Geez....

Well well well, it’s the end of the second week in school. Lots of stuff have been going on, including stuff that makes me sick and well, let’s just say that nobody wants to encounter them.

School has been good. It has been very kind to me for the first few weeks. Not really feeling the stress yet, but I’m sure in about 2 to 3 weeks time, I’ll be blogging a different story. I’ve signed up for three Year 3 courses and one Year 1 course (Psychology) and one of the year 3 course is on Research project. I was quite disappointed when I couldn't get the supervisor I want. He couldn’t take me in this year. = ( I really wanted to work in that lab though!! Cuz it’s quite reputable, it’s called Queensland Brain Institute (QBI). But, unfortunately, I don’t have the chance to be in there. But no worries, he recommended me another supervisor… which just saying his name, makes me nervous. I was supposed to meet him yesterday and while waiting for him at the office, I was so nervous my crap almost came out! Feel like a hamster who can’t control its own bowel movement when they’re scared! Anyway, he’s Dr Nickolas Lavidis. I know i know, you won’t know him unless you study science in Australia. Apparently, he’s this BIG SHOT guy in the Uni. Published like…hundreds (maybe thousands?????) of scientific papers and journals, gone on TV and news for interviews, gave a few seminar talks…. Ok… just mentioning all these makes me anxious. But at the same time, I’m feeling pretty excited about starting the project with him! Hopefully, I can gain lots of knowledge and experience from Dr Lavidis and have a good flag off in my career. = )

I’m going to be working with a PhD and Honours student on a project about what happens to the neurotransmitters in the hippocampus when they are under stress. For some of you who don’t know what hippocampus means, it has absolutely no connection with hippopotamus. Hippocampus is part of the brain where your memory cells are. = ) So, I’m still doing my project about brains – but my lab would not be in QBI. Hopefully, I won’t be killing much rats! *Geez…

Alrighty~… Enough about school. Weather has been good, it’s the start of autumn, though it can get quite cold in the mornings and night. Have been jogging regularly too, since I did not bring my tennis racket for apparent reasons. = ) But I kinda regret not bringing the racket. Not because I miss playing it, but because I could have attacked the flasher with it!!!! If I ever see that pervert again, I’ll make sure he never see his little brother again! Long story short – a flasher appeared at our house when we came home late one night after our night practical class. He was mas*****ing outside our house, flashing his d*** at us. I didn’t see it, but Yx saw it. But this happened too close to our home. Called the cops and all. Now, we’re VERY WARY of who walks behind us. Plus, this is not the first time. And it’s very highly the same guy who flashed at us the other time. But this time, I’ll be prepared. I’ll damage his little brother until he can’t even recognise it anymore, if I ever see him again.

Hope you guys had a fascinating time looking at the photos, I’ll be removing them soon. I had enough anatomy for the week.

Missing you guys always ~ Pa, Mummy, Kor, Gu Jie, Kare…
