Hey Hey Guys,
I bet your all at the edge of your seats waiting in great anticipation for my results :P haha... and even if your not, your going to sit there and read this and be proud :P Ok? Deal!
We will start with the best one :P Anatomy and Physiology... I had hoped since the first exam of the semester that I was setting myself up for some kick arse marks, but I must admit that I was blown away with HOW good the mark actually was!!
SIDE NOTE: Just incase you aren't aware, in the QUT grading system a 7 is regarded as the top mark and a 2 is regarded as a fail.
Ok so, I got a 7 in Anat and Phys... But even MORE awesome then that, is that my overall percentage (out of 100 of course) is 96%... 4% off the very very top :D I'm very extremely stoked with that... We don't get shown how well we did compared to everyone else, but I have a pretty good feeling that I've gotta be close to number 1 in the class... Which is a pretty kick arse achievement I must say :D
Then, Life Science, I got a 6 :) Which I was really happy with, I did think that maybe all I'd get was a 5... And my percentage was 80... Which was 5% off a 7.... so that's pretty awesome :D
Maths, Good ole maths. For maths I got a 5... I had hoped for a 6, but really a 5 is awesome... The kind of disappointing thing is that it was 72%... Which was only 3% off a 6... BUT hey, that's life :)
And Chemistry, well Chem was the shock of the day.... I had DEFIANTLY convinced myself that it wouldn't effect my GPA too badly if I were to fail Chem... I was so hopeful that I would get a pass... Just a pass (a 4)... But to my amazement and joy I got a 5 :D a 5 and 70%... To me that was the greatest achievement!! I was sooooooooooo happy and shocked!!
I was really really proud and still am to tell you the truth! I am super super determined to make my dream a reality and I know I can do it :D
Just while I think of it, I wanna put a shout out to all my friends and family who have been so excessively supportive of me and really really encouraging :D So many times I wanted to give up but there was always someone to turn to to put me back on the learning wagon!!
Anyway, bored yet? hehe :P Until next time... Keep smiling!! xoxo

Holidays, Holi days.... Holy Holy Days
Well, as you probably assumed... I'm on holidays :D
It only took weeks and weeks of studying and a month of exams... but FINALLY I am free... Well for the next few weeks anyway :P
My first exam was on the 13th of June... and it was for Maths... after almost an entire semester of detesting maths... and crying every time I tried to study it with no joy... It finally clicked... In about week 11 or 12... I'm not sure what happened, but it just wasn't scary anymore... It made sense and studying it wasn't a stressful tear filled experience... And much to my surprise, I actually ended up being HELPFUL to others in my class... It was really insane!! Anyway, so when the exam came around I was totally ready for it!! I haven't yet got my results back, but I feel I did quiet well... I am hoping for a 5 or 6...
The next exam was Life Science... Which I actually found REALLY hard to study, like not that the content was hard, just it was boring or something.... I just couldn't stay overly focused on it, but I still put in my best effort and again I wasn't nervous on the day of the exam... I don't think I had to guess as many multi choice questions as I thought I would, and I felt pretty good about the short answer questions... so here again I am hoping for a 5 or 6...
After that was Anatomy and Physiology... I'm feeling very confident about this subject as I have well... kicked arse in all assessment (although I haven't received my final results) I was on 55% for he entire unit even before the end of semester exam... So I will be disappointed not to get a 7 for this subject...
Finally, I had chemistry... Which I was completely unprepared for... However, I hadn't realised how far behind I actually was until a few days before the exam when I had time to study... And I looked at my notes and more then half of it didn't even seem familiar... I seriously couldn't even remember learning it and THAT was really scary!! However, I sat down, opened up my text book at Chapter One... and together with my lecture notes I worked though the text book and thoroughly covered up to about week 9... week 10-13 were a bit sketchy as I ran out of time to cover them properly... I had all but convinced myself and my parents that IF I failed Chem it wouldn't be the end of the world and I would make up for it next time!! For this exam, I was nervous... On the train on the way in I had to keep reminding myself to breath :P and I had lots of butterflies in my stomach, but by the time I got to uni Id convinced myself that there was nothing else I can do whatever happens happens... During perusal time... I was too scared to open the booklet... Its funny, normally I'm really keen to get into it and see what the questions are and I do it without hesitation, but with this one... I wanted to open it, but it was like my hands wouldn't do it!! Eventually they did however, and any doubt cleared... I seemed to know a lot more questions then I thought I did.... It was out of 60, and I worked out that I guessed around 20 of them... which is a pretty high rate to guess, but I was expecting to have to guess a lot more! So its fair to say I will be more then stoked with a 4 for chemistry :)
After my semester of uni I am more keen then ever to kick more arse and get even better results next semester! I am REALLY REALLY enjoying my life at the moment and I am really proud of what I am working to do! I really feel like I am on the right track and I am very confident that I will get the GPA I need to transfer into Pharmacy.
But anyway, for now I am relishing in my holidays and trying to work as much as possible to replenish all the spending I did in celebration of finishing my exams :P
My results come out on Monday 9th July, So you'll DEFIANTLY be hearing from me!!
