of useless bull and I just don't even know. I don't know why everyone else in my course is talking about stats even though that's our last exam? Is no one worried about agen? And no don't say they are prepared unlike me because trust me when I say no one knows anything or has studied much when it comes to agen (we seriously all hate it). 0 comment[s] | back to toppass or fail

This is how you determine if you will pass a final or not. Ask yourself, do I confidently know at least 50% of this material such that any question thrown at me no matter how obscure, I can answer it? My answer is no so I'll be failing tomorrow T_T Also I will be coughing a lot because I doubt my condition tomorrow will be any better than today and today I was spluttering all over the place :( Apparently we can take "light snacks" like candy in with us? That's weird. If I did that I bet the people next to me will give me dirty glares for the crinkling of candy wrappers during dead silence. 0 comment[s] | back to topthere's only so much

I'm seriously thinking that the possibility of me failing the chem exam and subsequently the whole course is extremely high... So how is that going to work? I'll have to do two units of chem next semester and I don't quite see how that will fit into my timetable... I've done so many questions my head is just stuck in a permanent whirlwind of different equations and methods and all sorts of rubbish and now when I see a question I just don't know what to do anymore. For me, maths is straight forward except for a few dodgy questions. Like you see integral signs and then obviously integrate. You see triangles, you think trig and you get what I mean. But to me, all chem questions look exactly the same so yeah sigh @_@ People scared me because two people wished me luck for "tomorrow" but my exam isn't until Tuesday...? They scared me so I checked but no it's still Tuesday.... Or am I seriously just wrongly thinking that it's Sunday today...? Anyway all this time my brain was thinking that the exam was 1:50 pm because all of my exams are at that time except for one of them. But then I checked at it's actually at 9 T_T Sigh there goes my morning study time. Oh well I guess it wouldn't have made a difference. Better to get it out of the way? Stupid chem. I've hardly studied for bio which is on Sunday but it's after agen so I only have two days to cram... Those two subjects took away all my study time for bio and stats this is such a bad situation I'm in. 0 comment[s] | back to topfrustration

Nope NOPE just can't. At this rate I'm wondering if I can even pass chemistry because why on earth is this exam worth more than everything we've done in this semester combined T_T Can't can't can't can't can't do any of this anymore and every time I read a question my brain just doesn't comprehend anymore and I shutdown like this:
What if I fail and have to take two lots of chemistry next semester sigh
And seriously what the hell. There are a bunch of questions here in the past papers that I swear isn't in our "syllabus". WE NEVER LEARNT THIS ARE WE SERIOUSLY GETTING TESTED ON THIS. Someone please tell me what you do in these situations. I know uni is all about self study but if they seriously want us to know something that hasn't been taught and isn't in the objectives then what even this is just ridiculous. 0 comment[s] | back to topwritten on @ 9:37 PM ✈
Ugh can I please just go cry in a hole T_T I don't think any amount of studying or how much I know all the theory can save me in the chem exam. I've always hated chemistry and that's never going to change. It's just something I can't do. And why is the final exam for it worth the most out of all the subjects I do. 60% is just too much. I can do calculations but what I really hate is that at least 80% of the questions are "explain what we mean by this" or "explain why this is so". HELL NO I hate explaining on paper ughhhh The only thing worse than chemistry is stupid agen. I don't even care what stats or bio has to throw at me I think I'll just be glad to survive agen and chem sigh. 0 comment[s] | back to topthat timing

Ugh there is just no denying that things could not have happened at a worse time. You know those days when you wake up and you feel like you're sick but since it's the first day the symptoms aren't that noticeable and you wonder if it'll just blow off and go away? Well nope. Woke up yesterday and my chest felt funny but other than that nothing else. Today? Woke up and just felt like I was overheating. Got out of bed and my throat hurt like hell and my body is so weak that walking around makes my head spin so hard. Ugh why why why. Worst thing about this is that it gets worse before it gets better. On top of that it takes at least a week or two for it to go away properly. Well isn't that fantastic because a week from now I would have completed two of my four exams. All while being sick. Wonderful == Not to mention it's hard to study when you feel so poor. Why am I so weak? I think it's just a normal cold yet my body feels like it can't do anything. Have I really not been sick for that long that my body just can't take it? And in any case dad keeps waking me up everyday this week thinking I have to go to uni even though I told him it was study vacation this week many times o_o I wonder what he seriously thinks when he leaves the house to send my sister and I'm still at home. He probably thinks I'm skipping or something even though I don't even have any uni o.O I churned through 12 lecture recordings today for revision. How is that possible I don't know. I'm absolutely brain dead. 0 comment[s] | back to topwritten on Wednesday, June 12, 2013 @ 11:35 PM ✈
oh goodness. I spend majority of my day doing work endlessly and only at the end of the day (or should I say night) I watch random videos as a break before going to bed. I think it's getting too late and my mind is just retarded and I find anything funny and goodness people shipping random things is just hilarious. What sucks is that since it's late everyone has gone to bed so I have to sit here silently laughing and enduring trying not to laugh out loud T_T And I forgot to turn on my electric blanket so I must stay up a bit more so my bed will warm up or I'll have to go crawl into a cold bed :( 0 comment[s] | back to topwritten on Monday, June 10, 2013 @ 11:28 PM ✈
Doing my stats assignment last minute lol. It's okay because my last week of uni was completely swamped as you know and I looked at it many times and I understood how to do everything, it was just a matter of writing it out which doesn't take long but I couldn't give a reason to do that last week because I felt my time would have been better spent doing the stuff that was due first. But yes I realised it's not really last minute since it's due tomorrow at 5pm lol. Oh well. You can tell I suck at stats because no matter what I do I always lose at least 2 marks for each of the "assessable exercises". So if it is out of 30 then max I can get (seemingly) is 28 which is true when you look at my marks. But then we had a calculus assignment and I got full marks. Hurray ^^ Ugh I love calculus so much more than stats. I can never do well in stats and yes trust me other people get full marks T_T And the issue isn't even that I don't understand it, I go through and relearn the stuff and do my assignment and I seriously think I've got it right but nooo they always find something T_T 0 comment[s] | back to topend

I don't know how I feel about it being the end of semester... I'm sad because today I'm taking a "break" and not doing any work and of course I wish it could carry over and be the same tomorrow but I'm sure I'll regret it the day before my exams so no, I must get back to hardcore cramming starting tomorrow until the end of exams T_T 0 comment[s] | back to topkeke

written on Thursday, June 6, 2013 @ 11:53 PM ✈
Okay we shall get to the story later. I'm sad because I hardly blog even though I do have things to say but time is an issue T_T But after tomorrow it will be the beginning of "study vacation" so I'm sure I'll be able to blog a bit more in between studying for finals. Stats prac exam was... I don't even know. All I have to say is that I'm offended that when I sat down the guy next to me was going to ask me a question (he needed help) but then he stop mid question and went "wait, is this your second year doing this or is this your first time?" Wow do I look that old? And even more than that, do I look like I'd fail stats and need to do this again?! Wow that was so sad. I'd like to think I won't fail anything and need to repeat, thank you very much. And by the way that guy is doing my course and he's in like all my lectures so I'm pretty sure we are both first years == Anyway the story of my life isn't really about my life as you can guess... it's more like my life with biology. So here I am doing another one of those online tutorial sheets as practice for the quiz tomorrow. Ugh I hate the word "quiz" cause it's still worth 10% which is more than the chem quizzes which are 5%. Anyway those sheets aren't assessed and don't go towards anything and are purely for practising for the quiz. So yes. The sheet was all about that silly equation I hate which is the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and the thing is it may sort of be like maths but at least maths is simple and gives us like a short question or whatever and usually you just calculate. Well bio is long-winded and too wordy and in the end I have a little trouble understanding it sometimes. So I carefully spent my time doing the questions and tried to understand everything and what happened? Only got 50% right. Of course I redid it again until I got it right. But guess what the best part is. There was this question I didn't get and it wasn't multiple choice so you had to enter in your answer. I didn't get it so I thought I'd just enter any random number so when I submit it, it will give me a clue as to how I should do the question. So out of all the numbers I could have picked, I seriously just randomly chose 0.11. And guess what? It was right. Yet another case of guessing bio will probably give me a higher chance of passing then me actually doing it. But seriously can you believe that random guess was right? I didn't even make any calculations or an "educated guess" and it was legit just completely random. Looking forward to the end of tomorrow because one, more sleep and two, no more uni hurray. And three, I can go to bed before 12 for once. Sleeping past 12 again today T_T So looking forward to the holidays but we have the hurdle of finals to jump over. I'm seriously surprised at myself because on the days I don't go to uni (whether it's a strike or whatever) or if I don't have morning stuff, I still get up at 6:30 just to do work and study. So not expected of me I don't know why I'm doing it who am I even more. 0 comment[s] | back to topspin spin spin spin

My head is spinning so much and I feel sick, like I want to puke. Ugh working until past 12 for the past few nights obviously has its price and I can seriously feel my body deteriorating and getting angry with me. Yes that might not be late compared to some people but it's definitely not healthy for you so whatever. My classmates sleep at 10, it's ridiculous. But right now I have a big headache and I've been desperately wanting to sleep since about 9 but I couldn't because I still have things to do. So the prac exam for stats is tomorrow and it's 25% and yet I hardly spent any time studying for it because I was so busy with my other assignments. Ugh this is SO not going to be good tomorrow and I've been worrying about it so much it's probably why I feel so bad right now. The worst part is that the past exams were only 2 questions and how can you make 25% of our report or whatever, assessed by just two questions?! This is ridiculous because we have learnt so much which is why cramming won't work because if you don't know how to do it on the computer, then you just don't. Which means if you're unlucky and one of those questions is your weak spot then you can kiss 12.5% goodbye. Yes it's question 1 with a, b, c and so on and then question 2 but those question parts are really small and insignificant and together it basically makes up one question. The a, b, and c part doesn't lead you through anything, but just asks you stuff like "okay during your calculation what did blah equal, what was the next step equal to" so yeah it's not much help. So we can bring in notes and you may think that makes it easier to pass the exam but I doubt it because if you bring in say 10 pages there's no way you will be able to use it well seeing as there's only one hour. If you don't know how to do it, I really don't think you'll be able to finish in the hour because you will have to spend time finding out how to do it, if you have it in your notes. And ugh today of all days my laptop's battery says it's dying and needs to be replaced. What to do. 0 comment[s] | back to topARGHHHHHH FINALLY!

I'm sorry about that title but IT'S OVER. NEVER AGAIN. Freaking slaved away at that stupid agen assignment and I only just handed it in just now, 5 minutes before the due "date". Oh I love living the dangerous life (y) Though to be honest I wouldn't have even cared if my internet screwed up all of a sudden and rendered me unable to submit it until tomorrow because it's "just" 10% penalty so whatever. But seriously. WORST ASSIGNMENT EVER. You can tell due to a number of factors. 1. As mentioned yesterday, every stupid government site recommended to us I opened and it's just the usual bullcrap about oh we'll do this but we won't really set out how 2. You can tell no one else cared about this assignment either because for one, everyone got like near pass for the draft (I'm talking 60/100) and when I ask people if they've started on the final (this one), I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say 90% of people said they'd do it today when it's due today. Which reminds me of this meme:
I never understood that meme before because in high school if it's due tomorrow you kind of need to finish it the night before so you can bring it in the next morning? But now I understand cause uni stuff is due at midnight so you could spend the whole day doing it.
Anyway back to my points. 3. Most people said they weren't changing their draft and basically just copying draft and submitting that. That means if you got 60 for draft, you'll practically get 60 for your final. And the thing is? People don't care because...
4. Everyone (including me) doesn't give a damn anymore and anything over 50 (pass) is good enough. Even I'm thinking like that because this assignment was so incredibly stupid it's beyond words.
So if tl;dr, everyone couldn't be stuffed and we don't care as long as we get 50. I'm seriously so surprised at how so many of us are chill about it, left it to last minute, and didn't even bother putting in much effort. But then again this faculty and subject has been screwing around with us all this time with their disorganisation and always pushing our assignments back, which then clash with our other work for other courses.
Ugh and I feel bad cause I only wrote 1550 when required was 2000 though of course it was plus or minus 500 but still... feels too short. And now my wrist is in super pain. I don't know why.
Stupid agen. You have set me back on my other work which is important for this week. Bio quiz (10%) and stats prac exam (25%). Ugh got to get up early and cram tomorrow. Strike again (am I even surprised anymore) tomorrow and my stuff is still running but it's only one lecture so not worth it.
Hurray Japanese tutoring tomorrow, I'm sure my teacher will be able to cheer me up after this stupid mess ^^ And ugh it's 12:15 and I've slept past 12 for like the past three days and this is only going to continue. I bet by the time I actually get into bed it will be at least 12:45.
Sigh. Oops I never finished the beginning thought. NEVER AGAIN will I do a stupid agen assignment. Just a stupid exam to pass and that's it. 0 comment[s] | back to topwritten on Monday, June 3, 2013 @ 11:09 PM ✈
Noooo I simply don't have time to write something worthwhile here T_T
All I'll say is I'm a little sad that tomorrow's bio prac is the last one cause our group is pretty awesome and they're funny and make the prac less of a drag so I'm going to miss not having them in my bio pracs next semester (highly unlikely we'll be in the same class)

Ugh there is a REASON I have been putting this stupid report off for ages. If I can even get 50% I'll be happy because this subject is stupid and you can't find information anywhere and all these stupid government agencies have pages and pages of utter bullcrap that answers nothing and all it says is like "oh yeah well we aim to do this but we're not going to tell you how hahahahaha". God I feel like just filling out the website's feedback form and telling them that they wasted their money compiling their stupid "report" because it's just a bunch of waffling bullcrap that anyone could have written and there is no evidence of anything they said. Sorry for sounding mad but this report is really getting on my nerves. And this is the epitome of why this subject is the most stupidest thing ever: Two government websites and the thing they have in common is? Having no information on it whatsoever. Yippee. Not. 0 comment[s] | back to topsomething I just noticed

Needs to do bio, chem or stats assignment or make notes for them me: omg so much to do so little time quick better power through it -works on it with minimal distractions until it's done- has stupid agen stuff to do me: oh god I ran out of sites for procrastination now what oh I think I'll just clean my room, surf ebay, read a book etc etc. Later... me: oops it's the day before it's due and I haven't done anything better start now. *Doesn't start until two hours before it's due* ----------- I exaggerated but you get the gist of it. Also, I don't like how in bio they refer to the Hardy Weinberg law as "like Newton's First Law." I'm just like
Don't compare your bio with Newton. He's one of my favourite scientists out of the ones we learnt about during high school. I remember during HSC chem and physics I would remember the ones I disliked (cause I didn't like what they discovered and how it was difficult to learn, sad I know lol) and the ones I liked but I'm starting to forget some of the guys I disliked @_@
And noooo if I thought the stuff in bio before was bad (cause I suck at genetics and cell biology) well it's only getting worse because at least that was sort of "info" related but now it's evolution and it's all principles and stuff and eww gross no, brain can't do that. 0 comment[s] | back to topwritten on @ 10:49 PM ✈
Wow I got 459/510 for that 7 page bio report that I had to submit a long time ago (yes, it took them until now to mark them all). That's more than I expected because I know they are quite picky, especially with the discussion part and it's also 90% so hurray! Had hot pot for dinner which was awesome but I realised that I feel sadder today because it's officially the start of winter T_T I don't even want to touch this stupid agen report which is due in three days. 2000 words and what we have to write is so gross and ugh just don't want to think about it. One more week and one more exam for this stupid stupid subject. I honestly don't even care as long as I pass. In fact for the draft report I barely passed and I was like "meh". But most people I talked to also just got over pass and the average was like 60. 0 comment[s] | back to top |
