I've finished...

I was chatting with my friend and we were talking about twitter... then about blogging... and then I decided to check my blogs and saw that I should post something here =P

I've finished my course! =D

After 3.5 years (due to me having to repeat some units 'cos I failed some units) I've finally finished my course... I don't get my certificate though and I'm not going to the graduation ceremony and people keep asking me WHY????? =.="

Why am I not going through the ceremony?
Because I'd have to pay.... For the renting, ceremony, guests, photography................ and the certificate... Not to mention it's long and boring as I've heard from some people... If you want me to go through the ceremony... Why???? Lol XD

Well I think I'll recap what I've learnt/how I've grown throughout the years of uni life =P and in case you're still not sure... I studied Bachelor of Computer Science

Year 1 Semester 1:
Basic Java.. Looking back.... the assignments are easy! Lol XD
Algorithms... It's also not hard... guess I didn't really pay attention in class... had to repeat this unit >.>
Mathematics... If you didn't study maths methods in high school, you're gonna have an extremely difficult time.......... yeah I didn't study maths methods in high school D: had to repeat this as well >.<
System units... no idea why we did this unit... didn't really have to use it in further units.... but i got a distinction for this unit anyway LOL even though i hated this unit second most.... hahaha XD

Year 1 Semester 2:
Computer Science.. this unit was pretty hard actually... but when i had to retake it, it suddenly all made sense O_o with some still very difficult parts XD
oh dear... i can't really remember what units i took in second semester... haha XD
another maths unit... this was still hard but I'm thankful to God that I knew someone who was doing honors in maths...whatever you could do that for O_o haha XD he helped me a lot :3 you know who you are!

okay i have my academic record open just so that i can see what units i did haha XD
IT in organizations.. I'd have to say that this was a really useful unit.. kinda saw how organizations work in terms of projects
IT for business.. this was an elective and I really enjoyed this unit since it was working with excel XD and not just any excel... programming with excel! so like visual basic stuff :3 i love that stuff! :D

Year 2 Semester 1:
Computer science... again... well it was more understandable this time and i made close friends by repeating this unit XD
algorithms... again... and it was so easy this time! how did i not see it... and this was actually where i met one of the friend that was part of the close friends group... and that's how i got into the group... haha XD (because she was the only girl! and has the same name as the other close friend i made much later in the course =])
Systems development.. this is similar to IT in organizations i guess... can't remember much that happened in the unit anymore though... >.< 'cos it was so similar?
E-business.. i really liked this unit as well.. taught me how to program websites with javascript and css.. and html i think? lol well it was a fun unit ^-^

Year 2 Semester 2:
youth media. why did i pick this unit? wasn't really enjoyable for me 'cos we had to write essays... lol XD after a year of graduating from high school, i'd forgotten how to write essays O_o
Data management.. i think this was the unit i did at caulfield.......... with 2 of my close friends... haha~ not a really useful unit for me i'd have to say XD
project management.. or maybe this one was at caulfield... nah i'm pretty sure it was data management... but i don't remember what this unit was... i think it's also very similar to IT in organizations and Systems development..
Algorithms and data structures.. oh man this unit was totally messed up >.> lecturer wasn't good and it kinda seems that......... IT lecturers that teach IT... can't operate a projector?! (with exception of the Computer science lecturer... she was nice actually lol XD) even my language lecturers could operate projectors better than I could seeing that i haven't fiddled with the system to see how it works lol... well going back to the unit itself... the content of the lecture slides wasn't that good either.. ahfhsaughas;ofijad;lkgj yeah..

Year 3 Semester 1:
Korean.. lol i got into kpop in my second year i'm pretty sure... then i got interested in learning korean 'cos of kpop XD and this is where i met the close friend i was talking about earlier XD said her first impression of me was an abnormally quiet girl......... sorry! LOL i was shy ; n; but now you know how annoying i can get muahahahaha~~~~
e-business.. no not a repeat... but i was disappointed after finding out that it was a different type of content than the e-business i did in the previous year XD and.... i can't really remember what this was about O_o
information and network security.. hah i remember i went to the lecture... to type up the lectures onto my onenote... 'cos that was the only way i could actually read the lecture slides XD that's actually how i started typing up the lecture notes i think.. and then i stopped going to the lecture 'cos it was 5-6 if i'm not wrong... and at caulfield too o.o and i had a class before this as well? this was an IT elective and it needed to be 3rd year so... nehh XD
System tools and programming languages.......... C... bash... linux... baosihdfoahges... this unit was also very messed up.. i left the exam with the paper more than half unanswered and i still managed to pass this unit...... i did learn some useful things though but it would've been easier if theory of computation was a pre-requisite for this unit since there were some things applicable from that unit...

Year 3 Semester 2:
korean again! a lot harder this time though o.o i think languages for me aren't good if they're so short and so fast... need longer time to digest the vocabs and grammar structures >.< *munch munch*
theory of computation.. also can't remember much but i remember that there was something in this unit that was useful for C, bash and linux XD
Computer Science Project... This unit was actually really fun but when I heard that there was gonna be a hurdle for class participation... i was so nervous D: dreading every week that i have to actually say something lol XD but it was the first time I made a full program that actually worked o.o and it was fun learning while doing it as well :D
maths that i had to repeat from first year semester 1... haha... but this time i had my notes from then and i understood better... maybe my understanding of things developed while doing the course o.o pretty sure i'm not the only one....

Year [3] Semester 1:
yeah i'm saying 3rd year 'cos i want to XD haha... well whenever people ask what year i'm in i just say final year.. maybe i should just change it to final year...

Final Year Semester 1:
Chinese... yes! i'm doing chinese! mainly 'cos i wanted to talk to my grandma in chinese... but also because i had electives i needed to fill... XD it was a good experience though! learning a language that i should've learnt many many years back... when i was still a kid... oh regrets of why i refused to learn~... if i had a time machine and went back in time... i'd have a good long chat with past me and tell me to learn everything that i'm given a chance to... ^-^ but that's past and i can't do that 'cos i don't have a time machine "OTL oh wells~ just pick it up and move on~
Japanese. Although I did this in high school... it was a really fun unit :3 actually talking to each other in Japanese... kinda....... lol.. >.<
Advanced programming.. this was where we had to work in pairs and develop an android program.. it was a really interesting experience although assignments every 2 weeks.............. and it was really stressful one time when i had some big problems that popped out in my personal life... can't really say that's over but i've got to deal with it... well anyway! one day i'm gonna make a game for android! :o one day.............. it seems hard to do when i think about it... haha
parallel computing.. i went to the first 2(?) lectures... then i never went to the lectures... i couldn't understand what he was saying so just headed home early that day and read over the lectures in my own time..... and did the tutes on the way to uni that day..... and did the labs the first few weeks in class but then decided to do them on my computer and then send it on the day i had my lab seeing that we had to send it to our tutor anyway XD (not to mention they already gave us the lab answers...) and then went to that lab when we had to demonstrate our program... the second assignment was fun :3 learnt everything related to the assignment from the labs that we were supposed to have learnt then LOL cram learning! it was also at this point that i realised how to properly study =.=" WHY WHEN IT WAS THE LAST SEMESTER????? WHY??? 웨?????どうして？？？？为什么？？？？ haha all that language learning... XD


well it was a fun experience... being at uni i guess.. making close friends... warm feeling in the heart~ ^-^ i didn't really stay for much club activities 'cos they're always at bad timings! D: i live far away you know! >!!<

Well that's it I guess ^-^ I don't get my certificate until 3 weeks after the graduation ceremony which is in October so I pretty much don't get it until November....... oh well... what you get when you graduate in absentia~ XD

Oh yeah, I had to check multiple times to make sure I actually finished my course O.O!! so paranoid about it~ >!!<

Well this is it! Thanks for reading! :D

Cz

What day is it?

Well... it is obvious that i haven't posted for so many days XP

I still haven't gotten a new phone so blogging still won't happen that much =P haha XD

well, after day 20, there were many more days~ XP like the second half of that semester, then study break, then exams, then mid-year break. and then second semester @_@ urgh~ it's already week 7! D: mid-semester break isn't til week 10 too... =( i need a break D: i wish i could study n stuff in my dreams XP 'cos dreams usually go so fast they seem like they go on for hours when it's only like 15 mins =X

inception!~! XD

*sighz*

i duno whether i should transfer uniz, change course or both =( i want to change course 'cos the maths is getting really hard D: and it'll only get harder... it doesn't allow me to enjoy what i'm doing =( and on top of that, the unit i'm good at isn't a core unit >.> urgh~

i don't exactly want to transfer uni 'cos i'm already quite settled in... and hello? monash is ranked #2 in victoria~ XP travelling's not all that bad either...

kya~ had a mid-semester test already D: lots of assignments too... =( yasumi~ yasumi~ yasumi~ (holidays~ holidays~ holidays~) sometimes i wish i were back in school... it was less stressful XP less assignments too XD although there are more tests but they're alright if you know the subject you're doing =P ah wellz~ i should live in the present... but somehow, i don't feel like i'm living like that... i think i'm living as if i'm thinking "what if i die tomorrow? =O" and everything rips =\

i wish i could have a break from life so i can just totally be myself without having to worry about anything at all

Day 20

The 6.50 vline train at marshall was rather empty… the entire train was quite empty in fact… I left earlier to buy a day ticket… and I cubed a bit =P I returned dad’s phone yesterday so now I’m stuck with my own phone T.T which can’t send notes via Bluetooth so I have to type this out T____T now I don’t think I want to blog anymore D: I want a new phone XD I went to sleep on the train though it feels like I didn’t… I took the flinders street train and the Cranbourne train was late then moved to platform 7 which was on the other side……. Of the platform… that I was on… and yes I also heard the announcement… through my ipod… which I forgot to recharge so the battery’s dying… D: and I only had my phone to entertain me if the ipod needs to rip… which it fails at……

Yesterday, I was wondering where all the high school kids were when I remembered that they’re on holidays already… well… I’m on holidays now too! XD hehe… I had the maths lecture and I actually understood things… =P it was a good thing I was going around with sam today or else I really wouldn’t go to that lecture… =P I have a better reason than both my brothers to not go to a single one hour lecture XD jon showed me the way to his house and since I returned dad’s phone yesterday, I didn’t have a map T.T but I managed to get there alive =P hahas XD we talked and talked and played the ds and talked and got sent to the glen and talked…. Yes there were lots of talking… filled in by lots of silences… lol… we went to the post office to post something of hers then we went to have lunch… which was very hard to decide what to eat =P

After lunch, we went to buy movie tickets… if I knew what movie we were going to watch (and what cinema) I could have bought tickets at monash for 10.50… after buying the tickets, we went to kill time by walking around… how sad… time can actually be killed by walking around… =( anyway~ after walking around, we headed back, bought some popcorn and a frozen coke drink then we went into the cinema~ we watched The Last song and it was okay but I have now decided that I don’t like movies where there’s a guy and a girl involved and they like/love/indulge each other… they get too mushy every time now and they’re usually predictable… which spoils everything… after the movie, we went to the train station and gave each other a big hug… but we had more time to kill so we waited on some benches… then we walked to the corner where sam was getting picked up… and talked a bit more then we walked to the station again… and gave each other another hug not quite so big… =P while I was walking to the other side of the train, I texted sam saying I miss her already… =( the train ride was boring too… =(

when I got to flinders street, I was waiting for the southern cross train to come but a vline train came first and I asked a staff where the train goes… then he asked me where I wanted to go. I answered. He told me to get on the frankston train since it was going on the city loop and he told me to hurry because it was going to leave any second so I hurriedly hopped on… I arrived at southern cross and I headed for the 6.09 geelong train then I saw that the 5.47 south geelong was still there so I ran for it. I was very tired by the time I got to the platform but I still kept running. And I made it on time^^ hehe…

re-typing this is very tedious… I don’t think I’ll be blogging very often if I can’t transfer via Bluetooth… someone donate me money so I can buy the phone I want XD

Day 19

Dad sent me to the 6.50 marshall train and I copied the notes that I took on my exercise book to the maths lecture notes because I forgot to bring it yesterday because someone ... Vacuumed my room yesterday XD after copying it, I decided to rest since I was tired... But I didn't manage to get much rest... The vline train was late too... I took the flinders street train then I took a cranbourne train at flinders. Nothing special to report further about the public transport. apart from the fact that shuttle buses are still running XD maths lecture was (insert boring-related word here) and so was algorithmics but I brought my laptop to keep me entertained just in case ^^ then I had a 2 hour break with jon because I didn't have the computer systems tute. We had a snack and then we went to play snooker/billiard/pool. I lost 3 times XD then we had a fun round which wasn't very fun for me 'cos I couldn't do what I intended to do =.=" I'm such a noob XD then we had the java lecture and it was boring. Tim left early and I had my laptop to entertain me again XD I won a minesweeper game and the battery life was about 12% left =P then we had a 1 hour break and got a free drink. We waited for jon's friends and then they went to play car racing and then snooker/billiard/pool again XD. After that, we had to go to our lab class. The first question took one hour XD then we did 2-3 questions in the other hour =P after that, I headed home. I was going for the 6.07-ish train to Geelong and I got a text from amoz that the train he was on was still at the station so I tried to get to that train but it left… so I had to take the 6:07-ish… I arrived at Geelong station and called amoz and turns out the train he was on was at geelong station so I just hopped on XD

Day 18

I woke up at 5.08 but went back to sleep... Still wondering if that was a good idea... =P we took the 6.56 south geelong and at the station, I saw someone that looked like a guy when I saw the upper half but when I saw the lower half, s/he was wearing a skirt which made me wonder if she was a woman... =.= what colour hair do scottish people have? XD I tried to do some work on the train but I was tired... =/ I had a one hour break after the maths lecture though so I did it then... But I didn't manage to get much done... =.=" I saw danielle and josh lim. I think that's his name XD I managed to do up to one question left so I decided to do it during the computer systems lecture while she was going over not very complicated stuff =) and I did get it done ^^ but I hope it's right... =/ I was reading something about plagerising something which went like "... Taking information from another source and trying to pass it off as one's own ... Without giving proper acknowledgement ..." so I asked "if we source where we got it from, is it plagerising?" XD tim's ipod touch was just sitting there so I had a look at it then richard did... And played a game with it XD and I played too =P I won XD they were too fast but there were only three buttons... Which was hard =.= so I basically just spammed the buttons XD after the computer systems lecture, I had the java tute. It was boring D: I didn't exactly learn anything... =/ then I had the maths support class and handed in the assignment. Did a few questions of the lab sheet and... Got instructions on how to get to jon/sammi's place for thursday where I only have a one hour maths lecture at 9-10... Then I went home. There were people rushing to get to the platform even though there wasn't a train coming... It train was a bit late and I couldn't get on the 3pm marshall train... Neither could amoz... So we took the 3.28… I had nothing to do so I went to sleep XD

Day 17

you guys better love me for staying up to 10:30 just to upload this blog XD

Dad sent me to the 8.16 train at marshall and the train wasn't there yet... Well it was but it wasn't in place... Anita and ash were already there. The train seemed to be moving slower than usual but maybe that's 'cos I'm used to the 6.50 express train. It was rather dark outside and since the roofs at southern cross weren't fixed yet, the place was wet... I still can't find my umbrella though... So I had to use my hoodie... Or not.... It stopped raining... There was a train at flinders street where there was a wall of pouring water falling infront of a door XD I took a picture but it hardly showed the rain... I seem to be taking lots of pictures lately... =P I should upload some... XD I took a pakenham/cranbourne train timetable and made lots of markings in it =P the train to pakenham was late then at the last minute, they announced that it was going to platform 12 and good thing I actually heard the announcement XP I was hungry when I arrived so I went to look for something to eat but I didn't find anything enticing or cheap to buy so I left disappointed and hungry =( Lol...

We had computer systems first and I tried to pay attention since there were new and complicating stuff which were very complicating... I managed to take a few notes but I didn't fully understand everything =/ after the computer systems lecture, we had the algorithmics lecture where tim and I tried to do our maths assignment XD didn't really work though 'cos we were partly paying attention to the lecture... Lol... After that, I had the computer systems pass class and today's was rather useful. I had a little practice with all those identities and those laws and whatnot... >.> still not used to it though... Ahaha... D:

then we had the java lecture. I wasn't really listening and I decided to do maths... =P I think the class decided when to leave though 'cos we finished about 10 to 3 =P perhaps you are wondering why I was so frantic about finishing the maths assignment... It's because it is due tomorrow and we are going to sofia's for dinner XD I haven't eaten there for ages so I was looking forward to it =) I headed off to melbourne uni =P I was planning to do more maths but I didn't expect richard to find so many friends on the way =P I think this is my first time seeing a uni student with a nose ring XD Lol...

I got to flinders street and I walked up to the tram station. On the way up, there was this really weird guy that pushed me aside and told me something along the lines of "don't walk in people's way. I know you did that deliberately" Blah Blah Blah. I was scared at first but I was thankful to God that he was with me. I think that guy was a mental... I got off one tram stop early so I had to walk up...... Then I waited at the corner of kfc then got a call from cath. Then I walked towards her... And she walked towards me... Then... Whatever... We went to north melbourne then to southern cross then went to dfo to look for some snack foods... Then we did some homework... Still frantic about the work but a further look at the sheet didn't make it look too bad =P then we headed off to camperwell to look for sofias and took forever to order XD boaz also took forever come though =P I think we ordered too much also... =.= but we managed to "ta pow" it home ^^ (which literally means wrap a dead body but it's been more often used to package food home... Hahas...) then we headed home... We were all really full but the train wasn't coming soon so we took our time. There wasn't a vline train until 9-ish and it was about 8.17 so we went around and did various stuff to kill time.... like have dessert… =P

Then we hopped onto the train and… did work XD cath nearly missed her stop but I thought we were stopping at north shore >.>

Day 16

I managed to sleep quite well considering I was sick... Sure I woke up a few times but I slept soon after I woke up =) I woke boaz up to send me to the station since mum wasn't feeling too well... Like me... Hehe... I took the 6.50 train at marshall and tried to sleep some more which I did manage to do... But only for a couple of minutes... There was someone on the train that sat in the middle of the aisle with one of those foldable chairs =P

the vline train was early again =D I saw the elevator coming down so I decided to take that. It was a bit slow though... But it was worth it since I didn't have to push myself to go up the stairs then run for the train which just arrived then XD Yes... I had to run... I reckon the trains were early today 'cos I hardly saw any school students on the way =P today was rather foggy in the morning. I could barely see the monash uni at caulfield until we stopped at that station... you don't get to see that everyday... Hehe... The trains were very early! I arrived at uni at about 8.30 XD I had too much time to spare but richard was on the same bus too... I bought a tube of anticol 'cos I needed it before my throat dies of... Germs... Hehe XD

we had the maths lecture first and... Well... Same as usual... =P then I had the algorithmics tute and it was boring... I din't think this tute class is very interactive... Lawrence initiated a conversation with jon... On facebook XD the tutor basically just went over the things the lecturer went over... Which I guess is his job =P I don't have an algorithmics tute next week which means I'd be going up just for a 1 hour lecture... Unless Sam C and I meet up =D I haven't seen her for nearly 1 year D: I also haven't seen nikki D for a while... =( I demand reunion! XD

I headed home afterwards and didn't feel like eating lunch... Since I had an anticol in my mouth... =.=" it's hard to chew something soft when there's something hard in your mouth you know? =P anyway, I took the 1.20-ish warnabool train... Alone... T.T lonely~ I am so lonely~ I have nobody~ for my own~ ahhhhhh~
