It is all a bit scary, I have a looked at lists of subjects that may be in the GAMSAT for the science section and even though I have almost finished a degree in chemistry it all still looks like gibberish. It is just so hard to know where to start. Do I start off by studying from texts of do I do practice questions first? I think I will start with chemistry as all the knowledge is there I just have to remember it, then physics as I have done 1st year uni physics (although that was way back in 1999), then Biology as I have never done any biology, not even in high school.
How do you study for section I & II????????????
I have read that I should read but when am I going to fit that in? With 2 kids, PT work, FT uni and several extra-curricular activities when am I going to get all of this study done???? Now I am just psyching myself out. I am telling myself that writing a blog is good practice for section II but I don't know if that is true.
Lets set some study goals for this week:
- Write 1 timed essay (only 1 this week as I will ease into it especially with Xmas to distract me)
- Find 2 poems of different types and analyse them
- Get to the end of chapter 7 of my 1st year chemistry text (doing chapter summaries and practice questions)
In other news:
We got the house clean in time for Adeline to come over yesterday (just - but don't look in the laundry LOL). I had a really nice time, I was glad that the conversation flowed as easily as it did after such a long time. I do believe that she now thinks that I have very peculiar children. When DS had finished his dinner he started stripping in the middle of the room and poor Ad didn't know where to look. It was pretty funny and it made me realise how well trained they are, he knew it was bath time as soon as he was finished his dinner.
I was pretty happy that we cleaned the house because Dad rang up and wanted to come over and visit for Christmas and we were able to say yes. Although this led to me having to go shopping today because I hadn't even thought of Dad and Marion (his wife) when it came to presents. We only see him a couple of times a year. So today I went shopping with mum, as mum hates shopping so I figured that this would make it quick because she tries to spend as little time there as possible. My quick shopping trip turned into a big 4 hour shopping ordeal because my theory backfired. She hates shopping so much that she hadn't done any and we had to do all of her Christmas shopping. I spent money that I didn't have on stuff that I could have gone without and ended up having to borrow from mum just to survive till pay day. On the bright side Mum bought me a new dress.
Dinner with dad went well. I told him about my Dr plans and he was really supportive (excited even) but it led to a nagging session by Maz trying to convince Dad to go and get some formal qualifications. He is smart but life took him in a different direction and now he is a labourer with no qualifications. They gave me make-up again (3rd year running) LOL. I don't know if it is meant to be a hint or if they just don't pay attention because I just don't wear make-up unless it is a wedding.
Well I am buggered as I have had 2 really late nights and I have to working the morning so goodnight.
