So far away

It has been a while. So much has happened since my last post. Started a chilled youtube channel (check the video above) and have been distant from the books for over a month. Friends from Australia had began preparation for interviews, pondering over which universities to go for, and asking questions about their next step. I feel as though I've made no progress.. On top of it all, Scribblar had changed their policies and now expects their users to pay to use rooms. Something which should remain free for all. Absolutely appalled by this!!!

i need to see change

frustrations kicking in, everytime i figure something out, another problem crops up, stripping away the confidence. i need to start seeing progress, i need to see change!!!
section 1 and 3 half test done, awaiting discussion over at scribblar. more biology done this week.. there is so much more material left to cover, i feel really annoyed with myself.

chillstep for revision

is it too early? i've resorted to places like plug.dj to update my music list and i've come across some amazing music to help me keep focused. to put it simply, the genre is called chillstep.
much much has been happening this week, bio revision, bio questions, essays, finished off orange booklet, started reading a new book about philosophy, gone through the physics questions.. aah too much done, though i still feel its not enough >.<

wild flowers

online essays today - typed and ready <3
i bought some flowers to add a bit of life into my boring looking study desk.. its getting filled with papers, booklets, practice essays.. it needs order and more life.

the devil in the essay themes

is it just me or some essay themes seem to be so terrible?! maybe its because i find the topics boring but meh, some of them really do really fry your brain.
accomplished today section 3 timed practice acer questions, wrote 2 essays, attended doc's seminar and made my very first kale salad! i think i'm slightly more happy about the kale salad than the rest of the stuff i've done today >.>; moving on to marking section 3 now fun times.

zOMG kale salad with pine nuts, peppers, tomatoes spring onions, baby spinach, lemonz and rocket leaves :D

putting knowledge to the test

did the acer practice questions under exam conditions and scored 51% w00p w00p! first time i ever scored over 50% but i really need to work on timing!

lazy sunday

one lazy sunday its been! absolutely no motivation to revise, at all. I barely squeezed in an essay today, maybe i'm just using really hard themes.. meh, its blatantly obvious that a crappy complicated theme like prejudice would come up in the exams.

light up the sky

2 more essays done, work experience letter done, section 2 essay help notes done. 2 hours of uninterrupted revision on biochemistry next on the menu prior to marking sec 1 stuffies. lets keep going!

moar essay madness

just realised, thats 3 essays done this week - 1 more left to go and we have a status quo
my VO max was complete rubbish today i feel like i'm back in the dark ages again aghh.. i hate stopping exercise - its nothing intentional but when you're sick, you're sick! what can you do that will count as exercise without the flu symptoms completely destroying your mood to work out?
i found the perfect fix to stop me wanting a nap in the late afternoon - apply foundation!!!! ehehehe
merry christmas by the way :>

sour essays about punishment

did a punishment essay today from the blue acer booklet and i have to say, it was punishing enough getting through it under timed conditions. today has been the first day where i didn't have a coughing fit/muscle pains from the flu i've suffered with for the past 2.5 weeks. it means i'm exercising tomorrow w00p w00p :D
i've spent the day organising all the documents collected from my hca job into a neat and organised folder. it should make things easier for me to use when i need to revise what i've learned in time for job interviews.. meh.. didn't realise how much strain came with getting organised! anyways, at least i've started the revision process, i need to continue building up the load, and clearing out what i don't need from my room. its been a good day today :)

a post to keep on track

I wish i could say i've been revising. i wish i could tell you about all the wonders i've learned over the past weeks. i wish i could say that life has been good to me.. in reality the past weeks have been chaos. mainly, its my fault, and i'll be the first to admit it. i chose to work full time, i chose to volunteer for both the olympics and paralympics... things need to come together, but like water, you can't grip hold of time. with so much on the line.. i need to feel prepared.. and however hard i try to get organised, my energy is wasted elsewhere. be it work, or volunteering, or daily chores.. i feel limited. i barely sleep, and i feel like crap every single day.
i haven't told a soul at work or any of my friends about my intentions to do medicine. i almost did, but the person i spoke to really showed her true colours and reinforced my original decision to keep it a secret. i don't want to be treated differently, just equally as other members of staff.
i attended a physics online seminar with the doc today, and spent the rest of the day going through essay technique, had a nap earlier, and here i am now. i want to complete reading about part a of essays today and squeeze in some practice. i really need it! heres to wishful thinking:

insha'allah

Online session

today i had my first ever online session where i met two wonderful gamsat study buddies jess and fong. it was really lovely meeting others revising for this dreaded exam, and with the sample questions we went through theres so much more i've got to cover to stand a chance in this exam. smart guessing can only take me so far, i need to get practising! it was a huge motivational boost doing the sample questions together, i need to do more theres only 7 weeks left!!!
