Yesterday a group of fifteen TSAC'ers headed to the St Lucia campus of the University of Queensland... We went by, wait for it... MAXI TAXI! Because we are just that epic, word.
So anyways, my first thoughts walking into UQ went a little something like this...
$#@&!!! THIS PLACE IS MASSIVE! ZOMG I'M GONNA GET LOST HERE! I'M A LONER IN THE FIRST TWO SESSIONS WHAT THE HECK AM I GONNA DO?!? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Yeah... Turns out they had guides leading us around which was incredibly helpful! Especially my first guide... Ehehehehe... Why hello there! And what are you studying here? :P Unfortunately, I didn't have the balls to ask him... It's not like I'd be studying on that campus next year anyways (totes devo) so I'm never gonna see him again /Dramatic sigh/.
But seriously, thank goodness I'm going to go to the Gatton campus! It's gonna be smaller, which I shall find a lot better than walking around that giant of a campus! =.=
So yeah, my first session was Taste Testing As A Part Of Your Day Job which turned out to be quite fun. Our speakers were called Honest and Priscilla, and I made three new friends within five minutes! Mostly because we were put in a waiting room together with a few minutes of nothing to do... But talk! ^.^ All I recall doing is watching a couple of videos on stuffs, listen to Honest talk about burnt milk and tastebuds... I don't think there was really a point to what he was saying, but he's cool anyways! And eating chips and tim tams... Ehehe. Why else would I choose such a session up first?
Next was A Diverse Career With Animals which of course was my main one that I was hanging out for. My speaker was this really nice guy called Sky (or Skye? Eh) and he really helped me decide what I want to do! I mean, things are still a teensy bit sketchy but I'm more grounded with what I want to do...
I AM GOING TO BE A VET! Yeah, I've always wanted to be a vet, but a year or two ago I gave up that dream because an OP 1 is impossible for me to achieve. So my second choice was then a Dual Degree in Agribusiness and Applied Science (majoring in Animal Science and Wildlife Management). But while sitting that lecture, my passion for veterinary science was re-awakened and Sky kept saying how there are back doors in.
So! I have decided! I shall do the Dual Degree like I still want to do. I'm not sure if I'll go through with the whole four years, or cut it off after one (given that I get a GPA of 5.8). I only need to do one year then transfer into Vet Science, but it depends on how much I enjoy the Dual Degree... Oh and the trip to an Asian country in the fourth year is a major keeper for me ^.^
So yeah, I won't know until halfway through next year but it's all G! There's no rush...
Last was A Backstage Pass: Organising A Rock Festival. Yeah I almost fell asleep with this one... It was to do with Events Management which is more [Phantomess]'s kinda thang... I only chose it because it was the most interesting thing for me... Similar to Session 1 really.
So yeah, we got back to school after that to find that English Extension had been cancelled... HECK YEAH! I mean, gosh that sucked... ^.^
I was in a good mood! I got home all cheerful! I would have been singing, but I can't... Damn you vocal rest! =.= So yeah, all happy like until I got on my laptop and saw that I had a Facebook inbox from [Carl]. I flipped out. Literally! I jumped, almost screamed and ran across the room hyperventilating and death glaring the laptop. (Yes, I enjoy being melodramatic). All it said was "so hows things......" But that one sentence sent my mind into a whirlwind of confusion and stress...
I won't go into details, but the conversation ended with him requesting me at the school bubbler's this morning so he could vent his anger onto me; the object of his anger and frustration. A part of me understood that he needed to do it, another part of me was like asdfghjkl can I not go through it please?
But of course I did. It wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be... For some reason I thought he would come up and slap me and start yelling profanities... Thankfully he didn't. But what he did do was remind me (for the thousandth time) what I did and how I hurt him and everything, and asking me 20 questions. Which I found irritating because he should have moved on by now... Because I had, but now he's brought me back to square one. I'm rethinking and over thinking everything again, and doubting whether I made the right decision.
I mean, I miss aspects of our relationship. How could I not? It doesn't exactly help when I'm now with someone who hasn't had a girlfriend before me... Not that I'm blaming him, it's clearly not his fault! I guess the adjustment is really taking it's toll... To the point where I'm unsure what I want. I seem to have difficulties when it comes to things like this... =.= I never know what I have till it's gone; and I guess I'm one of those people where if I want something, I'll go after it, but once I have it I want something else... Then I get whatever that is but miss what I used to have. I'm so messed up right now, I have no idea what I'm going to do...
Ahem, moving on... This afternoon at school the year 12's were told we had this QCS practice thingy... SO we head in and there's this guy... My first honest thought when I first saw him and heard him speak? 'He's a fuddy duddy snob who could be gay..." But no, he's married... But the snob part is correct. He was insulting pretty much every school except for Brisbane Girls because they're the top or something... He was incredibly over-the-top and (personally) he tended to use wrong tone of voice in situations... At one point he said "there's always one stupid ranga" referring to a guy in my class; and continued to refer to him as Ranga for half the time until he decided it was worth learning his name.
The title is one line I distinctly remember him saying... Suzie is his wife... Yeah, the way he said that line was quite creepy... As well as him saying at least twice, can you pee? Referring to the PEEL paragraphing technique... It was just weird. Just weird. I don't feel sorry for the year 11's (potentially year 10 and onwards too?) who will be getting him more next year. Heh.
So this fine evening what am I doing? Well... Facebook, iTunes and Blogger really. That's how much of a life I have! :P But I am hoping I can plan an outing with someone to go see the last Harry Potter movie this weekend, as well as go to an Expo. I guess homework fits in there somewhere ^.^
~I've been there, I thought she was the one, until I realised that she was gone...~
