busy busy busy!!

UNSW Open Day

I arrived at 9:30 just in time to hear the medicine lecture. It was kind of a scary eye-opener as to how hard I have to work, much harder than I have been if I want to get in. To think that I'm competing with so many freaky smart people just for 146 places is very daunting. But as my mum said, all I have to do is do my best, and let everything else work itself out. If I don't get in, at least I won't have any regrets.

Afterwards I walked down to the Roundhouse to grab booklets, then wandered for about an hour, seeing familiar faces almost everywhere. haha I was saying hi to study campers throughout the day =)

Since I had to leave early, I just had sushi for lunch (didn't feel like hot food coz it was soo hot!) and then I caught the bus back to Central. I got to the platform and the train was just about to leave so I ran onto it. Then I almost had a heart attack coz I thought I got onto the wrong train. I did get onto the wrong train but fortunately it also stopped at Ashfield. phew!

Cowra Training Day

This was fantastic! I was a bit nervous as I hadn't gone to the first one, and didn't know what to expect. But everyone was just soo welcoming and friendly, and soon I found I had a lot of mutual friends (haha small world isn't it?) There were a lot of people there and I just kept thinking it's soo awesome to be with a bunch of Christians who are all so passionate about mission! We split off into smaller groups as part of the training seminar on how to write a bible talk which I really enjoyed as I got to know my group. haha probably the best thing was meeting two 3rd yr med students from UNSW! I was very excited...unfortunately I couldn't stay for section time, coz I had to catch the train back to central to get there by 4:15 (i ended up arriving late at 4:30)

Jono + Stanton's 18th

At Central I met up with Ben, Sam and Mel who had been to SCCCA! *cries* I would've LOVED to go but unfortunately I physically can't be in two places at once. obviously. sigh... of course they were nice enough to fill me in on how good it was, thereby making me feel even worse that i couldn't go >< rargh, must go next year!!

We then met up with the other study campers and eventually found our way to Y2K in Chinatown for afternoon tea. Funny moments included:
- Ash asking the waitress in english if she spoke cantonese. The waitress replies "of course!" Then Ash ends up ordering in english -_-"
- Mel, Jono and Jesse sculling the spicy sauce and almost obliterating their taste buds in the process.
- Amanda whips out her calculator from nowhere when we're trying to figure out the bill!

Afterwards, around 6:30 we got beseiged by ppl from Street Idol... and (I still can't believe they did it) but some study campers (NOT ME) actually went on stage and were singing and dancing and... i'll stop there. hahaha there was nooo way anybody could've dragged me into that sort of thing...
