Chinese New Year

Sometimes i think the superstitions involving chinese new year are extremely paranoid... I should have cut my hair this week. Cause now i dont know when i can cut it. I find it a bit much that you cant cut your hair because the word hair in chinese sounds like prosperity and hence cutting your hair is like removing all the prosperity for the new year. And it also sucks how i can't buy and books for a while. Does anyone know when i can actually do this stuff again? Its not long right?

L for Loser which also happens to be the first letter of someone's name who still hasnt got their Ls

After all that annoying pressure and nagging i finally got my Ls. Now i can be on the other side and mock people who dont have their Ls (like Land). Yes, Land still does not have her Ls. I cant wait for uni so i can start studying again. And i'm going to study even more than the HSC. I still can't find another person doing the UMAT. How i loathe the UMAT. And i dont think having done the UMAT once will give me any advantage besides knowing that the test time given is only an approximation with the test able to start 3 hours later. Should i do AMEPP or Medentry? I'm thinking maybe AMEPP cause they say that they will provide more than 1100 questions and solutions. But 1100, do they really have that many? I still haven't got an Oweek brochure from UNSW yet but i do have a Usyd one. I kinda regret withdrawing from pharmacy now. I should have done a bridging course. I can't find anything good to read. I want to go to Chinese school. I still dont understand why they teach in Chinese at Chinese school. It doesnt really help people like me who cant comprehend much except for what i learnt in kindergarten and year 1 which consists of animals and parts of the body. I can't construct a sentence. I'm going to do peer support (to be the supported not the supportee).

UNSW

I'm a unsw person now.
Usyd is dead to me.
I reject pharmacy and all it represents.
I have finally decided. I'm a b. science person now. I get weird looks when I tell people that. I'm so jealous of the optom people. They are so cool. I can't seem to write a coherent or consistent blog. My thoughts are everywhere, and I don't even have that many. I thought timetabling would be fun. But it's not. I think i've spent like 6 hours on timetabling collectively now. And how excited am i to have 23 hour weeks. I get to spend every day at UNSW. And oh how I will love Wednesdays where I get to spend 7 hours straight with lectures and a lab. I think i need to snack in class on wednesdays. What's a suitable lecture snack? Something soft and dull so it wont attract attention. I havent unenrolled at Usyd yet. I still have a Usyd ID card. I guess i'm special enough to get both Usyd and UNSW cards. It will be a memento of the path i could have chosen: the evil lure of pharmacy with its stability and excellent job prospects poisioning the minds of countless asian children and confusing their course choices. And at Dorothy's birthday party i found out i weigh less than carolyn. If she's like 50 kg, i must be in the 40s. I'm so light. And whats even more surprising is that i've gained weight during the HSC year. So i wonder how much i weighed before that. I miss my pre HSC weight. I hope i lose weight from walking that stupid long entrance way at UNSW.
I'm so ready to start studying. I want to start studying now. I should probably start studying for UMAT. I need a haircut too. And take down the Christmas tree.
