THis will probably be the longest holiday we'll ever get, but tbh im bored already. I want life to start and by life i mean uni! i want things to do and people to meet. THis is the awkward stage where we arent classified as high school students OR uni students, we're NOTHING :O (excuse my momentary existential way of thinking). Even though i havent actually been in Australia for that long, everyone else is busy which means nothing to do aiyahhhh. Saying all this i bet by the time im in uni i'll long for such lengthy holidays, guess the grass always looks greener on the other side.
So i went to goodlife gym today and met a nice 50 year old woman. A and I were both pretty noob and didn't know how to use the various contraptions. SO she helped with bicep, tricep, back, core exercises for at least an hour, and now my arms feel like tofu. YOu really do feel great after exercising, releasing those endorphins (8 She had such a good body for her age holy shiieetttt no post child sagging to be seen perfect hourglass figure, okay it felt weird to be checking out 50 year old women at the gym LOL. BUt seriously goes to show how a healthy life style no matter what age will pay off (Y). Afterwards she lectured at us and the whole youth population for eating too much junk food, and how i should eat less rice and how we were bad for not paying attention during health class in high school LOOOOL
My neck got sunburnt today... i dont even know how the gym was indoors... i think i walked outside in the sun for a total of 15 minutes... Is it good to put ice on it? i dont even know.
Now that we dont have school i realise just how pricy it is to go out, i forgot my concession card today so the train ticket to parra cost $5.80. In taiwan/china/hk the metro costs like what 50c australian to wherever you want to go. THen you have to buy lunch and sometimes dinner, for decent food thats $30 or $40 for each outing. I didnt feel it as much during school holidays because i didnt go out much, but now..... #experiencingfinancialdifficulties.
Soooo last day for uac preferences, you know i really appreciate our system, as in the WHOLE BOS system from the hsc to university applications. Even if you get a lower than expected atar you have more than 2 weeks to change your preferences according to your atar, ensuring most people are able to get into uni, how fair of a system is that! also i bitched about how my ranks in high school dragged me down, but you know fair enough because my external marks pulled me up. FOr those who worked harder during the year they were saved by their ranks, it really is a fair system. I've realised this while i was in china, you know they put down a maximum of ONE preference prior to their HSC (gao kao), and if you miss out, bad luck you dont get in. Thats why my cousin who's actually really smart put an inferior course as her preference JUST in case she didnt do so well in the gao kao, in the end she did do well enough to get into the better course, but she didn't want to risk putting it down. How stupid is that, you're just depleting your national of the real intelligent people. So instead of china acquiring her intellect shes off in Germany working in a high end job for BMW. ALso do you guys know how many subjects we offer in our HSC course? yeah i wouldnt either, in china you MUST do chinese and maths and chem/physics or history/geography. What if you're not good at maths? bad luck. My second cousin who's a great singer and musician but not great at maths failed her gao kao, now shes studying a masters in Germany.... In conclusion, i sure as hell am grateful to be living in Australia, and in conclusion #2 it's really strange how different countries can function sooooo differently, in conclusion #3 communism is great in theory but not in practicality (modern history students will know what i mean :))
But back to the main point im still indecisive whether i should go economics at usyd or at unsw LOL i think i'll flip a coin at midnight :) pretty much now comes the great wait until mid january.
