>Why hello there. Saturday, September 1, 2012 @ 1:19 AM
Well, hey. It been since May this time haha. Well, life's been the same I guess, give or take a few things. There were the emotional times, and I've started my HSC, seeing as I'm one of the language students. I've also finished my artwork, which has cause me a great deal of trouble over the last year. It's now finished and I feel very relieved, even if I can't do anything more to it.
My emotional times... well... It may partially be because of my artwork being due, but thanks to a 'friend' I ended up crying in the middle of class. And everyone noticed. Yay. Well, it's okay I guess, he was trying to help. Well, one made me cry, and the other helped me differently. I'm glad to be friends with these people though, they're so nice to me :) Though I do hate that I cried in front of people. Blah.
So, I've done two speaking exams thus far. One for Japanese Continuers, and one for Japanese Extension. The continuers' exam was a 10min conversation type thing. They ask you questions, you answer. While it was 10mins and was short, if was nerve wracking. At least this time around I'd gone to practice with miss because it helped. Thanks to that, I didn't miserably fail. In fact, I think I did decently good, if that makes sense. Afterwards, most of the class stayed back as a group waiting for the last person before going home. Then, once that person was out, we all went, some going shopping, and the others going home. I went with Amber shopping, cause it was a rare occasion in which I was out. So we went to to Parra, with 3 others, and got some food before going around. We ended up meeting Hussein, and his friend and then headed off to Typo and Smiggle. After, all 5 left, and so I just went around with Amber. We just went around, me being made to try clothes and checked out stuff before it got late, in which we then headed home.
The next exam I did was Japanese Extension, which you had to do a 2-3min monologue. And it's not easy. Actually, I think I may have done really badly in that one. Because that day had some Open days, all 4 ext. students went up to the city :D One went by car and the rest of us caught the train. I got off first though, and met up with my sister who at that point was lost. It took quite a while but by using a nearby building as the mark, me found each other and then set of to USYD. As always the campus amazes me, I mean, it's so big and beautiful! (that's what she said LOL). We proceeded to the quad, and looked around, getting our free lunch and then heading off to UTS a little while later. So, UTS. Ah, my favorite uni of all. Why? I don't know. I love the campus size of USYD, but UTS is just more modern? And that's my thing, I prefer modern things. That, and it's a technology university. Or maybe I just love the atmosphere there. My sister and I checked out the campus first, having a walk around to explore. We then ended up in the IT & Engineering building, my fav. place in the uni :D We watched a presentation first, and then went out to get some of the cotton candy they were giving for free. We explored a bit more, and then went to Notre Dame. This place was smaller, and I had no plans of going here. Ever. We just wanted to check it out. Well, it was only a short walk around, in which we got ice cream :D They even had a free photo booth, which was epic :O Cause we don't take pictures of ourselves generally, we just took some then. There was nothing left after that so we went back to the IT building at UTS :D There I had to work up to the courage to talk to someone, because as most of my close friends know, I'm not good with new people. The person I happened to talked to was one of my leaders, Rebecca from back when I went to the UTS Hands On Day earlier this year. She remembered me, and we talked about the course I wanted to do, because she was doing that course. Of course, she was encouraging me to go for it as well, and even called one of the guys who do the interviews to talk to me a bit :D Talking to them really made me want to do that course even more, and it made me glad that I came up to them :) When we finished talking, we decided to leave because it would be time to go soon. So first we went back to USYD so we could get to the station from there. We ended up on the wrong train though, and it took us like this: Redfern -> Parra -> Guildford -> Cabra -> Cheso. Why? Because there were no straight stops so we had to change trains a lot -.- We then ended home 2hrs later than expected...
My artwork was finished just the other day. Phew. I feel a more relieved now that I don't have that large major work looming over my head. I don't really like my work, and I'm scared it won't do well. Though, it's not a typical artwork in the medium I used so hopefully it'll be okay :) While I don't like it, some people think it's good so it helps me feel a bit more relieved.
Otherwise, there were a lot of things as well, but nothing very big that I feel like talking about. Tomorrow I'm going to UNSW with David and possible Raymond, and I have to get up early so I assume it'd be wise to sleep now. Well, now that my school laptop is unlocked, I hope I can post more. Maybe.
Well, bye bye!
