Dear Diary,
I just had a test on Epidemiology, and it was horrible! It’s only a mid-semester 50 minute test and it only counts for 15% of my total mark for that paper, but I had not been to any of the lectures (on the account of me being in my room pining for my ex girlfriend to come back to me) and I did not know the answers to half of the questions!
As I was walking into the lecture theatre for the test, I experienced major De ja vu. For this paper there are 2 mid-semester tests (one was 5 weeks ago), and reinforcing what I said yesterday about time going by so quickly, it seemed like it was only a week ago that I took the first test. And I felt the exact same, I was not prepared for either of these tests. Oh well, that’s life. I spent too much time dwelling on ex girlfriend who broke my heart, and now I have to pay the price for it. Major lesson learnt though, and I won’t ever do it again.
I also got my Biochemistry mid-semester test results back today as well, and as I predicted they were horrible (but I still really like biochemistry). It was below average (usually I get above average on tests) which wasn’t surprising because I didn’t go to the lectures or study for it at all.
And, the big kicker, I got my UMAT test results back as well (it’s sort of like a test on your people/social skills, math/logic skills and is sort of like an IQ test all in one) and I got in the 93rd percentile! That mark was brilliant, and counts towards my grade point average to get into medicine but, as you may know, I forgot to apply into Medicine, so those high marks are just useless! Nothing more I can say about that, I just feel like kicking myself.
Also, my friend is pressuring me to flat with him. He’s got 2 others and he needs a 4th person – but honestly, I hate one of the people he is planning to flat with. I don’t get along with him, and I don’t want to live with him next year. Of course they don’t know I hate him, but I’m trying to weasel my way out of it… but then if I do, I’ll have no-where to live next year. I really don’t know what to do but I’ll just go with the flow and see what happens. I don’t mind if I flat with random people that I’ve never met, just not my friend’s friend that I hate.
Yours, -Harper
