I'm done!
The HPO chem exam was the easiest exam I have ever done. It was 25 multiple choice questions, based off 5 lectures, and I had an hour and a half lol. And there was a heap of overlap from biology stuff about amino acids/proteins and rational drug design. Way easier than core.
I get my results in a couple of weeks - at least the course results, I could get my exam marks before that. I think it's probably more likely that I'll fail chem than pass it. Felt weird doing the hpo exam not knowing if it would even matter. Really hope I don't fail it for a lot of reasons, but oh well, I guess I'll find out soon.
My application for late withdrawal from emsc and scom got approved! Only took them 5 weeks. But also, yay.
Don't really know what I'm going to do these holidays, hopefully get a job, but I don't know what else. Kind of want to visit Melbourne, but also kind of don't. Guess I could go up to sydney for a bit, it's a lot closer and inferior Might go camping for a bit (I hope), but also it's winter so maybe not, just got to actually do something so they don't just disappear like last holidays haha.
^There's $5 pizza right near home, it's gonna be the death of me lol.

Today's cooking tip from PF: Don't accidentally (or deliberately) buy soft tofu when you actually want firm tofu :'(
I think I'm gonna pass chem! Haven't got my grades yet but i got my exam mark and unless my math sucks i somehow passed?!
I got a job - applied for it the day after my last post here, and started the day after that lol. It's full-time, but temporary and rather boring (but the $$$ makes up for it).
The lack of sunlight that comes from being inside from 9-5 every day isn't very pleasant though. I should really go for a walk about now, or do anything that isn't going from sitting at a desk all day to lying in bed, but it's cold and dark and the temptation to watch netflix instead is strong. It also makes me want to spend all weekend outside, which is great, but also means I don't have a lot of time for anything else which is frustrating.
It's super weird to me how incredibly relaxed this work is. Like...are there people who do this their whole lives??? There's only one other person who's always in the store and she was complaining it was busy when we'd had 3 customers all morning? And not even at the same time? That's not her only job, but she spends heaps of time on her phone and applying for a new job (lol) and still thinks that it counts as busy. Compared to woolies where we were working constantly and barely had a spare second to have a drink, and I'm getting paid way more now. It's so strange, society is weird.
You know when new year 7s start at high school and they're little babies and somehow over the course of the year most of them grow up a lot? The last 6 months or so has felt a bit like that to me. It's strange, feels like I don't really recognise myself at times, but it's more of a good thing than a bad thing :)
Edit: Chem HPO marks just got released. Got 20/35 which is about what I was expecting, although hoped for a little higher. Way above average though apparently lol.

I got a credit for both chem and bio! So that’s cool. Honestly have no idea how that happened for chem. Bio makes me a bit sad but I also didn’t submit a bunch of my assignments so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I got 0.95/100 for scicom which is a new record 😂

Was actually 20/25. Which makes sense given the entire exam was just 25 multiple choice questions 😂 they just entered it wrong.

Awesome work!

Classes start again tomorrow. Although I don't have any compulsory classes the first week, just lectures.
I really need to get a part time job lol - not just for the money, but also because otherwise I'm going to have way too much spare time and i'm going to end up spending too much of it staring at a wall or something.
Things are super frustrating at the moment - I keep alternating between not caring about anything and being totally fine with lying in bed listening to sad music all day, and caring about everything way too much and hating that there's not much I can do/am doing about it. Very annoying. but I prefer this to never caring about anything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Just means that I have to actually study when I care enough to want to pass uni.
I really need to socialise more. I was way better at it earlier in the year, and then I stopped talking to anyone for a couple of weeks and skipped all my classes and that really didn't help lol. Should be a bit easier this semester though, given I only have two compulsory classes. First priority is actually getting a job (which unfortunately involves answering the phone when people call me...) then hopefully going to organise some volunteering stuff around that. I think I'm gonna be better off organising stuff that I can't easily cancel. Also it bothers me to catch up with people over coffee when the coffee at Fenner is cheaper (and frequently nicer, depending on who makes it) haha
Also still need to reply to the email from the canberra dog shelter (they finally replied to my email after a month, but that was two months ago and i haven't replied to theirs. oops. bit hard when i don't really know what days i'm available yet though). But would be awesome to see some doggos again. I really miss my pets. One of my SR's did offer to hide my fish in her room during room inspections if I got one though....
We haven't had a fire alarm at Fenner all holidays (longest time without one all year), but we had one a couple of days ago which was very amusing because it was just after the semester 2 move in date, and it felt like fenner was welcoming us all home lol (also I did love the opportunity to make yet another shitty meme).
