Dunners
On monday at 12:30 i left for Dunedin to see the university. Unfortuently for me going on the trip meant that i couldn't sit my Japanese speech that i had spent so much time on and so i automatically failed that assessment. But the trip was more important, I needed to find out what i was going to do with my future. Whether i would end up down in Otago studying Pharmacy or if i was to stay and study at Canterbury. And if i went down to Otago i needed to get an idea on the Halls of Residence and compare them to the option of boarding with someone from either Caversham Baptist or Caversham Community (as i know people in both churches). This is the idea i got;
I liked the university in general. The people from my school that have decided to go down to Otago are the friends i am closest to in school, and some of the ones i wanna hang around with when i leave school. The Halls actually are very enticing and seem to be great places to live as they cater for practically everything as well as being close to the university (closer than my house is to Canterbury anyway). I bused to Caversham, and though the bus drivers both on the way there and back were, well, over-casual (which seemed to resonate everywhere in Dunedin), it only took about 15minutes to bus there from the university. The friends i have in Dunedin are good people and it would be really sweet to get to know them all better. The Pharmacy course itself looked really good. Because of the casualness (i almost wrote casualty) of the city i won't actually have to spend the whole year down in Dunedin, i'll be back up to Opawa a fair bit. Basically i see Otago as the best option and it was worth going down to.
Now i just have to make the grades.
Classics doesn't look so good at the moment as i neglected it to spend time on my Japanese Speech. I have until friday to finish the whole assignment (research and essay), and i have 'till the same date for my Biology assignment research check. These are the reasons i've been on the computer a lot less as of late, i just haven't had anytime to do anything. What's more i haven't actually got much of my work done on anything except Japanese (which now i've got a Failed-To-Sit next to the grade mark anyhow). My life has been very stressful lately.

im interested to know more about you being interested in pharmacy
how'd you get interested in it and why?
It's a good question. I don't really know the answer, i always liked science as soon as i started school, especially the practical part. Thinking back, i remember in year 6 when i got to be in a class where the teacher was interested in science and technology and had other year 5 and 6 classes go to his room once a week or so and learn about science and technology. I was rapped that i had this teacher. But i guess now i like it because for a start i'm a guy and i like the thought of mixing things together to make big explosions, and secondly because i seem to do reasonably good in chemistry at school.
Why did i get interested in it? Well that is probably due to my dad telling me one day that if i read the Guiness Book of Science on our bookcase then i would know more than the teachers at school. That's very appealing to a 10 year old whose mind is full of dreams and ambitions. (i haven't read the book, just little bits of it)
Sounds like a worthwhile trip for you. Although from a purely selfish point of view can I still say "DON'T GO"!!!!
I hope you get all your assignments done. Keep at it. Only 7 weeks til holidays! ;) Not that I'm counting or anything...
WHEW...Sounds like you're either in private school, or the public education is MUCH better in NZ than in USA (go figure).
Whatever you do, keep pushing toward your goal, and I'm sure you'll be a college grad in no time.
Probably at the top of your class, if you continue to be as unstoppable as you already seem.
I'm impressed with your site, very nice graphics!
