Fob glasses

I somewhat desperately want fob glasses. And I want to master some asian languages. THEN I CAN BE THE ULTIMATE FOB. whoo, awesome. I aspire for the highest, yerr.

hahah I had stuff to blog about, but I really can't be bothered and I have an assignment due tmr. SO I CONTINUE WITH IT!

oh, i do remember something i wanted to blog about!

i know i dont talk about relationships very much or whatever, but i think i've developed a really bad defense mechanism where I nit-pick at bad qualities to the point where, in my mind, the person seems very ______, when there is the remotest chance of liking them. ugh. BAD. BAD. BAD. and the ______ isn't actually a word, it's just a blank because I have no word to describe it. i pick at things which annoy me and also things that make me think that they don't like me as a person. whoo. a little less known fact about john.

-jmah

oh and ive realized, ive started to sign off emails with -jmah as well. hahaha, it's just the easiest thing to write and john is too common.

Oh! Things to blog about

I forgot to mention my biology lab on Monday. I'll explain later when I will properly blog later tonight.

And explain my goals.

And. OMGOSH. I really want to put up my bioethics essay, but then i betchu that they'll find my essay with a plagiarism finder and fail me. ugh. but its interesting. i did it really last minute, so its kinda bull, but its still pretty interesting. im really glad i finished, and the logic actually made sense... i think. =)

I'm in the library at uni right now, supposed to be studying but facebook and email and blogger attract my attention more than human movement and digestive fluids. ugh.

UNI ATM:

Trying to get stuck into work! I'm really behind on math worksheets and stuff as well as human biology online modules. Also my bioethics readings... half a week behind. RAWRGH. we're doing eugenics atm. Psych is really chill at the moment, just one online quiz a week and they can be done as many times as we like, so its pretty cool.

now im actually considering putting up with a dip lang as well... but i'd seriously take like...5-6 years to finish this. ho-shit. im thinking if i do honors, maybe during my honors year ill do part time studies as well to finish off either dip lang units or my second science major units... hmmm......... so much to do in so little time. RAWRGH.

ok, back to biology.

Hi!

Sorry, long time no blog.

Well, it looks like I didn't get a place in Bond medicine =) which means I stay in Sydney! =D

I'm slightly, but only ever so, disappointed that I didn't get it, which is silly, because it's based on self-centered expectations and what not. But it seems that God has placed me in Sydney, and this is a confirmation of that. It's strange, because I think as it was the time when the offer day was coming up that I was most conflicted about it my potential decision. I must say, my heart is in Sydney right now (and before the 18th) and to leave would have made me even more disappointed than I am now. So I am glad. =)

OMGOSH. Now I'm decided how to strategically plan my degree. I don't know whether I want to try to transfer to medicine still, because I've spent ages planning my degree and I have a pretty good idea what I think I want to do. I'm trying to double major (which is actually gonna force me to overload for the next 5 semesters of my degree, 4 of which I'll have to balance against clinical placements!) Then for my 4th year I'll be back to a normal load of pure nursing subjects. ALTHOUGH! I am considering doing an honors year in psychology just to open up the doors of becoming a psychologist as well. So I'd take 5 years in total to come out and the pathways that I could follow at that point in time would be one (or a combination) of the following:

-practice as a nurse

-complete two years of further psychology education (+hours of supervised practice) to be registered as a psychologist

-go for post-grad med

-apply for military service (or maybe even during my studies...)

I've decided that to put languages on TOP of that, is a bit too much, because it would take me 6 years and I would come out with a bachelor of science major in psychology (honors) and history and philosophy of science, master of nursing, diploma of languages. HAH. yeah, right. That's not gonna happen. I'm not going to spend 6 years to do that... I won't "study" languages as part of uni, but I'll definitely try and study in my own time. Goals for the moment:

-maintain Chinese conversational skills

-pass JLPT level 3

-learn basic Korean (maybe score between 161-200 on the B-KLPT, if I can be bothered taking the test)

AND another goal: GOTTA LOSE WEIGHT BEFORE OCTOBER FOR BROTHER'S WEDDING. FREAK. OUT.

=)

Oh and my church hunting has come to a very sticky situation. I've found 3 churches that I like... but can only go to MAXIMUM 2... unless I pick and choose between bible study, uni groups and service. Haha. Don't think that that is really possible. I think my deciding factor right now will be distance from home. So when I move, maybe my churches will too. It's weird using church in the plural form. Hmm. I would actually go to 3 if it didn't kill to much time and I could make it to all three and manage to do some study... but it's really because there are clashes between some stuff. So, no.

OKAY. SLEEP TIME. UNI TMR. YAY. LAB. DON'T FORGET. SHOES. OR LAB COAT. OR. STUFF.

15 minutes to the big day

Although I have no freaking idea what time it'll be published.

At uni I'll be constantly checking whenever I get the chance. Whoo. Awesome. I'll be so distracted.

BY THE WAY. The other day I ate this thing called the meat box, which is like chips and fatty meat. YUMM. Hahahha. Sooo greasy, but yum. A tad salty. Hahha, had a major headache afterwards. >_>

Oh well.

I'm so behind in work, it's not even remotely funny. First essay due next week! D=

SOW has this thing called REAP (hahah, awesome yes?) which stands for "Reading the Bible - Encourage - Accountability - Prayer" and I started today with this really awesome guy, James. We basically just caught up and then went through the first chapter of James (coincidence?) and talked about it and stuff.

OH. HAVE I BLOGGED ABOUT LAST THURSDAY! OMGOSH. I'll be doing it again tomorrow, but Student Life has these survey hours where we go out and talk to people on campus and ask them about spirituality, Christianity, Jesus and a whole buncha stuff. It was really interesting, but 'cause it was my first time I didn't say anything. It got pretty intense near the end, when another person had joined the convo and was like "AND WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT ABORTION? OR SAME SEX MARRIAGE" o_o scaaary.

Okay, I should at least finish my readings and do some biology learning from my textbook. Ugh.

Less than two days away.

RAWRGH. RAWRGH. RAWRGH. Not looking forward to it, apart from the fact of getting the decision over with.

I'm so behind in work, that I really shouldn't blog.

Sorry Mish, I lied. I didn't blog last night. Facebook consumed my life.

Sorry, no big news. Just a lot of work to do and catch up on.

-jmah

loves yous all. =) gl/hf and KICK ASS. =D

AHH. I'M GETTING FATTER D=

SHIIIIIITE.

NO MORE FOOD. D= hahahha. No, but RAAWRGH. Gotta start swimming again. Or running at the clubhouse gym o_o or biking. or something. RAWRGH.

John not so happy bout weight.

uni + life + everything = hectic

Everything is moving so faaast. I kinda don't want the 18th to ever come. I want time to just develop a void on that date and anything and everything that is supposed to happen on that day disappears. YAY.

University is funfunfun. People are coolcoolcool. My classes are really busy!! I feel really behind, slowly getting on top of things. I'm still really behind in biology, but I'm sorta where I'm supposed to be in bioethics and linear algebra. And the other two I haven't really done anything, because we haven't really been asked to do anything yet. Maybe that means I'm behind...? Shit.

Omgosh, I haven't really been writing about what I've done...

OKAY WELL.

Last Thursday I checked out Student Life. Coooool beans. Awesome group, loving the vibe, loving the people. Pretty cool. Later on the same day, went out with SOW people for some BANG BANG laser skirmish and err... bowling. Where I displayed my really unco bowling skills, but SUPRISINGLY I broke 100. XD By like... 2 points.

Friday, not much.
Saturday, my supposed "study day". FAIL. Drama-ed and ate the whole day. And chatted. Die.
Sunday, WENT TO A PRETTY AWESOME CHURCH. It was just what I needed with the whole situation in a Catholic home and stuff. THE MESSAGE WAS ON SALVATION THROUGH GRACE THROUGH FAITH. It was really good, and I must say that it was one of the most stimulating messages I've heard in a while. Although, I sorta heard it AGAIN on Tuesday, because it was the same pastor, but it's cool. It drives the point home. =) And some of the ideas were fleshed out a bit more.

Monday. O.M.GOSH. I totally forgot I had a lab and I wore thongs. *takes out gun and shoots self* Haha, so I decided to run to Broadway (a shopping place near uni) and buy shoes. Two friends came along, and guess what I found? VOLLEYS FOR $10 AT REBEL SPORT. HAHA. Yeah. It was great. And thankfully I made the decision to buy shoes, because they were kicking people outta the lab for wearing thongs. Eek. I was actually so unprepared for that lab... The things I needed to bring were LAB COAT, LAB MANUAL, SHOES, DISSECTION KIT and GLOVES. I bought shoes and gloves from broadway (although gloves weren't needed and I paid 2 dollars for them!! RIP!!) I had only brought my lab manual. UNIFAIL.

Tuesday, Student Life and SOW!! Whooo. Yeah. Started the morning with in the BEST way possible. I went to a prayer/worship meeting with some Student Life peoples and it was so awesome. It was held in one of the parks on campus and it was just so beautiful with the sun shining and the sky so bluuuue. Later, I went out for lunch with some SOW dudes where we had $3.5 dollar subs! D= Promo, buy one get one free! Insane. But the friend that took us, treated us too. D= hahah. Such a nice guy =D I was soooo tired and drained after that though, got so ticked off in my lecture later. After all my lectures, we had a SOW meeting, which is where I heard the same message on salvation through grace through faith. An analogy which Pastor Steve used that I really like was this: imagine a you're drowning. A man with a stick saves you by reaching the stick out to you, which you grab hold of and are pulled to safety - rescued. The stick is faith. The faith isn't what is saving us, but the (Son of)Man who has given us that faith. So essentially it's not any characteristic of the faith itself that saves us, except for who the faith is in. And the only right answer to that question is JESUUUUS.

Today, enrolled in the math learning centre, because I suck at math. BUT! BUT! BUT! I did my prep work for tomorrow, AS WELL AS THE WORK THAT WE ARE GONNA DO IN THE TUTE TOMORROW. Which means I'm ahead. I deserve a pat on the back for doing math in my own time.... no? no pats? FINE. *pats self* =DD

Ho'crap. This blog is long. I shall sleep soon. =) Goodnight!!

Hope all of you are well and truly well. =D Study hard people and enjooooooy.

Pros/Cons

I desperately need to do pros and cons for Sydney VS Bond. I'm so conflicted about it... I kinda don't want to get in, because then I don't have to make the decision. And if I do get in, I don't know what decision I'd make. So rawr rawr rawr...

UGH.

And living in this family friend's house ain't easy either. I'm finding it pretty challenging in terms of faith, 'cause my aunty is a devout Catholic and we don't really see eye to eye on everything. But I'm not very forward about what I believe, I just listen and question her POLITELY. I try to be anyways. It's good that it's challenging too though, I guess. It means I gotta be digging deeper. =)

STUDYING BIOETHICS...

zomgosh. Tis INTENSE. =(

My whole day today is supposed to be study study study. But haven't really "hit the books" yet... UGH. It took me around... around 3 hours to finish one reading yesterday!! (Fitty Tang made it enjoyable... at least half of it =D hahaha <3) and the reading is like 3 pages long. XD

BIOLOGY IS HARD. Ugh.

Psychology is fun fun fun.

LINEAR ALGEBRA AND DIF CALC ARE FREAKING INTENSE AS WELL. But it's okay. John can take it. xD Actually, I dunno about that.

I had something to blog about... now I can't remember. Ugh. Whatever.

Loving yous all. =) Mostly. Depending who you are. But oh well. =D

-jmah

John is happy happy happy.

Because I bought textbooks textbooks textbooks. Yay!

I had a biology lecture today... which was STREAMED from the lecture hall next to me! WTH. As if there are THAT many students and THAT few lecturers!! Man... It makes Bond look sooo much better. Haha, but I'm not complaining, I want to study psychology and bioethics anywhosers.

So many people in my bioethics class are really smart! Haha. I feel so... small! But it's still really interesting.

I bought a lab coat today o_o and dissection kit. Whoo. Haha. I bumped into a couple of guys that I met last night and we ran around doing errands xD The line outside the bookstore was MASSIVE MASSIVE MASSIVE MASSIVE. I like repeating my words... hmm. hmm. hmm. hmm.

I was thinking of going to a Hillsong service thing tonight or a Kareoke thing with the Japanese club... but I feel guilty from spending so much money today, so no kareoke, and my feet kill from waiting in line for everything so I decided to come home and DRAMA. =) Oh and examine my sexy textbooks =D

-jmahmahmahmah

P.S I'm liking uni =) <--- if there was a happy content face, I would put that, but I can't think of one. HOPE YOU GUYS ARE TOO! =)
