Compass Heading: New South

Let's make this clear. I have no intention of going to UNSW. This is of course assuming all goes to plan with the HSC and whatnot, but my aim is for USyd. Still it was interesting at the open day. I met Charles and Ray L at Central at 8:30am, and we journeyed to UNSW. Some freebies later, we journeyed to the Medicine lecture, which was quite packed. I have no intention of doing Medicine, but the stuff you learn is eye opening. A UAI of 99.4 is considered below average for Medicine at UNSW. Below average. Some guy did make it in with a UAI of 95, but that was a fluke in a sense. And it takes minimum of 10 years to finish all your training. Damn.

Since I didn't have any real timetable for UNSW I mainly hung around Charles and Ray attending their lectures, mainly on engineering. UNSW is pretty big and quite pleasing to look at compared to USyd. So lets see who I saw or thought I saw.

• Charles
• Ray L
• Ray D
• Kevin T
• Kevin N
• Land
• Phuong
• Julia
• Jimmy
• Yiling
• Yang
• David V
• Andrew
• Kathy
• Ann
• Jennifer
• Jack
• Lesley
• Angeline
• Gough
  

That's pretty much it. From anecdotal evidence, it seems a whole bunch more Seftoners came along, but I missed all of them. Anyway at 1:30pm, Charles and I left to meet Jack and Lesley at the Roundhouse. Our plan was to journey to Croydon, get Jack to drive us to Burwood and meet up with other Seftoners at City Hunter, a net cafe. Charles eventually left at Central, saying it was too late and Jack, Lesley and I made the trip. We joined up with a whole bunch of other Seftoners and started to play Battlefield 2. My team won the first game, but lost the second in a closely-contested match. In one instance, Jack and Lesley stormed a small island where the artillery cannons were located. Their intent was to knock them offline so their team wouldn't have to suffer the deadly barrages. Except I was sitting in between them, heard about it and got there first. I held them off for a while, but it was 2v1. They left and I just repaired the artillery. Jack and Lesley make a great team, especially when they both are driving tanks.

Initially I was going to play for an hour or so, but the second match took longer than expected and altogether I played 2 hours. I had told my parents that I was to be back at 4:30pm give or take 30mins. Since I finished at like 5pm, I called and made up a story that the train was delayed and whatnot. So I got home close to 5:45pm. They didn't seem to mind (Cityrail problems, yeah!). There was a BBQ on, but most of the guests had left. Some people remained and as I chomped on leftovers, washing it down with Pepsi, I regaled them to the stuff at UNSW, and the new facts in Medicine. Day over!

I'm quite sure that everyone else had a great day at UNSW, whether they plan to go or not. And I'd like to not that yesterday marked one year of blogging. As I read back, some things have changed quite a lot. And some haven't.

Skit is finished and now its about learning the lines and doing a quick dry run so we're ready for the rehearsals. Here I have to give some credit to Jack, for actually being one-step ahead, and thinking about rehersals and stuff. Kudos to you, Jack.

Shit. Now I actually to have to organise some stuff for skit. I hate doing things. I like deadlines though. I love the whoosing sound they make as the fly right by....
