hello peeepzZzz, its been a long time since i blog a decent post!
exams are finally over, there should be nothing else to worry for the whole year lol.
so before exams, it's always a stresssful situiation. so many things to study, so little time, so little brain capacity and so many distractions. it all started when i got all my assingments back. they were a bit less than OK, just pass. but they all had similar comments:
1) immunology essay: good research but scientific writing needs improvement. read out oud to assist with grammas + editing
2)journal appraisal: general sturctures ok, but many grammatical and spelling errors
3) farm report: gramma and spelling need improvement
i was like DAAAAAMN!! gramma and spelling errors?? what was microsoft WORDS doing??? dun they check everything for you! they need some serious techinical upgrade man!!!
oh well, i was too lazy to prove read them anyway. so lesson learnt:
"always prove read your assingments, and dun ever depend on microsoft words to check gramma and spelling error for you."
to think that was stressful enough? i'm so naive, the real stress come in preparing for the exams. and the first exam i had was my farm practical exam, about handling cattles, sheeps, pigs and horses. i started my first session with cattles, we were suppose to bleed, tie some knots and check a little bit of this and that. it all went alright, i was so stress about not getting blood at first, but the moment i jaaaaaab the neddle into the neck right, there was blood dripping out the neddle!!!! so i quickly jab in the vacumtainer and blood was gushing into the tube like waterfall.... i've never been so grateful and thankful to see blood b4!! we were also asked to check the cow's lactating status (meaning whether does she has milk or not), i was pretty sure when i squeeze her front two teats, she was dry (meaning no milk) coz there weren't any milk to squeeze out. but after i checked, the examiner went on and squeeze the back two teats, and there was jut milk spraying all over the fall..... at that moment i was like "oh wat the fuc....." i nearly cursed!!
horses and pigs went pretty well, but the last session - sheeps, was HORRIBLE!! we were waiting outside the shed for the group before us to finish the exam, and instantly we already saw 4 of our classmate in that group failed..... ofcoz we were all getting tensed about it, the main reason they failed is becoz they couldn't get blood sample from sheeps..... it was the stresssful-est moment to see ppl getting fail by the examiner, it's like u walk in and you are gonna FAIL too!! but oh well i DID NOT fail, coz i manage to get bloood. it was shear luck!!! i jab in once, and the blood just came out, filled the tube 1/5 and that was it!! no more blood! i try moving the neddle in and out a bit, and there wasn't any blood filling the tube anymore!! (usually it works when u do that). LUCKILY, the examiner said that was enough, and WOHOOOOOOO i passed!!
(ps: those that did not, took a sup prac one week later and they all pass!!)
the day after the prac, we had the theory paper. nothing to say, i got OWNED......
then had about one week to study b4 my next two paper, which is on monday and tuesday. i don't like exams that are back to back: doing one paper in one day is demoralising enough and it usually takes about 1-2 days to remolarise myself. when u have two papers for two days in a role, it is more demoralising. and brillantly, i got the day mixed up......... i thought monday's paper is going to be on tuesday and vice versa! luckily i found out like 2 days ago, if not i'm going to be so dead concentrating on the wrong subject!!!
monday papers was crap, but it was bit REmoralising coz i THINK everyone wasn't happy as well. they were all complaining like me, so its like doing bad and not feeling so bad, coz everyone feels the same for that paper. then got home, study a bit, slack a bit, till 2am, went to bed and woke up 5am the next morning......
then study a bit more and took the tuesday paper in the morning. that paper was alright, coz i dun care anymore, the only thing i was thinking is to get this exam done and i'm free.
indeed, now i am freeeeeeeeeeeeeee....... but feeling a bit bored. its the emptyness in you when u have nothingto study for all of a sudden, after weeeks of eat sleep study period.
oh well, another few more days till i go for my farm prac. two weeeeeks this time. am looking towards it, coz after that i can fly home~~~~~~~~ to kiss all you peeeepzZzz lol
