~ A R G H . . . !

had lunch today @ suntec in Surf and Turf again, but with Eileen & Paul too.. then went for Yami Yogurt & Eileen went for Subway. Drank a little beer to accompany Paul.. hehe.. then headed to sch for the career sem..

the career sem was not too bad i guess. one speaker for organizational psych din turn up. had talks from educational, clinical, forensic & neuro-clinical psychologists. was onli interested in clinical and of course forensic. =P so here with a Masters can practice psych, follow the aussie system.. PhD is more for research.. unlike in the US, need PhD/PsyD to be able to practice.. aniwae, that's my aim.. hopefully can go US and study.. *prays* for forensic, the speaker - Jansen Ang - was from the police force.. but basically wad he said i've more or less heard from Dr Ken already.. onli that maybe Jansen dealt with more stuff? he played a role in various disasters like 'famous' plane crashes, SARS crisis, nicoll highway collapse and the recent tsunami disaster.. in addition to providing counselling to the officers, selection process, etc etc. and in his dept there's onli 12 psychologists to serve the hundreds of police officers, and of which 10 are females.. hehe.. Jansen really reminds me of Dr Ken.. *grin* the humor for one, and also cos i've already heard what he was presenting. he too said one exact line Dr Ken said: "aiyo, you so poor thing", and he said with similar facial expression and tone.. *LAUGHS HISTERICALLY* =P i miss Dr Ken's stories.. and ~YAY! that he'll be taking us for forensic lect.. ^_^

got back marks/grades for lit review & the presentation for health psych too.. ~WTF?! lit review got a a bloody Pass, worst is that i've been told that i was like the 1st to be marked, so there's ALOT of corrections.. then cos if she, the tutor, mark the way for everyone as she did for me, there wud not be enuff time to finish marking.. so wad? ppl at the back haf less corrections and more marks?! and it gets better, i'm just one miserable, pathetic, lousy mark away from getting a Credit. !@#$%^&* presentation got a Credit, and also one stupid, miserable mark from getting a Distinction. WHAT THE ****?! hate the feeling of being so near and yet so far.. i am pissed. fuming. damn thing. work so hard for wad? just to get a bloody Pass grade? another thing is that different tutors have slightly different styles/formats for the APA format. so pls tell me who to follow? ARGH! i still feel a self-induced headache coming the more i think abt it. pls, give me at least a CREDIT for the overall. PLEASE, DEAR GOD.. pls let me do well for stats and B&B too.. pls.. before i kill myself or something. I HATE HEALTH PSYCH. stupid. dumb. *BAH*

am going to read, no point fuming over it anymore. but feel slightly better letting my frustration out..? HAIZ. looking forward to get Angels & Demons illustrated edition.. i love books.. dunno wad i'd do without them.. *hugs current book: Michael Connelly's The Poet*
