UNSW: the university of its-so-fcuking-far-away-i-can-not-comprehend-the-distance.

 
Central Lecture Block (CLB) + HBD Bradley for yesterday. Here is my dedication rofl

Note: post not dial up friendly. infested with pictures of seftoners pretending to be gangstered version of James Ruse (not really)

Today was A Day @ UNSW and it was like so fucking hectic like omfg.

jokes.

UNSW was .. not as exciting as I would have thought it to be. Marketing was cool apparently, but I went to the more crappy and academic lectures that weren’t all that. Cheers to me going to the open day in september but its a week before exams so like wtf gg -__-

waiting for the busssss

 
Have you heard of our epic journey from UNSW to home via a very crappy and confusing bus service? well long story short, we got lost , kind of,  like totally mind fucking lost also rather than geographically as we tried to comprehend our location while we stumbled around the actual CBD all the way to Martin Place station becuase we didn’t know where to get off on our bus and totally passed Town Hall . An Epic Journey from UNSW to Circular Quay to Martin Place to Central then to home. We got lost for an hours, did more exercise just trying to find Macdonald’s in the morning and then trying to find the bus station in the afternoon, than I would have done in one single PE lesson of my life. The size of UNSW was rather unexpected, although they go that USYD is alot bigger and alot nicer which is somehow a lot scarier also. It took up an entire block and there are so many random buildings. Went exploring to find the library, the deli, the snack shops, the green lawn, tried to find my god brother who was god knows where (teachess statistics = business faculty?).

infamous SPHEREE (kind of)

CLOCK TOWER. If the sun dial didnt work, the place would not be called UNSW it would be the pirated version of UNSW instead.

They have authorised Apple dealer there. zomg

 I woke up at 6:30 in the morning to get to central at a crazy and insane time of about 7:45 to wait fro crystal to go maccas, BUT HER TRAIN GOT DELAYED AND SHE GOT HERE AROUNF 8:20 ruining our maccas plans *sadface* and well then we met up with amanda, sarah, aimee, helen, nathan, tina, jeannie and i dont remember the others and caught the bus to UNSW. Now the trip from central to UNSW was easy. The trip back was a little but more fucked up as I said earlier. First we walked down High St, which was unimaginably long follwoing Thy and Susan to the bus stop until we found out all they were doing was walking down a random road to nowhere. Stood at the stop for 5 minutes before deciding to walk to the bus stop at Anzac Parade, however the stop that was on the other side of the NIDA bus stop, where the bus totally ignored as and kept moving Forcing us to resort to catching a bus to Town Hall, and from there getting lost on the bus becuase we had no idea where to get off. Epic Journeys call for even more epic lostness.

Medicine seems rather interesting now, maybe a tiny bit more than before but its still very very hard. The ATAR score and the UMAT and the interview just to get in? I’ll fail at the ATAR right on the spot. And its about 11-12 years of almost unpaid study before becoming a paid doctor with dreadful hours and horrible horrible pay even then. I’m guessing I would have to feed of my parents retirement money to get through the next 12 years, which is not so appealing after a while.

feel the love of medicine.

Then I had the careers seminar, then the Science 2: Material Science and Engineering lecture. while we waited for the bus that would become the epic adventure that was after the UNSW lecture, we threw a manderine in the middle of road hoping someone would run over it. 10 minutes later it remains untouched, and then stephen, being the aweosome hero, ran into the middle of the road and kicked the manderine a little bit over. Next thing you know THE MANDERINE BLASTED IN YOUR MOTHERFCUKING FACE AND WENT KABOOM LIKE THE ATOMIC BOMB AND ITS GUT SQUIRT EVERYWHEREEEE.

R.I.P Manderine

I’m rather leaning towards doing a bachelor of psychology instead of going through medicine then trying to specialise in psychology; gathering that the little quiz we did during the second seminar made me out to be more of a humanitarian-subject type person then anything else. It would probably screw me over to try and do medicine when I completely fail all my sciences. There was a student ambassador who is doing a Bachelor of arts in Psychology and History and it looked rather interesting but I wouldn’t be too sure about the job offers that a degree such as that would allow for. I still want to do psychology or some sort of social science that enables me to help people; social worker, counsellor, volunteer worker etc. What should I do? becuase I suck at probably every subject in existence. In the quiz, the constant point that would pop up was “Do you like, or are you good at; geography; english; maths; science; chemistry; biology; physics; history” and the only one I picked was history, which is really sad actually since it only makes up about 2 units of my subjects which means I’m more than likely kill my HSC before I have even done it, seeing as I decided to be the asian and do 2 sciences and 3 unit maths and then just 1 humanitarian. Completely and awesomely asian which was pretty much a theme today when we went around to listen to stuff. The guy kept asking “so any more questions about material science and engineering?” -”No, don’t think so, we too asian for this”  though he didn’t hear it cause it would be too mean.

eating lunchhhh, wasnt that nice o_o

more lunch

 

Now I’m going to wait for the open day they are having on the 9th of September and any other university open days because I want to start knowing how to apply for things and what I think I need to do. I guess I’m determined to make my self better and thinking more about this becuase I realise that I think im practically bored and tired of school at the moment, I don’t really feel liek going anymore, to tutor, to school or maths. Who knows, I hope the open day gives alot more info on the other subjects, I want to go the Open day for other universities as well though, becuase UNSW is so hard to get into and so exclusive and fucking prestigious, its totally out of my range. Almost like the Harvard of NSW, kind of, except not that prestigious or that grand either.

Took lots of photos today I’ll post it when I get back from dinner here they are all throughout the post

Found Vegemite toast in the car at 9:00 in the morning
