The One After the First Semester

Okay, so I was walking out of Randwick Racecourse after my Psych exam today with Goodnight and Go blasting in my earphones, right? Then it hit me: I'm finally done with the first semester of Uni! Well, it officially ended two weeks ago, but I wanted to wait until after exams before actually celebrating.

Anywho, I'm pretty stoked about having four weeks to chillax. The coolest thing is probably how sleeping late is now voluntary rather than compulsory. Now, 4AM bedtimes happen 'cause I'm chatting or watching TV, instead of cramming or frantically trying to conclude an essay.

Anyways, my exams weren't nearly as bad as I'd imagined. Funnily enough, even though Psych's my major, it was the exam I worried the least about, and with good reason: it was a three-hour multiple choice exam that I finished in 90 minutes. Hope I didn't underestimate it though, and hopefully I end up with at least a credit average. If the deities of fate would look kindly upon me, I'd end up with a distinction average, but that might be asking a bit too much.

Anywho, the other two exams were pretty okay as well. Maths was fun; three-hour exam, right? Took two hours to finish the first section, leaving me with a generous hour to finish the last part. After finishing the first half of section two, I had twenty minutes left on the clock. Me being me, I accidentally thought I had an HOUR and twenty minutes. Brilliant. Go Mart! The biggest surprise was Micro; it was definitely easier than I had imagined. The 'essay' questions weren't really essays, but more like short answer questions, which definitely took a load off. So here's hoping I passed both those courses as well. Anywho, it's 1:47AM, and I've got a DVD-searching appointment tomorrow with the guys, so I guess I'm off to bed. Oh, and the wonders of being spoiled: the parents are buying me a 60Gb Video iPod tomorrow. Awesome. Anyways, later days!

P.S. Added some pics from my party that Fonz took with his cam. Funny how there's always typical Filo photos during parties, i.e. the 'under-the-birthday-marquee' photo, the 'stand-next-to-the-party-food' pic, etc.
