Undignified but Mandatory Antispasmodic Tablet

Just got back from UTS and finished UMAT. While I can't definately say that I felt bad or good, I did feel anguished, annoyed and apathetic. The first two sections went rather well. I got most of the answers, though I felt that I did better in the 2nd section, that is the 'understand-what-the-bastards-are-feeling' section, than the 1st, that is the 'damn-I-don't-see-any-logical-answer-and-I-want-calculator' section. The 3rd section was the worst for me. It seems that my non-verbal skills are not so good. Like I said before, I want to ask the creators an explantion for the order/solution, then punch them in the face. So I guessed the most of the questions, using my own twisted logic.

What the hell? What comes next?
There's no pattern at all!
Hey, since that triangle rotates 90 degrees...
....then so must everything else!
Done! Now next question...

That was more or less how it went. So how did other people do? Bad? Good? Aced? Failed?

You know when you see someone, then like later on in the day you're like hey I know so and so, they were from so and so! but its way too late and they're already somewhere and you're already home? I think, 95% sure, that I saw two old classmates from primary. It just didn't hit me until now that I'm home. So if anyone knows a Henry(guy) or Tian(girl) that used to go to Blaxcell Street Primary and knew a Steven Nguyen, tell them I would have said hello, if my mental gears shifted up a but quicker.

Supposedly, Raymond L and Tan were also going to UTS for UMAT, but I didn't see them. Maybe they were at the back of the line and since I was at the front, we missed each other. It was hella lonely when you're there and you don't know or recognise anyone else.

Now I have to burn the new Doctor Who series for Phuong. Hopefully, she'll get distracted by it and I have a better chance to doing better in the trials. And English speech, yeah, better finalise that tonight and type it up tomorrow so its ready for to submit and so I can get some practice.

all i can say is, lol! sounds like a reasonable method... ^^

"It was hella lonely when you're there and you don't know or recognise anyone else."

i know exactly what you mean. i was basically standing in a line, shuffling forward every minute or so, for an hour and a half without talking to anybody i knew. actually, i didn't talk to anyone for a total of 4 hours. that is so incredibly hard to do, lol.

did anyone come late at UTS?
some people came late and weren't allowed to get in. i think they tried to smash the door down or something. lots of screaming. and crying.

very distracting.

Nah, everyone was on time for us, admin took around half and hour, 15 mins of doing nothing while other people file it and then 15 mins of rules before start. And yeah there was no one i could talk to. I got to the center at 7:30 and I got home at 1pm and never did I talk to another person, except fo few moments to confirm ID.
