LLL

We had Life Long Learning today. It consisted of 3 seminars which were Financial planning (budgeting) and Interview techniques, Role models (ex-students and what they are doing), and Study tips. Unlike some, I found most of it quite helpful, except for the Role models segment, because it just made me stress about not knowing what I want to do in UNI. The man who held the Financial planning and Interview techniques session was extremely boisterous. His shiny shoes squeaked against the wooden floorboards when he moved, and boy did he move around a lot. He used his hands a bit too much I'd say. It was funny - he was wearing a microphone on his tie and it was on the left side of his chest. During the seminar, there was a beating sound coming form the speakers and he stopped and listened to it and said he could start rapping to it. I wondered what the sound was, and one of my friends told me it was his heart beating. pretty amazing hey. Although, makes me wonder why his heart wasn't beating for the first half of the seminar.

The man was quite humerous in fact. He told us a few funny stories, and at one point I was crying from laughter. Twas funny.

The ex-students session made me think I wanna do something related to medecine, but not medecine (or pharmacy or dentistry for that matter). I don't want to chop up dead people in UNI. Eww. The reason I got this idea was because one of the girls that had finished the HSC this year wants to do something thats related to medecine and physics, 'cause she isn't keen on the idea of chopping up people either. Although I'd prefer not to do anything physics related :) I more want to be a specialist. But that requires stupid medecine. I really don't see why I have to chop up body parts if I'm not going to be a surgeon. Arghh.

The study techniques were very helpful, but as most things, won't do anything unless you apply them yourself. I doubt I will. But I'm atleast motivated to get my act together next year and really try to try. I have to learn to time manage before year 12. If thats the only thing I learn next year, then so be it.

Anyway, all in all, a pretty average day. Nearly the weekend :D
