don't laugh at me, but i have finally discovered the awesomeness of youtube! people go through step by step lewis dot structures! i missed half the chem lecture last week cause of chem lab, so i got lost for obvious reasons. but now i have answers on youtube (: but i also like the new chem lecturer, since he actually does pen to paper stuff.

and congrats keely! you still have to sign my painting my a few years ago...

free ruler from sermon today! basically about how God is the full 30cm, and we always put a "characteristic/judgemental" ruler on other people, and we always exaggerate our worth, like we are really "5cm" but we put an extra 1 to think we're "15cm"

there weren't any smoothies at maccas, so i my mum got a banana artificially flavoured milkshake for me =/ oh well, she used the monopoly sticker things... now i am craving boost, since i was expecting to have a smoothie today...

(noo, didn't realise this post didn't publish on the day...)

I could have gone out today, but I know during week 5 I would regret it. So inside I watched two movies and added lore flavouring to my food. I am craving outside food. My mum even has a bigger social life than me. She has been going out to eat at least 3 times a week, and If I'm lucky, I get some leftovers. Oh well, I'm sure there will be plenty of opportunity to go out and earnings the future...

Today has been quite unproductive...

Oh, yday, saw this ad on tv about winning stuff, and then I googled stuff. Treehotel/ houses are soooo cool! Especially the mirror cube! When I retire, I would like to either have a beach house, or one of treehotel's houses. You can email then to ask for prices, haha. But even if you stay there for a night, there's nothing to do but enjoy nature, which I guess you would have heaps of time to do when you retire...why am I talking about retirement when I don't even have a job..? Lol.

Good Friday

naturally woke up at 8.30 today, but then decided it was too early for my first day of break, so just laid in bed until 9.30...i think i'm getting used to sleeping for 7 hours.

wrote 7 pages of notes today, which took most of the day. even though 7 doesn't seem a lot, my note handwriting is tiny, so it took a long time...hand hurts now =/ nowhere near done writing stuff.

spent a good part of the day looking at food, on the net. if only i had the money and time and the metabolism, i would go eat at every place i looked at. i even set my home screen on my phone to froyo, first time making my home wallpaper different. it looks so good! well the colour also kind of match the apps colours etc. every time i have froyo, i want more froyo, but that would be a waste if i had one every week. so i have decided that i will try to have bought outside food/snacks/drinks only once in two weeks, unless it's free like Hungry Jacks frozen cokes. also, i have been bringing home at least a can of soft drink since o-week. and today dad got a carton of cans of diet coke (who drinks diet coke?) from someone, so we gave some to our neighbours-lol.

i think i would rather have a few really close friends than heaps of people i know but not close with, but then again, it kind of defeats the purpose of "making connections". oh, i am in dire need of the chemistry textbook. i forgot to mention yesterday that i also got solution into the pipette bulb, which is a big no-no, but it's uni and they have heaps of spares lying around. it took me forever to pipette the solution, which was why i hurried the rest of the experiment and over shot it a few times..

i think i am surviving my very first easter without an easter egg! yay! we still have chocolates from last easter/xmas/bday's uneaten. i don't think easter show is going to make a lot of money this year, since it's not during school holidays, and probs won't be as many stalls at the woolies food dome/random stalls around since the show isn't opened for as long as it normally would, i think. bakesoc offers $10 cashback from tickets, except i am still not at the phase of wanting to go, since i've been at least 8 times.

felt like the use of hash tags were necessary.

a week of goinglate to a 9am lecture, missing out on half a lecture, crashing people's tutes, ending at 2, going to uni before 8.45am.

i did feel prepared for today's test, except i kind of mind blanked, and also the wording! yeah it confused me. even though it's worth 15%, and if i get over 10, then i can maintain a credit average. the thing why i am/was so scared about this test, is because it's supposed to be "free marks" since a) haven't learnt a lot of content b)supposed to be the easier first test c) actually relates to my future, unlike implicit differentiation (which i actually pretty cool). so if i fail this very first test, how will i survive the rest of the 5 years? i've flipped through my sem1 textbook, and oh wow, the derivations at the end are ilke 2 pages long in tiny text, with integration and heaps of trig etc, so i guess that's why they make us do maths for a semester.

noooo. i have to get 2 more teeth pulled out, but that can wait till mid year break. i feel teeth deficient already -lol. apparently wisdom teeth pulling is really dangerous. until then, i will have to suffer through occasional pain.
and apparently i have to get a vaccine next week, in case i become sick. seriously, EVERYONE AROUND ME WHEN I SIT DOWN IS SICK. on the bus, people next to you cough, and behind you they sneeze, and the seat pitch is very small, for my liking. i try to find people who don't seem to be sick and sit near them, but then comes along more people for sniff and cough after i sit down. then just walking/standing someone coughs or sneezes. I CAN'T GET SICK, and i think you're more exposed to germs in uni than in high school. in high school, i just face the same people everyday and my car, so my immune system gets used to it, but not in uni/public transport. heh, train person called some kids today idiots.

since my dentist is next to noggi, i finally tried it today (also after exam comfort food)! first of all, i think it's expensive, compared to the other asian places, ie moochi/yogurberry. and it was soooo tiny for a regular and i don't like their loyalty card. only accumulate 10% of what you purchase, so if i want a free regular, i would have to spent 60bucks, unlike moochi, where you can buy 8 of the cheapest ones, so approx 2.5 times 8 bucks, and then get a free regular. shirley was right, the green tea was bad, luckily i taste tested it. i had tiramisu and watermelon. the tiramisu had a very subtle flavour, like biscotti, but the watermelon was really nice, and not too sweet (i think praus is a bit too sweet for my liking). the texture was pretty good, but again, the serving was small ))): i think so far, i like yogurt world the best, self serve and texture and taste is the best (: oh, and i have to mention again how they have chai. all froyo places use the same spoon now, just their brands printed on the end.

i like the colour theme of this (:

we had a blackout yesterday halfway through our maths lecture, so we didn't end up having our algebra lecture. there were weird sirens, and a voiceover repeating itself, telling us to evacuate. even though i think strikes are cool, and we missed an hour yesterday, now i think it's bad, because you paid for your tuition, so now you're basically getting ripped off. so i lost an hour's worth of my money yday-lol. why are algebra tutors so much better than calculus. went to another algebra tute yday, and again the guy was good. and everyone says their calculus one is bad.

i got to the city in less than 50min today! i guess everyone just takes a day off work cause of the long weekend. there was still a tiny bit of traffic since m2 isn't fixed. sometimes i wonder will i graduate before they finish fixing it? and i've also decided going to city by bus esp during peak hour is the way to go, since they have bus lanes on the harbour bridge and around city etc. oh, and i finished at 2pm today! first time unsw to city bus took 15mins, since there wasn't any school zones (: but i know school zones are good for kids, seriously.

i still don't understand why my parents put down my name for my car. usually when parents buy their kids cars/kids get cars, they just get the keys and say they have a car, but i just knew that my parents put down my name for the car, so it's really technically mine, which explains why insurance cost for the car itself is extra high, like it makes the car kind of worthless (actually my car is worthless, apart from the ctp green slips etc which cost a fortune considering how much my car atm is actually worth). and i hardly ever drive these days. probs 2 hours max a week. i think i do use my mymulti for over what it's worth, which is good and satisfying, but still costs 26bucks each week ): 

i really hate all those online test. can't believe it took me 5 attempts to finally get 100. like 3/5 times i accidentally missed out a bracket or minus sign when typing it in, it's so annoying.

oh, and in chem prac yday, we did titration. well i haven't done chem in over a year, and kind of forgot everything. it took me sooo long to prepare my standard. the when i did start titrating, people were already up to their 3rd one. and my unknown solution was the most...unconcentrated..? so it took me longer to get the naoh out of the burette and then slow the tap close to endpoint. it's actually quite embarrasing if you overshoot it, since it's bright pink, and you do a "walk of shame" to the sink to pour it out/pour it out before the demonstrator glares(?) at you.i over shot it twice, then on the third one, over shot it by 2 drops, but 4th was ok. so then i decided to minus 0.1ml for the overshot ones, and in the end, i got a percentage error of 1% (: yay for fudging results!

bro came back from camp today, after a 6 hour bus trip. apparently the scenery/food there wss nice, but they slept in like massive rooms/halls with teachers. his hair has grown a lot in 4 days. oh, he shaved his hair again this year. so glad i still have a bro in school, since apparently they still have school for two more weeks after long weekend. i guess that's good since during my break, i can do work in silence, and without neighbouring 7yr old kids shouting out crap like "hey DUDES" at the top of their voices

i am going to study and try to "be ahead" of my work this week. so behind in chem. and i think my bio group work isn't going to happen, so i probs have to do most of it myself, why don't people respond to emails? ):

my week 5 is jam packed from beginning to end.

I finally got my textbook yesterday! Don't judge, the bookshop order just took long): but I really like it! It looks heavy but is pretty light, and when you open it, the spine doesn't bend.

I really like my Tuesday arvo bus driver. He makes an effort to drive fast, and gets me home faster. And ending at 4pm is the best, skip all the school zones and it's just before after work peak hour. Unfortunately, I only end at 4 on tues. also, you start to recognise people and bus drivers on your buses. I still don't understand the logic of parents bringing their under 3 year olds to work? Do they have child care in the city...?

Volunteer for Optus rock corps with me guys! Give 4 hours, get free concert ticket(: I'm going to the castle hill one if anyone's interested.
My week 5 is going to be crazily busy, weddings, eisteddfods etc and then week 6mon is a maths test:/ so sorry guys, I don't want to go out during mid sem break...

Blogging on the bus saves time (:

I find that it's hard to study vision stuff on the bus...

places i would like to currently eat for ok prices: chef's gallery, chat thai, lauderee macarons.

i've decided that i won't go to quay until i get my first proper paycheck. seriously, if i eat at the best restaurant in australia, what good food would i eat when i actually have a job and when i'm older? also, i think i will save going to the top few restaurants in the world for when i retire, since most of those restaurants YOU HAVE TO BOOK AT LEAST A YEAR IN ADVANCE, well the last time i checked...

i swear maple doesn't work past 10pm. no luck completing anything this weekend. still so confused about some stuff. can't wait till tute on tues.

40 equations to remember by thursday, plus many diagrams, 2 pracs, definitions and other content, all learnt in three weeks.

so you may think, oh 40 equations is easy, well, in optics, we deal with negative distances (which basically means maths high school lied), and so many positive/negatives with directions/angles/heights/powers etc, it all gets really confusing. oh and the wording of the problems is also confusing. how will i study all this in a few nights? plus other assignments and stupid maple tests which i can never solve at home, but have to ask the people to help me. i guess my 2 hour chunks of breaks this week will be all maple, while bus rides will be filled with memorising stuff.
