Blood Tests

"HIV?"

Had the blood test yesterday, but I forgot to ask them to include my blood type in the results :<

I get the results on Friday and I'm not sure when I can remove this little bandaid on my left arm.

Also, I'm not sure if they'll let me know about my HIV status - something I probably should have asked too.

Mostly because I need to let the faculty know if I have that.

Further, I dunno which hospital to pick - there's St. Vincent, St. George, Price of Wales and Liverpool.

:<

They all seem kinda hard to get to.

Met a nice lady - 31 and she's in the robotics business.

Apparently, "designing an AI that thinks about butts all day so it can help fit women's jeans"

I was pretty skeptical too.

But apparently it's true, and I think it's pretty cool, even after a few "butt bot" jokes.

Who knew someone would actually design that?

Only problem is that she doesn't have any startup funding at the moment, which is lame.

I think it'll be cool to be in the workplace in the next decade - think of all the people you'll meet!

Hoping you guys are having a grand old time.

Checklists

"Urghhh"

:L

Checklistsssss - so much stuff to get done.

And I have a month to do it D:

And and, there's a paragraph which says I probably need to prove that I'm HIV-negative. But then I called, and the lady said I didn't need to do it, probably.

And I need to register at some Agency.

Sigh so much stuff...

On the flipside, I'm closer to actually starting uni.

And textbooks. Should I get second hand or new?

Hoping you guys are less busy I suppose.

New Year

"Happy Chinese New Year"

Or - New Year's Coming Soon [pinyin]

And, it was kinda fun, a bit of a long journey.

Better start advertising myself as a tutor though.

And, on the car trip we see a guy fully decked out in long sleeve and jacket and beard.

In 35+ degree heat.

Brother: He's like a rock star. They're always wearing a leather jacket.That's why everyone thinks they're hot.

And I got $10 from my cousins. But that's not the point.

Hoping you guys are having a great time and such.

Mornings

"41 degrees"

I think I'm visiting my cousins for new year. I haven't really seen them in a while, but it still feels kinda neutral.

I mean, I like them, but they're not all that close, I suppose.

Is that bad?

As for uni hopping, I might like UNSW better later, but for the moment it's still blech.

I still haven't eaten breakfast, but that's not so bad.

There's a level of anxiety which won't go away and I'm not sure why. It's pretty irritating.

Maybe it's cause I'm bored.

Sigh.

Hoping it goes away.

A return to updating.

"So here's what's been happening"

Been watching some of 820's first person commentary, but I don't think it's very interesting for the most of you.

I followed a blog by a PhD student recently, and it's pretty interesting with way too much stuff to read all at once. I suppose it's like bookmarking it but not really.

As for what I've been doing:

1) Preparing to study as a Physician.

2) Gaming (obviously)

3) Building a new computer

4) Trying to get money to finish 3)

5) Which means that I'll need to get my timetable first before I plan anything. I don't want clashes :L

Unfortunately, parents feel that I'm not doing enough to get a job - which I'm not, but clashes are ugly and I'd rather avoid it.

And lately I've been a bit irritable because...

I dunno. I feel irritable. Probably too hot. And a bit frustrated at home, which is ironic because I can't really get a job or such without having my timetable.

Sigh.

Catch 22 anyone.

Looking forward to the program, but not really caring much about the uni, the other people in my course (except if there's teamwork, which there probably will be - I hope the other people in my course aren't lazy or arrogant or...y'now. Obnoxious. But that's what interviews were for....right?)

I don't think I have much else to comment on besides how 820's a smoker [I think that's what he said] and then he goes on to say that "When you're my age, 23, 24, you realise the most important thing is your health."

It's all in mandarin, but it just sounds like a lot of my family. Is it an asian thing?

I don't want to write the pinyin, but if you know mandarin, you know the phrase "the most important thing is your health"

[btw, Dota/Dota 2 players should know who 820 is. He's pretty cool. I like his voice.]

I like the facial expression on the thumbnail.

Anyway, have a look at that - it's not mandarin, and it's hosted by Penn and Teller. If you don't know who they are, I hope you're willing to take a look on youtube at their magic [they're magicians].

Hoping you guys are having a great time

I think I'm addicted to "hoping for a new day"

[Coming soon~]

(Ie; too lazy/tired to post properly)

Dreams, Jealousy, New Foliage

"ATARs released 20th Dec"

It's nice and all to have HSC results, but where is the ATAR D:

I hope you guys did pretty well, I think I did pretty well until my parents decided they needed to have a look and shoot me down for it.

I don't care - I'm moving out ASAP.

I might change my mind after getting 2 jobs, but at this moment, I really just want  to not live here anymore.

It might be fine for someone else, but I guess my needs are different.

I don't really feel comfortable talking with my parents about 'anything'.

I guess the frustration shows, but I don't want to bother them, and it takes too much time to explain every single thing that's built up over god knows how long.

Maybe it's like layers of grime building and building. It's not really like rust because rust is more of a 'digging' force. You know, rust opens up more iron for more rust, etc. etc.

 I guess there's also driving to be learned but...

Driving's not really something I need at the moment - I'm happy enough to use trains.

Buses suck though.

I think it's another part of my parents' secret plan for me to get a girlfriend and probably married.

But then why are they wanting me to get braces now when my teeth haven't changed in years?

Sometimes I think they're not comfortable talking to me about things, but then why should they expect a superhuman level of initiative if they won't tell me when we're going out for something unless it's 1 hour beforehand.

And then they tell me not to leave things last minute.

I'm going to go do something else.

Hoping you guys had good results :o

Dusting off, however hard

"Who is Anne Frank?"

I wonder if anyone else knows.

I suppose people may be wondering what I've been doing - not much.

Finally started trying to organise that competitive TF2 stuffs

I do need a better computer though - it's kinda disappointing.

Honestly not too much I can really say I've done - I haven't gone overseas for holidays, and I haven't exactly done anything exciting.

Watched a lot of videos I suppose.

I really want to move out though.

It is horrible at home.

It might be fine for someone else, sure but it's not something I really enjoy.

Maybe that's my goal - to write enough to-do lists till that goal comes up and I can move out.

Maybe one day I'll look back and regret that I wanted to move out.

But I don't really care for that day.

Mm. I don't think I really want to say anything else today I suppose.

Good to see you all again.

Hoping you guys are having fun :o

Formal.... among... other things.

"So genki?"

The formal was great - thanks for everyone who went, I mean, it wouldn't be fun if people didn't come right?

Aereas, did you end up slipping the cd in his drink?

I should get around to uploading my photos right....

But I'm not sure how to tag and ugh facebook.

Can I just send them to someone?

It's been a while since I was on here, I wonder if I'm doing it right.

On second thoughts who really cares.

I don't particularly have too much to say, maybe I'll think of more later, I just wanted to post a few things.

Namely something I was watching yesterday.

It's been a long time since I cried.

I hope you other medicine people can relate.

[Context: That there's the Medic. Kinda mad scientist and doctor rolled into one. With a bit of battle-ry.]

It has absolutely nothing to do with what TF2 is about mind you.

Anyway,

Here's to

Hoping your schoolies are all in order and that you don't get fully sunburnt or anything crazy like that.

Day[9] meets TF2 D:

So uh... someone tell me what's going on.

I haven't played in weeks, but I think I don't want to watch those videos cause they're entertaining, but a little cringe worthy.

Still, I had forgotten what it's like to play a game afresh.

Desensitivity?

Maybe my memory isn't all that bad...

Hoping you guys are having fun... Phys friday D: And Legal!
