My chance for psychology honours!

An e-mail made my night!

I was being sent an e-mail about the application of psychology honours. I thought it was similar to the one i read last year (they send the e-mail to all students who are doing third year units). Well, the entry requirements to honours was the same. However, my eyes sparkled when i read this part...

In 2008 we will make at least 16 additional Honours places available to students who do not meet all of these requirements. These will be awarded on a competitive basis by inspection of grades in level 3 Psychology units. Even if you fall short of the Honours requirements you are strongly encouraged to apply.

Can I start mid – year?
A Yes, but it takes 3 semesters to complete so you must be able to enroll part-time. Mid – year places are not offered to students who miss out on the grades.

oh man.... my eyes lited up as soon as i read these few sentences. THey're giving out 16 more honours position! And i get to start mid year! This couldnt be more perfect becos 1) i finish in june next year, which is perfect timing to start my honours and 2) I take a longer time to finish my honours = less stressed and more time to complete my thesis!

woo hoo! This couldnt be delightful than it is now. No, not delightful... better than that! I've been wanting to do honours ever since i attended the psych conference. Plus an honours student in UWA just told me that spore accepts a psych student for a "psychologist" position as long as they have a min honours in psych!

So now, I'm gonna apply for the honours programme and hopefully, i'll be able to get in.

These means a lot of things. My results for my psychology units this semester is v. crucial. I've gotta get all distinctions for my psychology units. Which means i gotta ace my assignment and my exam.

On top of all these, i am overloading this semester. Means i am doing an extra 2 commerce units. I am dying in finance... I've got a mid sem this thurs and i have no idea what the unit is talking abt.... I was on the verge of giving up my finance major until noelle and shireene was like " hey nic, u're already almost there! How can u give up your finance?"

So now, i'm gonna work real hard to get my distinctions for my psych units and pass my commerce units. Been trying to work real hard this sem. On top of iss stuff. Iss stuff overwhelms me sometimes. So much more things are happening than i expect.

Also been doing tonnes of readings. Sometimes i read and read and i dont even know whether its goin into my head. And the worse part is that my eyes get really blurry after reading for v. long.

In order achieve my goals, its the time or at least till the end of the semester where i really need everyone's understanding and patience. Be understanding that i dont have time to go out now except for iss events. Be understanding that i might not want to spend time cooking dinner sometimes cos i have to rush on assignments (hehee... hmm i was wondering if my housemate would be kind enough to cook dinner for me sometimes...) Be encouraging and give me the motivation and support to reach my goals... Pls try to understand if i cant make it for stall duties or mcw events as i have to do my assignments... lastly, i think i am gonna get really stressed for my finals... so be paitent with me and understand if i get really stressed....

Yeah... that's all i've got. My head's almost exploding from studying for AFM. Wish me luck for that! Cos i think i need it right now!!!

Move over cupid, there's friendster...

Thanks mag... for that little spirit that u've given me...

I won my last ticket to my future!

Hehehehe... I am at Noelle's house blogging now... I took her all the way home so that she could drive her car to Utopia... We're both gonna watch the preliminary rounds of the Utopia karaoke competition. Cool!

Before that, I just went to confirm my booking for suyen and I's combined birthday party at Onyx Bar. Hopefully its gonna be great! Oh, and I took jason to the airport to get a DHL package which was uncessfully delivered to our place. Ahh.. inside the package was Jason mum's hint of getting Jason to come up with Plan M. Hehe.. shall not say any further, but oh Jason, shouldnt Plan G come first? Time to think about it... hehehhehe...

Oohh.. and I just secured my last ticket to my future. When I was having a psych lab this morning at 9am, my tutor just reminded me of a psychology honour's conference happening next mon from 9am to 5pm. WE have to queue up to get tickets for the conference, which just happens to be at the reception 3 levels below. We ended class just 5 mins before 10am. Most of my classmates were down waiting for the tickets. Well, i thought to myself I prob wouldnt have the time to go cos i have a mid sem and 3 assignments. And I Wasnt sure if i was gonna do honours. BEsides, i had plans to go for KTV with Noelle. So i walked straight out of the psych building and towards the reid library where i was gonna meet her. On the way there, i kept thinking about the conference. One hand was "it would really be a good opportunity to see what honours is all abt, the diff kinds of projects etc, and also good for my lab report cos i would have an idea how to write a better lab report blah blah..." but on the other hand, i was thinking " Ah, i have better plans with Noelle... and i am not sure if i am gonna do honours, and i want to do counselling psych which would only be offered in murdoch or curtin.. blah blah" My mind was still swinging both ways till i reached the reid library to print out my notes. I already pressed print on the computer. But I wasnt at ease. At that point in time, my legs took control. I walked out of the library and, as fast as my legs could take me, i sprinted to the psych building (5 mins walk away...) and asked for a ticket. The receptionist asked me" did you e-mail me to ask for a ticket?" I shook my head. Oh yeah... i received an e-mail a few days ago abt the conference and i had to e-mail the receptionist my interest in goin for the conference so that I could get a ticket. Damn! But then she said" Ooh, you are so so lucky. There is only one ticket left..." I was soooo happy! I grabbed the ticket like a happy child and grinned while leaving the building. Woo hoo! I get to go to the conference! U have no idea how badly i wanted to pursue my psychology career. Even to the extent of giving up my finance major... Hopefully, the conference will be useful... Hehe... and hopefully, i'll be able to do honours in psych in UWA =)

Okies, gotta go to Utopia now. Check out all the good singers. Tata! Till then...

so you have not heard from the long lost shuhui/nicole

I dont know if its becos i am so caught up with everything else except to blog or becos i lost the mood to blog... so many feelings i wanna express... but so few words can protray what i am feeling right now... mix of many emotions i've never felt before... whole new experience... whole new dimension... ah... life of shuhui/nicole has taken a new turn... a good one i hope.... whole new events and thoughts to put into the little book of my life...

anyways, back the the usual, mundane, boring stuff. Well, just finished an audit-mid sem on saturday. This is the paper which i am most unprepared for. Well, passable is good enough for me at this pt in time.

Overloading this semester is not easy. On top of the other things which always seem to find its way for me. A colourful and vibrant uni life, as Lisan would say. The Reid library seemed to be my second home for now. When i get back home, i cant seem to study... no mood to do anything. Just wanna stare at my msn and stone... Seeing other people study in the library makes me study; cos there are others like me who are studying as well. Makes me feel nerdy.

On another note, I've just organised a trip to chittering valley. Went to the honey factory to see honey making process, have a bit of honey tasting; follwed by a tour to the orchard. Had a chance to pick mandrines from the orchard and eat them. They're so sweet! Compared to the ones i bought, which were sour :( We then went to the winery where i was grilling sausages for lunch and the rest were out there having wine tasting... oh man... but i bought one for myself... sweet! Lastly, went to the maze where we all had to get our way out of it. The girls got quite lost while the boys were way ahead. Nonetheless, we all found our way out... hehehe

Suyen & I @ the Orchard @ Chittering Valley

other than that, i've been picking up the guitar a few weeks back. To my astonishment, i've been having the urge to play every night. For at least an hour... trying to write songs, but not quite successful. Been playing a few songs now, trying to improvise them. Not quite a contestant in idol shows yet. But yeah, hopefully substantiative for something coming up quite soon.... well, shall not say further...



Right, my trip to the eastern states. Hehehe... quite lazy to post pics up at the moment. Oh, but i uploaded quite a few on my friendster. Take a look at them!



Oh, and i would like to welcome 2 new readers, mr lamomok and mr little jay chou, andu! Haha.. love your blogs! Keep it up! I'll be both of your faithful readers!
