Im freeeeeee

Last paper ended at noon and went to town with the med gang. The 6 of us sat outside Austral by the sidewalk and celebrated with jugs of beer. Managed 2 1/2 pints before feeling slightly tipsy. One more life experience accomplished, getting drunk in the afternoon: tick [x].

Exams are OVER. Hell YEAH!

Hi all!

1st paper on Physiology was on Tuesday and i think it went well, guessed a few but hoping for the best. The whole paper comprised of 78 mcqs and we were given 2 hours + 15 minutes of reading time to complete it. (Haha, i love mcqs, all my 3 papers this term are all mcqs qns only ^^) Honestly, i could have finished the paper in 45 minutes, and many of my classmates felt the same too, some even leaving the exam hall half an hour after it started. Perhaps this is reflective of the aussie way of life, where everything is plentiful; plentiful space, plentiful time to go about life leisurely, even plentiful time to complete an exam. Not sure if i prefer having lots of time in an exam, because it is really unsettling to have people leaving the hall all around me and getting the feeling that i am not doing justice to the time given, despite having completed the exam and checked + having lots of time for self-doubt.

Just completed my Hlth Sci assignment (actually not really, i still have to write out all my references properly and to cut down 138 more words) which is due tmr 4pm. It was quite an interesting assignment as I had to interview a doctor, find out what are some of the issues in the profession and compare it to what the literature says, I interviewed Rhea's dad a haematologist. Though having it due in-between 2 of my exams made me go a bit crazy.

Chem paper on Friday, 3 hours 69 mcqs and 69%, every question will be 1% of my grade, yikes! Bio is my final paper and is next Wednesday, freedom beckons thereafter!

Omg so sleepy! 2.55am now, gonna go to sleep! Bye!

OH! Before i forget, had the most awesome experience last monday, during the aus vs germany match. Went to Rundle Mall with Rhea and Lucy at 3am to catch it on the big screen there, it was 3 degrees and absolutely freezing but oh so fun! Aus was dissapointing, losing 4-0, and the aussies just started walking away from the game when we were 3 points down. Loved the cheering though,

Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi!

Pictures up soon, bfn! :)
