●● EXAMS OVER! ●●
Today is an exceptionally meaningful day :) Labels: SCHOOL Days
Exams are finally over and it's bona fide! It has never seemed so positive before. The four of us almost had our little exultant dance of celebration. BECAUSE WE ARE GRADUATING!!! *can you imagine our joys?*
We were like congratulating each other because we are going to be 大学毕业生! *awesome*
It was hell of a semester, oh and not forgetting the previous one too. Gosh. Uni life's so merciless :( but i survived. I did survived. I'm very proud of it :)
The aussie style of examinations is hyper-stunning for first-timers. Why? The multitude of questions that they expect you to answer in the sheer compressed frame of time is insane. It just sent me to mars and back whenever i sit for the papers here. However!!, i learnt my lesson from the preceding essence of my experience.
WRITE AS THOUGH YOU HAVE HYPERSONIC EMPOWERED HANDS, AND WRITE CONCISELY. Don't ever bother thinking about beautifying your handwriting. You have no time for dainty handwriting. *sure regret one*
Thus with the experience as an old-bird, i finished all my exams on time for this sem. THANK GOD. It's still the same crazy aussie style of examination for this sem. You know, I freaked out last sem when i couldn't finish my medsurg exam. Gave away so much marks, and i think God really blessed me. I'm astounded that i didn't fail.
I thought i sure die one.
Research (Tuesday, 07/11/2006, 1350-1710):
Anyway, the moment when i stepped into today's wentworth terrace examination hall, i got a shock, perhaps the size of a HUMUNGOUS mammoth (if i have to quantify my amount of distress). I saw the large piece of graph paper sitting immaculately on my allocated desk. -_- panic sia. how many years never draw graph liao?! anyway, its such a constrasting experience to have an open book exam.
Psychiatric (Monday, 06/11/2006, 1250-1610):
Honestly, psy nursing is such an ambivalence. I love it so much but the studying-for-exam-part almost drove me to a state of derailment and incoherence. I was literally cooping at home, flipping pages and pages of notes and furiously trying to commit them into my apparently-small-memory. Definitely very ego-dystonic. However, i did enjoy ALL my psy lessons :) i guess it's really an imperatice antecedent factor for my motivation to work in the future psychiatric arena.

Oh anyway, dr bill is the MOST EFFECTIVE lecturer ever in USYD. It's a pure miracle! He spent a mere 5 days or so to finish marking all our assignments. THAT IS SO EFFICIENT! thumbs up to him! He remarked "The essays are of very high standards indeed". Hopefully so arh. Instantly, he lifted our moods prior to the psy paper. NO WONDER he is a psychiatric clinician. He prevented our precipitating anxiety attacks.
