WEEKEND Q+A #8: INSANIPI

[sweetiepi]

Best thing about Sydney?
Worst thing about Melbourne?
Favourite film adaptation of a book?
Favourite part of your degree?

1. The trains. I'm so jealous that y'all have DOUBLE STOREY trains.
2. The trains. I'm sure you would have expected that though!
3. That's a toughie! Let's go for Matilda (as in the Roald Dahl book). The movie adaption was great!
4. It's a tie between playing around with legitimate drugs in lab, and the small community feel I experience on campus!

Thanks for asking!

What's the worst thing metro trains has done to you?

Hey hey PF!
It left me stuck at a station with no way home for three hours, the night before a mid-semester test. The kicker is: I even finished my class 50 mins early that day.
Thanks for asking!

Hi! I've got a few questions here

- Favourite city/country you've travelled to and why?
- What hobbies do you do if you've got spare time?
- The most fun science experiment you've ever done?

 

Hi there!
1. Favourite city: Mildura, Vic. Have many memories of my grandparents from when I was little there!
2. I play bass guitar and compile playlists on my iTunes in my spare time, as well as read!
3. Most fun: using the automatic HPLC machine on campus to analyse caffeine content in a few drinks. It was great fun using it for some unknown reason!
Thanks for the questions!

Favourite type of ice cream?

What's been the most significant adversity for you in uni?

If you could relive one of your previous years, start to finish, what one would it be and why?

Hey there BD!
1. Choc-mint! The coolness of the 'mint' and the chocolate just is a match made in heaven!
2. That's a tough question! I guess coming into the degree, I knew noone who was going to be there, doing the same degree. It was daunting af at first, but thankfully got over the initial nervousness by meeting people during oweek/class/during my breaks!
3. Tbh I'd relive the past year, it's just been amazing af tbh, a lot of exciting things have happened and I've probably love to relive it

Thanks for the qs!

Why do you never use emoticons in your posts?

Don't you mean always?

No clue to be honest, I've been told I smile a lot irl so I guess it's related!

Hey hey! I'm doing okay! Thanks for asking!
1. Pen- my maths teacher in year 12 who said using pencil leads to more mistakes haha :')
2. That's tough! I'm always learning something new- probably covers it!
3. Specsavers aha- just what my parents put me on in year 7 :')

Thanks for asking!

Why did you choose to study pharmaceutical science?

I missed this one, apologies!
My school had the Pharmacy/Pharmsci incursion and I instantly fell in love! I've also been interested in medicines since I was little due to mum being sick when I was little! She's had breast cancer twice- once when I was 8 months old, and again in 2009.

Thanks for asking!

[sweetiepi]

It's nearly 8 and I'm starting to head home for the night, however I'll be leaving this AMA open for the next day or so for anyone else who wants to ask a question!

What would be your #1 international travel destination?

What would be your #1 international travel destination?

Honestly if I *had* to pick one, it would be Serbia, were my maternal grandma grew up! I've heard such interesting things about that place!

Hey insanipi! When you were in year 12, what did you think your future was going to look like? How has that changed now?

Hey there Strawberries, thanks aha!
1. Various reasons, I guess! Some might say it's because of my 138 or so books on my to-read list, others could say that I get involved in too many things!

2. Raspberries! No real reason why, I just love them! 😄

Thanks for asking!

Hey insanipi! When you were in year 12, what did you think your future was going to look like? How has that changed now?

Hi there!
In year 12, I had no real idea what the future was going to look like! I mean I knew where I wanted to be headed study-wise, but I've always just took each day as it came- as if the wind could take me anywhere it pleased!
At looking at my future now, I still don't think about it too much (maybe I should but oh well!), although I'm having to start considering a lot of things that lead out into the future- including choosing future placements for uni and what that could lead to;  whether I'll eventually move from home; as well as maintaining my health- especially as my mum and I aren't too sure if I have the same genetic defect yet (there's a strong family history of cancer- wouldn't be surprised if I do have the defect, haha )
Hopefully that sort-of answers that question!

Thanks for the question!
