Tomorrow is the official last day of my 1st semester in Clayton. Come to think of it, i think tt i have been blessed this semester. Aside from having no Asian shows to entertain me as i have back in malaysia, i have come to know many great frens tt have made my stay here so far a very memorable one. i must admit that life here has been better than i had initally thought it to be.
Lectures and tutorials here are of a higher quality than back in Monash Malaysia, but one thing about lectures and tutorials in monash malaysia is tt they are of a more 'friendly' atmosphere. some may beg to differ but this is just my personal opinion.
Currently having flashbacks now..time really flies.touched down here on 4th july. had to rush to find a place to settle down and having to cope with the huge expenses on buying necessities. not to mention being handicapped with no internet connection at home then.
Looking back on my 13 weeks of stay here, i should give myself a pat on my back for a job well done. i think that i have done an excellent job in adapting to the new environment here and i have delivered what was expected of me (from myself). i think i have managed matters in a matured and sensible manner (well, most of the times..) come to think of it, there's isnt anything i think i did bad...maybe the cooking part larz...haha! my housemates can practically guess wat i m gonna cook everyday now since i have limited dishes to cook..lolx! i'm just lazy to cook those dishes tt require a lot of prep during this period of time...since i m busy with preparing with exams.
Talking abt preparations for exams...3 weeks ago, i thought that i was a goner...3 weeks later...i have this to say "BRING IT ON MATE!" I am glad that i have managed to stick to my timetable (though there were some hiccups here and there due to re-doing of assignments) and come through. i couldnt have asked for more and everything is falling into place. getting better at handling exams i think...in terms of the physical preparation and mentally.
All in all, it's been a hell of a ride for the past 13 weeks and i enjoyed most of the times here. i m really blessed with good tutors and lecturers this sem...guess i will miss them...maybe i will see some of my stats tutors in future..but most prob not...going onto more complex stats next yr liaoz..
Gambate!
AUSSIE! AUSSIE! AUSSIE!
