Don't be so jealous, they're usually trippy (ahem this year)  ;) ;)
I have that red lump of skin that came back on my fourth finger from writing for just under three hours, so yeah it's definitely a welcome break from that :)
But what on earth could they even ask you for multiple choice? :o  "When did WWII begin?"
I don't care what you say, I'm so jealous we don't get the same treatment down here.

Basically they give you a picture or something and they ask some super vague question. It's pretty sad.

On the other hand, my random thought of the day is that I've spent two years doing a course that is likely not going to count to my ATAR. This is sad for the amount of stress I've had and all the late nights dying inside :'( Regardless I'm glad it's all over

Trust me that your ATAR isn't the most important thing you get from highschool

Glad that you're getting some relief now - not long to go before all the year's assessment is over:)

I'm in Chirnside Park rn. This part of Melbourne is so much nicer than the concrete jungle that is the western suburbs. So many trees and hills.

So, my piano teacher was suggesting for my CMus repertoire that I open with my Prokofiev piece.

Music fam, thoughts? LOL.

Ooh which Prokofiev piece? I don't remember which piece my sister opened with when she did her CMus but she did perform Montagues and Capulets.

To all you future doctors and surgeons.

Please make sure you never forget that each and every patient you have has their own family and own unique life and story they have lived. Please don’t let your ego and reputation get in the way of a life, if you have stuffed up admit it and don’t keep saying everything is alright when it is not, please don’t tell the patient you can’t deal with how distressed their spouse is, please don’t threaten the patient when they start considering another surgeon or ask for a second opinion on something and most importantly take your time, it is better to be slow, patient and wait and have the patient in for a month then rush it all and trying to get the patient out in a week with a million complications.

Thanks. 😊

I just got invited to a primary school reunion. I'm not sure how to feel about that.

To go or not to go 🤔

Thanks Owlbird.... I had a disgusting/freaky-'real' nightmare where I was being brutally murdered and I couldn't get back to sleep so I got up and did homework to distract me! I did get back to sleep at 4am! :-\

One of my classmates is a lovely middle-aged lady and we both have a kind lecturer, who gave us an extra hour of consultation with him.

During the consultation however she commented on the portrait of Beethoven in his office and was like why not Chopin. But she didn't pronounce it "sho-pan", and then my lecturer was like "that's the thing that women do"...

(Most unexpected joke ever)

For the confused, "sho-pin" -> shopping
