1) went to gold coast with lorraine and some college people. it was fun! at least i thought it was. amidst the political ramblings, which i just brushed aside. we went to movieworld and dreamworld. loved the rollercoasters at movieworld, not many but they are definitely exciting. also got a severe sore throat as a result of all the unnecessary screaming. haha.
2) i got in to medicine at the university of queensland. so much paperwork to complete regarding my acceptance, but it's worth it. had to settle my disrupted national service which is a real pain in the ass. going to spend every single day of my time back home in singapore doing NS!
3) got an interview for medicine at ANU, which is australia's #1 university. turns out that they are lowest ranked for medicine, which i only found out after attending the interview (was fun, haha). other interviewees there didn't seem to like me as i had already gotten in to medicine, in fact i feel rather bad for even showing up for the interview! oh well i wanted to experience it anyway.
4) decided to stay in a residential college next year! figured its about time i made friends with more australian people. i applied to international house in brisbane, hope it's all good there.
5) tests, tests, tests. did well for some, crap for others. one of the pre-reqs for getting into medicine is that i actually have to pass my undergrad or they forfeit the offer. sounds brainless, but turns the pressure up significantly!!!
6) sick sick sick. melbourne weather finally getting to me. 25 degrees in the arvo, sub-10 at night. helloo?!
till next time,
c.
