The hoop is on fire.
Thursday morning, 29th of July, entrance exam and interview done with.
I’ve been dreadfully sick since the exams up to yesterday night. Talk about luck. Feeling a little better now, but the sore throat is still bad, to the point that I don’t even have a voice right now. I’ve mostly been communicating with hand gestures.
No, I meant reverse the car! REVERSE the car! OH GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE.
So yes, I was sick during my exams. And the interview. And was still sick on Wednesday, which meant I had to bail out on a trip to Genting with my batchmates, and dinner with Aida. Hmph.
The exams were actually pretty tough. As far as I could tell the questions were divided into three types:
(a) Stuff that we may have learned during our course. (These made up the least of the questions.)
(b) Stuff that we may have learned during SPM. (And which we, in all likelihood, have forgotten almost completely.)
(c) Stuff we’ve never even heard about before. (Ooooh boy.)
Despite all that, we only need to pass. So if you add in the stuff we already knew, and the educated guesses, and the not-very-educated guesses, I think 20/40 is a safe target. As long as we don’t get an F it’s fine.
We all passed for the interview without even trying. It’s more of a formality than anything because technically, we’re already accepted. The interviewer I got went and lectured to me about proper Facebook usage for some reason before he let me go. I said maybe ten words at most while it lasted.
I want to write a little about the camp I had last week, too. Trouble is I don’t remember much about what I wanted to say about it anymore thanks to the fever. It really was that bad.
One thing I won’t forget was on the last day of the camp, right before the camp’s exam (I’m getting sick of that word), when all 125 members of the camp gathered around and sang me happy birthday. It was so awesome okay! Nobody even prompted it or anything. It just went and happened. It’s kept me in a good mood until now.
Checklist for holidays :
- Workout, will probably just come up with a jogging route and try to stick to it every day.
- Learn more stuff to cook. Not strictly appetizing stuff, just typical student food that will serve it’s purpose.
- Get lots of clothes. Bangalore is cold, so I’ll have to focus on stuff like jackets and sweaters.
- Go on a reading/movie-watching spree. No time like the present. ;-)
So, I just finished pre-med yesterday morning.
Woooooooo-hooooo!
Well, technically I still have two weeks to go before I can really consider myself free; I’ve got a camp from Monday to Friday next week for overseas scholars, and then the week after that, I’ve got the entrance exam for India. I still haven’t packed my stuff in the hostel for that matter, I’ll be hanging around there for another few days (the last days I’ll spend there) when the entrance exams roll around.
Then I really will be free, and for two months, and with a huge pile of stored-up allowance money. Whatever the case it’s been nice to finally lay off studying without feeling guilty.
Hmm, I’ll have to buy clothes early tomorrow for camp. Short-sleeved white shirts and dark pants during the lectures. I meant to go get them this morning but I slept late the night before, so I was too tired.
What kind of camp has lectures, anyway? And a written exam?
Also if I don’t pass the camp’s written exam, I’m barred from flying overseas to study. Nice.
Moving on, the reason I slept late yesterday was because I went to two parties that night! First Kavee’s surprise party and then to Tim’s/Sanoj’s. Sean drove his Myvi with Vivian, Kar Yann, and I tagging along.
Had a nice time at both. I liked when we were in the car and we talked about how none of us haven’t been in a relationship for a while (or, in fact, ever) and summarily concluded we were all losers. xD
I’d like to write more but I’m kinda tired right now. I’m going to shut off the comp and grab a minimum 10+ hours of guilt-free sleep. Must enjoy this while I can.
