"Can you feel this magic in the air? It must have been the way you kissed me..."
Oh, sorry ^.^ Please don't flatter yourself and think I was referring to you, because I wasn't. I was just listening to Taylor Swift and though, hmm I'm gonna blog, and next thing I know that's my first line. Besides, half the people who read this blog would be a little weirded out if I kissed them... So would I...
Stuff you Blogger for not thinking 'weirded' is a word >.< Wait but it accepts the second one? Asdfghjkl!
Today I travelled the painfully long hour to Gatton to attend the Open Day for the University of Queensland. My first thought? It smells here... Literally. All I could smell at first was the lovely scent of horse and cow manure. I was like, and this is where I'm going for Uni... Ha! But thankfully, the equine and bovine precincts are a fair distance from the main area with the accommodation I may or may not be living in next year... Or the year after? Ugh I hate money >.< Anyways. Another thought I had was "Holy moly, I think this place could even be bigger than the St Lucia campus!" Which is scary... The major difference between St Lucia and Gatton though is St Lucia looks more scarier which the tall, modern, fancy buildings. Gatton is way more laid back. Literally. Most of the buildings look kinda old on the outside, but new on the inside. The atmosphere is relaxing though, which was good for me considering I went round on my own for half the day. Yeah, my family ditched me... >.<
People were walking round with dogs and everything! I think one chick had a baby pig wrapped up in a blanket and was walking round... I have fallen in love with the place. It's my kinda place, ya feel me? Jokes... But seriously. UQ Gatton = Love.
EXCEPT! The sessions they held today. I went to the Vet Science one really keen to get some info... All they gave me was stuff I heard before. I was like, =.= I am at Gatton, the home of animals, agriculture and the like; and the best you can give me is "This is what you'd do in the first year, second year, etc. And this is what you can do once you finish it." I don't know what more I wanted... But everything I was told today, I'd already heard at least once before... Ughhh >.< I ended up not going to the last session and headed home... Good timing though because the rest of my family came back and looked ready to kill each other and go home... Family love FTW guise.
I don't know. I liked but didn't like Gatton at the same time. I'm not entirely sure what it is. Maybe it's the fact that after today I am slightly re-questioning AGAIN What I am going to do. Ugh. There are so many things to work out. The two courses I want to do would mean I would spend at least 9 years in University. If I want to complete them both. This means lotsa $$$. And I don't exactly have money growing out of trees or anything... But I badly want to do them both! Vet Science I have wanted to do my whole life, and the other one (Dual degree of Agribusiness and Applied Science) is a course I am going to use to get there. If I get a GPA of at least 6.0 after my first year in the dual, I can get into Vet Science straight away. But, who knows if I get in that course and fall in love and want to finish it? Not to mention the Asia trip in the fourth year :3 But I try not to base my biased decisions on that... Heh.
The main issue with all of this is my parents. I swear, they are what makes it so freakin' tough going to University. I am currently unemployed, and am seeking out jobs like there's no tomorrow. None of them are taking me. I'm sure [Tenuto Tuo] would agree with me here when I say that it makes it hard trying to do what you want to do and love, only to have your parents say otherwise. I mean, my parents are all for me doing what I want... To an extent. And that extent is money. Which is great! Cause you know, I'm not perfectly capable of paying off my HECS fee once I get a job...
But whatever! Right?
I can't be bothered to go any further into that right now so I'll just move on...
[Riot!] gave me some more songs from the band, Paramore, and I am just gonna say that I hate him for it! I am kidding of course... I just feel like I'm starting to betray my beloved Europop music by listening to a couple of Paramore's songs, that I have fallen in love with, on repeat... I mean, I'll always be loyal to Luan Santana, Darin and Eric Saade; but it's not helpful when you have your best friend trying to convert you to the music he likes... ^.^ Heh, maybe I should reverse the situations... Try Europop on for size [Riot!] ;P
Oh yeah, and guyz my throat is still being a bitch to me >.< Whenever I feel like recording a video to put on Facebook my throat goes "Hahaha no bitch, I'ma make you burn now". This. Sucks.
I have my last ever Athletics Carnival this Friday... I was anticipating this day for an entire year. Being in Year 12 means I can dress up, which is always good fun! But as the day came closer I realised I had no $$ to get a anything that could resemble a costume of some form; and there's also the fact that my life is currently a soap opera whereby I can't hang out with one friend because another will be there. This will also happen on my last ever Night of Celebration so I am so psyched right now about everything! =.= Seriously.
QCS is the week after this one... I'm not overly worried about it. I mean, I'm gonna try my best but in the end what's it going to achieve? I have the rest of the year level who could potentially bring me down, as well as my pretty sucky grades. I'm going to be aiming for an A in the test, but I would happily settle for a B. If I aim for a B then I'll end up getting a C which is definitely not good...
According to [Tenuto Tuo]'s OP calculator thing, if I get a B on the QCS with the current grades I have then I will most likely be looking at an OP 8. It's not as great as I would've expected I could have achieved in years 8 or 9; but in year 12 that's pretty damn good to me! It's a single digit, what's more to love?

Ever been young and naïve and wished for things? Could be anything really... But then you get what you want... Potentially even more, and all of a sudden you realise how much you don't want it. Yeah. I'm going through a major case of that right now. I don't want to go into details. I mean, if you are a devoted reader you could potentially already know the very basics of it. But that's as far as I've divulged into this topic. It is way too personal and complicated to be put on here. I'd never know where to start anyway.
Well, I wanted this to be a positive blog, but I guess nothing turns the way you expect it...
I shall leave you all here until next time fellow amigos.
Oh and please ignore the random colouring of today's blog. Blogger decided to play games with me. >.<
