Time to get sucked in

Easing back to revision has been a roller-coaster ride. It's great on some days, terrible on others. Working full time, and doing the YouTube thing is exhausting enough.
nonetheless, if you want something to happen, you have to put in the hours.. and the work to achieve it.

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!!!

dearly beloved

for the past few days it seems that everytime i lay on my bed, ready to go to sleep, the gamsat test creeps into my head. today i decided to separate the associations of sleep with gamsat. to do this, i made a list of all the topics that i could think of that came on the test. there weren't a lot that i could remember, and it seems the questions themselves seem so far away - but still, i think i felt traumatised by how many questions i found hard on the test day. i hope to get better sleep tonight knowing that i've written out the topics. yay for brains being weird.

these essays

it hit me. today as i was going through the list of themes used in gamsat, in acer's ridiculous random themes there is actually some order. all of the themes share a common ground. they are issues doctors would have to face on a day to day.. or even in the lifetime career of any medical profession. they are not set merely to test our language, they are in a sense capturing one aspect of our perspective of a given emotion, in the hopes that we would be able to draw up our knowledge and experience to tackle such issues, the right way.

as i watched today unfold, i couldn't help but see this theme projected right in front of me. these supposedly unpredictable and unexplainable themes, they exist in life. learning to tackle the challenges faced in life equips us with the knowledge to answer these essays. these questions that though we might not ponder over them consciously, but inevitably we ponder over them.

mirror's edge

classy me. i feel nostalgia for playing pc games. one of which i am looking forward to playing.. after the exam that of course - is mirror's edge. something about the fast pace of that game, coupled with amazing graphics and the heart-stopping jumps.. totally miss it :<
panic isn't enough to keep my motivation up, i need to really grill down with revision.
did a sec 1 half exam, and got 59% on the paper.. now that looks all yummy on the outside but i remember the damn questions.. even though i had done it back in august! so.. that counts as cheating because i did the paper before, right? the questions which i haven't done before (the ones i normally guess at the end) i scored 62% (8/13) which is great if i wasn't doing the paper timed! i need to speed up :/
