I really have no idea what to study for the exam tomorrow LOL.
Gender Studies has always been my most confident and clueless subject =))=))=))=)). Such a contradiction!
But it's true. No matter how much you study, if you don't have enough basic knowledge about social issues and don't have your own opinion and not being consistent, you will never be able to answer to the essay questions, at least to my professor's questions. Even the professor keeps encouraging us to use our own arguments and examples, to be ourselves. That's what I like about this subject. It's called FREEDOM TO VOICE YOUR OPINIONS!!! So stick with my own knowledge and do the essays confidently, not following the others and just being myself is what I am going to do tomorrow.
In other words, I am so not going to study LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. End of story :jogging:.
===============================================
Today I went back to my high school to get my academic merit medal (and it is such an ugly medal = =~) and year 12 individual subject leading certificates (these "papers", again, are not as pretty as I had expected them to be = =~. They should have done something about the material = =~, it's not worth to be the called "the merit certificate of the whole year 12") because that year the ceremony was held too late, I was already in Vietnam when they were presenting the awards LOLOLOLOL. And I was too lazy to going back there until my mom kept nagging at me not too long ago to add in my documents for the US embassy. I met 4 teachers who taught me Accounting, Economics, Business and Politics in year 12 8-}8-}8-}8-}8-}. All of them kept asking me about what am I studying right now and how am I feeling blah blah...
By chance, I met three of them at once in the common room =))=)). So funny, LOL, when my accounting, economics and business teachers who happen to also be accounting, economics and business head teachers of my highschool (that means they were the ones who were supposed to present the 1st place awards to me LOL but they couldn't as I did not attend the ceremony) asked me about what major I am doing now, I said languages and international relations and they got mad at me for not doing anything related to Commerce at all LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. And the funniest thing is actually three of the certificates I got are 1st place for those three subjects puahahahahahahhahah... All 2nd and 3rd places of each subject are all doing Commerce degree at my uni, different majors but at least they will probably graduate with a Commerce degree on their hands and will work in that field in the future. But only me, puahhahaha, not doing any accounting, econs or business AT ALL =))=))=))=)). When they asked "So do you still remember something related to our subjects?", I "uhmmmmm" for quite a long time and they looked like they were losing their patients by asking "Not even a bit?". I pretended to look innocent and when I was about to speak, they all shouted at me "SAY IT AND WE WILL NOT GIVE YOU YOUR CERTIFICATES EVER!!! YOU DIDN'T ATTEND THE AWARD CEREMONY AND WE COULDN'T GIVE OUT OUR CERTIFICATES LIKE OTHER HEAD TEACHERS DID AND NOW YOU'RE SAYING YOU DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING WE TAUGHT AT ALL???". OMG I was laughing so hard at their horror expressions =))=))=))=))=))=))=)).
In the end, I had to reassure them that I still remember "a lil bit" about accounting, economics and business (yes, I had to list all the names of all three subjects = =~) and I'm very grateful to them for teaching me so many interesting things that year. And right at that moment, my HANDSOME and CHARMING economics teacher looked at me with a smirk saying, "I remember you always slept throughout my classes". I was horrified, asking him "YOU ACTUALLY KNEW???? I thought I pulled a book up in front of my face to hide...". He laughed again = =~, "Sorry but nobody in the class did that like you so by pulling the book like that, you actually pointed out yourself that you were doing something suspicious. And for god's sake you were sitting like one meter from me and sleeping so soundly". And RIGHT AT THAT TIME AGAIN, my other 2 INCREDIBLE teachers had to nod continuously "Yeah she did that in our classes too.". Gahhh, I thought they didnt know but in the end only me is the one who didn't know that they knew I was sleeping in all of their classes LOLOLOLOLOL.
After bidding goodbye to them, I headed towards the English department. They all remembered me and were very nice asking about my uni life and stuff. Nothing happened there, of course not dramatic like with the previous meeting =))=)). But it was always like that, the English department was the most peaceful department in my school, at least when I was still there, I dun know about how it is now LOL. After waiting for about ten minutes for the head teacher to return, I finally managed to take a picture of her giving me the certificate. Although I was still scared of her strict face but in overall, it was nice meeting them again.
My Politics teacher has always been the most gentle teacher in the world LOL. She pulled me into the department staff room then put a cup of water and a pudding in front of me, insisting me to eat while waiting for the head teacher LOLOLOLOLOLOL. She also asked me about my major and was very happy when I told her I'm doing Government and International Relations though she was a bit taken back at the fact that I had rejected the law degree offer. But in the end, she said that as long as I'm happy with my study and life, she's happy too. It was actually very touching...
After taking all five certificates, I went down to meet the Principal. He was Deputy Director when I was there but after the Principal retired, he took the duty. I still remember he was very strict in the outside appearance but when we talked to him, we were very surprised at how friendly and gentle he was. Good thing is nothing changes at all. While presenting the medal to me, he said "You should have come to the ceremony to see how some of your head teachers running on a rampage while saying they were being rejected by a student" puahahahaha. He didn't have to say the names as I already guessed who did all of those rampages LOLOLOLOL.
So in the end, finally I OFFICIALLY took a look at my highschool scores and stuff (it's weird because I don't really like looking back at marks. What's done is done, there's nothing you can change and looking back at them just gives you a bad feeling anyway. It's better to keep moving on and do other stuffs instead). One of those rare marks I actually did take a look closely is my HSC exam result to decide which uni offer I should accept. But really, looking at those documents, certificates and medal only makes me miss my highschool "glory" days = =~. It's such a pity that I couldn't see any teacher who taught me in year 10 and 11.
So all is good. Though the medal is ugly, the certificates are too crappy LOL (in my opinion), I can still be proud that I managed to get first place in the whole year 12 for acc, econs and business; 2nd place in english, 3rd in politics and an honored medal from the Principal though I was sleeping "soundly" (like my charming teacher had declared LOL) throughout the classes =))=))=))=)) (Ghosh... How I miss those hilarious teachers =))=))=))). Those will be my most treasure things of the time studying in Sydney... I don't care about what place I get, all I care about is whether they are proud of me or not.
I didn't tell them about my US plan next year though, I wanted to have a fun coming back instead of getting all emotional at the fact that I am about to leave by next year. That might be the last time visiting the school, for me... I wanted them to look at me with a happy smile while I was walking out of the gate proudly. And I think they did...
Okay... stop here!!! I'm getting emotional out of nowhere = =~.
P/S: Just look at the report = =~. OMG.... I can't believe my economics teacher did write this about me: "Despite her fake innocent face and lazy tactics, she is an outstanding student..." ROFLMFAO........ I've never seen any teacher writing report about student like this in my whole life.... LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.... BRILLIANT... I LOVE YOU CAMERON =))=))=))=))=))=))=))=))=))=))=))
*wipes tears while laughing like crazy*
