Hmm... So, the mock exams are over. Frankly, it feels like exams are over full stop. Playing until late, slacking, no studying etc. But I guess taking a break is a good thing too... Right? The final two weeks of school in my LIFE start on Monday... Quite an entertaining prospect to say the least.

So... I think the Methods Paper 2, which I cared so little about I didn't even study for the night before, turned out to be the one with the biggest adrenaline rush. I don't think many people finished the paper at all, and I was shocked at how little time I actually had. Barely managed to scrape the last question in after writing time was over (one mark, just write the answer type of question). Coming out of the exam was a super anti-climax though... Emily stands there cooly with the rest of my tuition friends, and I ask her how she went. "Oh, we've done the paper before in tuition." "Full marks." GG. Crushed my spirits right there.

So I trudged off dejectedly in the direction of the train station, to head off to uni(?!) on a Friday afternoon. The reason for which was that I had mock exams, and had to call up the uni (such a hassle, really) and request a prac time change. I called up right, and then the receptionist picks up "Blah blah, Biology office". Then when I ask for a prac time change (this is one day before the day I was actually supposed to go for the prac), she says: "Oh sure, just come down to the uni, pick up a form, submit it and get it processed and approved before your prac date." Me: -_-" "Oh, I was told to mention I'm a UMEP (University of Melbourne Extension Program) student?" Receptionist: "OHHH! Moushiwake gozaimasen! I will sort that out for you right away (sir). Could I have your student number please? Which day was that again? And transfer to which day? Very good (sir). On the day before your prac, if you would be so kind as to grace us with your presence and pick your completed form up." "Uhh... Thanks >.>".

Turns out, switching prac times for a week wasn't such a bad thing. Firstly, in my usual prac session, our whole bench of 8 are all UMEP students, so we all kind of know each other, stick in a group and not socialise with the other legit uni students. But in the Friday prac, I only had one other UMEP student on the other end of the bench who I didn't know very well either. Smiles and waves were the extent of our exchange. I ended up being designated to sit next to this asian girl. After hearing her speak a few times, I asked where she was from, since I was relatively sure she was Singaporean, to which she replied that she was. The conversation took off from there (you can tell the prac was SUPER boring... Plant reproductive methods for the loss). Turns out, her name was Laura and she was actually an ACJC student who finished her A's last year, and she was 19. I was like wow, someone remotely linked to my previous life... She even mentioned some names of my seniors I recognised. Nice girl, she actually reminded me a lot of someone I know from back home. 2 months to go.

Sort of regret not getting her MSN, probably might have been a good idea to get hold of something like that. Contacts are always a good thing. Meh.

David, I'm really sorry about being late and not meeting my promise that time, even though it didn't seem so then. Honestly didn't realise you would take it so badly. Yeah. Apologies again. *

Tomorrow, I plan not to study. Which might or might not happen, depending on... What I will be subjected to throughout the course of the last day of holidays. I really remember studying more in the September holidays in Year 11...

Good night.

* about a game. T.T

Edit: P.S. Yay, 1000+ visitors :D (even though probably 75% of that was all me -.-")
