It's Over!

GAMSAT is finally done and dusted.

It feels so good to have it finished but now I just want my results and I have to wait eight long weeks. Sooo annoying.

I don't know how I went. I walked out feeling good. I finished all 3 sections which is not something I expected to do. That made me optimistic but now I am thinking that I may have ansewered them all but I may have answered them all wrong!!!

Section 1 was pretty tough and I guessed a few. The readings were long and heavy and I started to skim them and read the questions so I knew which bits to read in more detail. There was this insane flow chart on inuit kin groups and thier energy expediture, it was all over the place, it took up a whole page and was nuts. It was mainly long passages and poetry. The Medprep notes had questions about the structure but in the Gammy it was all content.

Section 2 had a essay about humour and an essay about human nature. From what I have read so far on paging dr I haven't seemed to have done the most popular ones.
For
Humour - I did the "most humour is cruel and malicious......." one (the 2nd bit was something about making someone a victim and I wrote about teasing, blonde jokes and funniest home video show.
Human Nature - I did 'whether your optimistic or pessimistic about human nature it changes your view of the world' or something along those lines. I wrote about acts of super human strength and adultery (it doesn't seem to make as much sense now)

Section 3 was so much easier than I was expecting. You really didn't need that much science knowlede as it was all in the question. There was one bio question that really had me stumped and I had to guess but I cant even remember it now. Just because it wasn't that hard doesn't mean I got it right though it could just mean I missed the point of it all and totally flunked!

Overall, I have no idea and I am just going to wait and see but I have my fingers crossed.

OK I'm off to bed as I am completely and utterly shattered (8am-5pm in a gruelling exam tends to do that)

I need more time

OMG, I have been so busy.

  • Uni has gone back and as much as I promised myself that I would keep on top of it this year I haven't managed to do a single reading yet
  • GAMSAT is only 2 1/2 weeks away and I am starting to freak.
  • The GK cocktail party was last week which was stressful
  • Emily's birthday party is this weekend
  • The school fete is the week after GAMSAT
The cocktail party went well but it was all very stressy. We didn't sell as many tickets as we would have liked so the last week was spent furiously promoting it. The bands had all these dramas and were whining and demanding on the night so that caused a lot of running around. It was mums birthday so I invited her along and I had to be extra nice because her shit of a partner didn't do anything. She threw a tantrum in the afternoon so he went out and got her a present but too little too late in my books. I also cooked her a cake and had everyone over in the afternoon. So it was a mad rush of a day between cooking and picking up nana and aimee and doing the last minute organising for the party so by the time I could finally relax I was ready to get very drunk and get very drunk I did. On the Friday I was supposed to have a fete meeting and tuckshop duty but I had to pull out because I was so sick. I had full on alcohol poisoning, you know the one where you can't move and you vomit continuously for hours even though there is nothing left to vomit. Not very nice, you can't half tell I don't drink much.

Emily's Party preparations are underway. I am pretty organised for it if you exclude the cleaning. I am leaving the cleaning till Thursday and Friday otherwise we will just make a mess again.

GAMSAT wise I have done nothing. I haven't studied or thought about it so now I am kicking myself. I think I switched to PT uni so that if I f*ck the gammy I can say it was just a practice but if I ace it I will drop one of the degrees and finish this year leaving me free for med school next year.

Well I have a to do list as long as my arm so that s all I have time for.
