Pains of growing up

Okay, I think you guys are going to go ballistic when I say the next line.

Just a few minutes ago, I checked out the Trinity College, Monash University and University of Melbourne's home website.

Okay, before you yell at me, let me explain.

Well, you guys know that I want to enter Medicine right?

Yeah, anyway, my dad asked me to check out the entry score for Medicine for both the two Universities above... and since Trinity is a pathway to the Uni of Melb, too.

And I'm doomed guys. I don't think I'll ever be taking Medicine.

You want to know why?

Okay, the entry score for Melbourne Uni from Trinity College is 96. Yes guys, the big whooping NINE SIX. NINETY SIX OUT OF A HUNDRED!!! Who can get so bloody high man? Except for geniues like Aidan! I cannot enter anymore. Sob* I can never dream of getting that high. Sigh* It is near impossible.

And then Monash? HAH! Okay, this one is not so bad as Melb Uni but still... You're supposed to total four of your best subs from your Foundation in Monash... so it's out of 400. And to get into Monash Medicine, you have to get 360! Oh my God! That's like... like... 90 for each paper man! And to get in, you have to get like high marks for Chem and Eng! Lord, I'm doomed. Chem was never good anyway. English... never will dream of getting so bloody high.

Oh wellz... life goes on. I'll enjoy the rest of my childhood first. Sob* Sob* Sob*

We had this NO APOLOGIES talk today. Haha. It's okay la I guess. Anyway, we were divided into 8 teams... I'm team Four. And my group consists of Tiff, Van, Tan, Khang Wee, Sing Yue and Kai Lun. All of us were kinda asleep by the end of the day... well maybe except for Tiff who was still quite alert.

So first off, we watched the No Apologies video. It was kinda sad watching all those teens pour out their regret concerning their crushed dreams because of one mistake.

After the video however...
Tan: *wipes the tears from her eyes and sniffs* That's so sad...
Me: *puzzled* Since when were you so emotional?
Tan: HAH! I"M NOT! *breaks off into raucous laughter*
Yeesh.

Then we had to finish the exercises in the workbook and I'm constantly having my workbook either being snatched away for have ppl peer at my answers. Whatever happened to individuality guys?! LOL

Then we were rating our characters. Like there were diff sections to our character. Like honesty and reponsibility and stuff more la. The section with the highest score is your strongest character. The section with the lowest score is your weakest character. 30 is the full score. If you get 25 onwards, you're strong in their character and you're supposed to keep doing what you do. 20 - 24 is all right but you can improve.

So while we were doing...
1) Kai Lun: Why I everything get 24 one????!!!! Must be something wrong!
2) Tan: WAH! I get 29 for Justice oh! I'm very justice!
Me, Van: You're very what? *blink blink*
Tan: I"M VERY JUSTICE LA!
Me: I think you mean JUST Tan.
Tan: *blinks uncertainly* OH yeah... I'm very JUST.
3) Tan: Eh look eh look. *points excitedly at the back* Look at Mrs Ngu.
The entire group turns to look.
Mrs. Ngu has the No Apologies workbook opened to the same page as ours (the personality rating quiz) and is writing down her answers furiously into a foolscap paper. Her face contorts as she attempts the question.
Sing Yue: Eh, eh, look at her face. Do until so heong.
The entire table laughs making her look up briefly before resuming.
Tan: How hard can the quiz be? I mean come on la... so fast can finish already wad.
Lol...
4) Me: Hey Kim, what's your highest score?
Kim: 29 why?
Me: Nth just wanna know. So what is your strong point?
Kim: I dunno.
Me: But you just said you got 29 for one of them what...
Kim: Yeah, I just calculate I didn't see what my strong point was.
Right...

Then we has this media literacy crash course next. We had to like draw a "kid" and then paste brand products around the kid to portray a media influenced kid. Anyway, it was a competition and everyone was racing against time....
1) We were tearing up mag pages as we went. Cutting like hell. Pasting like hell. Drawing the kid like hell. It was fun man. Our desk was like strewn with papers by the time we were done. We did a lot of ridiculous stuff. Like chop off peoples' bodies to obtain sunglasses and dresses. lol...

Halfway through the competition...
Sarajane falls off the chair AGAIN. However, Colin (the facilitator) was walking behind her and caught her just before she hit the floor. Talk about timely rescue. It was funny though.

Well, the last part of the session was kinda slow and boring. Talking about STDs and stuff. Too factual and boring... LOL So me and Tan were like joking about Cikgu Tan Ah Siang and Mrs. Ngu paktohing because they were sitting so close to each other (at one desk actually!) and they kept whispering to one another!! And at one point, me and Tan turned to stare at them and they stared back at us. We turned back to the talk immediately without hesitation... but still joking about them being naughty and pak tohing. Hahahaha....

Well, tomorrow we have to stay till 6. Hope it's not as boring as that last session though. Tata!
