Today, the world ended. More precisely, mine did. Temporarily. Yes, the Uni Bio Mid-year Disaster. I will try not to divulge the details... Only that I doubt I have ever been so unprepared, nor done as badly, nor been as unconfident of my answers after, than has been the case with any other exam in my life. The plus side is that I think that I should have at least managed to pass, of which I honestly expected, and expect, nothing more.

It was an odd feeling, sitting in an examination hall (Royal Exhibition Building) with thousands of students, in casual clothes, on a school morning, in the heart of the city, all alone in the crowd, knowing that you somehow didn't quite belong there. It IS quite a challenge to find familiar faces when there are thoudsands of stressed, sleep-deprived, restless students roaming within a small space outside the entrance waiting for doors to be opened.

Somehow, though, I picked out Sharleen from a distance, and after some application of crowd navigation skillz, managed to say hello. Sharleen was in my 3/4 Chinese class last year (I finished year 12 chinese last year), and is now in some food science course in Melbourne Uni. She also had a Bio exam, the same one. Quite an inopportunate instance for a chance meeting I must say, what with the elevated tensions often associated with the phase of waiting for examination room doors to open. I can hardly remember what was exchanged there, only that I responded like a zombie, and as far as I know so did she. But either way, it was nice to see a familiar face.

After that, from the time I walked into the examination hall, all I saw was familiar face after familiar face. A few other UMEP students (University of Melbourne Extension Program, the thing i'm doing), ex-Wesley students from last year. And then I saw a girl wearing the AC jumper... Well, I was actually stunned for a few seconds before remembering that ACS(I) went co-ed the year I left... Then I realised I was staring (during the exam, she was walking out), so hard that she actually shot me a questioning glance -_-".

Well, no more Uni Bio, at least for the rest of this term. I managed not to do any work at all today. I am two weeks behind with English homework AND classes (yeah, I missed about 4), thank God spec didn't do anything new. Methods SAC continues tomorrow. Chem and Bio mid-years next week. Hooray~.

You guys were so supportive and stuff while I died my slow death, really helped a lot with the stress and motivation! You know who you are, thanks so much!! I really, really appreciate it. It's nice to know that when the world sways, true friends stay constant =).

Bye.
