SP

Biomedical Science (medical technology option)

Things that caught my eye:

• Immunology
• Microbiology
• Genetics & Molecular Biology
• Pathology (basic)

The advantages:

• Subsequently go into the medical sector.
• Isn't pathology the science used to figure out why a person died?
• Genetics & Molecular Biology. 'nuff said. Love genes.

The disadvantages:

• Maths. A & B (whatever they are).
• It's science. Science = memorizing all the scientific terms that laymen wouldn't be bothered with (cardiac arrest? Why can't you just say heart attack?).

Applied Drama & Psychology (why in the world must drama be included?)

Things that caught my eye:

• Introduction to Voice
• Fundamental Behavioural Statistics
• Introduction to Psychology/Social/Educational/Health Psychology
• Counselling Approaches & Processes
• Negotiation & Conflict Resolution
• FUNDAMENTALS OF ACCOUNTING (LOL WUT?!)

The advantages:

• Psychology!
• Not as content-heavy as biomedical sci.

The disadvantages:

• This one focuses more on planning programmes for people with issues; it's more on the drama side than the psychology one.
• Final year project is to plan such a programme (not interested).
• Later half of the final year focuses on business management & accounting skills. (WTF)
• POA... again?!
• Very society-based. Psychology's just a side-subject, that kinda thing.

Infocomm Security Management

Things that caught my eye:

• Database Management Systems
• IT Security Essentials
• Cryptography
• Server Applications Development
• Computer Law and Investigation
• COMPUTER FORENSICS (ahhhhh!)

The advantages:

• IT. I never tire of that.
• COMPUTER FORENSICS.

The disadvantages:

• Job as IT analysts, IT auditors or Security or system administrators (are those well-paid jobs?).
• Too technical for me, perhaps?

NP

Biomedical Science
Man, I'm lazy to compare this. Apparently there is a new forensic science module to be implemented next year.

Psychology & Community Services

Things that caught my eye:

• Psychology & all its counterparts.
• Sociology
• Fundamentals of Crisis Intervention
• Intro to Psychometrics, Assessment & Ethics
• Behaviour in Organizations
• Life Management Skills

The advantages:

• Unlike SP's, this focuses more on psychology & its counterparts. CS is a side-subject.

The disadvantages:

• Community... services... *goes to sleep*

More to come laterrrr. I might just opt for the JC route if I can't set my heart and mind on any of the courses. Good grief...

AJJ found Dragon Age to be too complicated a game. And so, it's fallen into my hands! *cheers* Though, of course, if he, being an expert gamer (imo), finds it complicated... I'm likely to die trying to grasp the mechanics of DA. Lol. As of now I am desperately trying to decide between the rogue class, the stealth/backstab type (how appealing), and the mage class, my natural inclination and love.

From the looks of the manual, offensive magic can only be wielded by mages (the natural limitation of most games, anyway) so I'm tempted to play mage for the sake of having AoE-ONE-HIT-KO-ALL-YOU-MISERABLE-SCUMS-kinda spellcasting in the higher levels. Ahaha... violence, when tainted with magic, is almost beautiful to behold.

Nay, messy hack'n'slash (warrior/tanker style) sends blood flying everywhere and bodies falling. Gross. Yuck. Gore. With magic, there may not even be a body to look at, and as long as it ain't necromancy or blood magic, or whatever floats your boat, the enemy's not likely to shed a single drop of blood.

Then and again, mages suck at spellcasting time and delays. Rogues deal blows fast enough to avoid the wrath of their impatient creator, so... *sighs* Guess I'll create both, play one through with a certain set of decisions, get a certain ending, and then play the other one with a totally different set of decisions. What's most important is the race. Both are gonna be elves; dwarves and I have hated each other since we first set sight on the other, and humans are... boring. Lol.

DA ramblings aside, has anyone ever wondered why the news doesn't report durians falling on people's heads? M did, and none of us had any idea. That was a couple of months back.

An apple conked off Issac Newton's head and gave birth to the whatever three laws thingy. I suppose mangoes, oranges, pears and whatnot have also had their times of dropping on someone's head. Even bird egestions do, if you're really unlucky.

Then and again, durians would likely kill whoever they fell on. That spiky and heavy fruit would be a rather powerful weapon, especially when imbued with the forces of gravity. Darn, the skull wouldn't take that kind of torture. Lol.

So, maybe that's why durians don't fall on people. Because the person would die, I guess. Is that why durians are often hailed as the "king of fruits"? Because they seemingly have eyes at the bottom to make sure they hit nothing but soft soil? Then why is mangosteen considered his wife (Queen of the fruits)? Lol.

Of course, the other possbility is... it just hasn't happened. Yet. The laws of probability are unpredictable. Perhaps it just hasn't happened... and someday, it might. Then the world of durian lovers (me included) would cry in horror at the thought of their beloved fruit having a bounty on its head...

... Bah, I'm being random. Haha.

IT'S OVERRRRRRRR.

Ahhhhhh.

I never thought I'd live to see this day, lol.

How many torturous centuries I've waited just for this day to come! /ends exaggerations

And now... woohoo! *does a little Prinny dance*

Someday, this main blog will be gone. It'll be merged with the other one. Someday. Until then, I shall update this. :)

Alex - Oyos! XD

EDIT: DRAGON AGE ORIGINS. *dies while waiting to play it* LOL. Ahhhhhh. *sits in one corner and emos* Exams end tomorrow but I don't have a medieval, dark, fantasy RPG to look forward to on the computer... lol, that's just too sad. :(

----------
Wuthering Heights is amazing. Never mind the ways in which the text can be interpreted; the story itself is amazingly dark (I don't think I can be bothered to delve into interpretation, though, it's nice to read it as it is. But I wonder what really drove Heathcliff to his death. Was it really Cathy, or did he just imagine that it was her?).

Anyway, to quote Cathy: "I've dreamed in my life dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they've gone through and through me like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind."

I agreed with the editor's opinion. That WH is one of these dreams, that is. Lol.

And, who can forget Heathcliff's dramatic, intense words?

"May she wake in torment!" he cried, with frightful vehemence, stamping his foot, and groaning in a sudden paroxysm of ungovernable passion. "Why, she's a liar to the end! Where is she? Not there - not in heaven, but perished - where? Oh! you said you cared nothing for my sufferings! And I pray one prayer - I repeat it till my tongue stiffens - Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living; you said I killed you - haunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers, I believe. I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always - take any form - drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!"

I swear my heartbeat quickened when I read that. Really. Lol.

One more day. And then I can get my hands on Persona & start striking things out from that super-long to-do list a while back. Woohoo! :D

CF - Thanks; I appreciate it! :D I'd get down to trying if the
computer would just load the chatbox properly and all... >_>" Try again
later. XD

For someone who has yet to finish "that", I'm doing far too much nonsense. Then and again, the notion of a 'one-hour paper' and 'MCQ' generally scream the same thing: NO NEED TO MUG. Just read. If perhaps they changed it to some other... well, something much more terrifying than merely 'MCQ' and the notion that comes with it, I might be more inclined to keep mugging.

Unfortunately, as luck would have it, I can't be bothered to do anything beyond practising a little of the huge stack of MCQs graciously handed to us; it's too boring. Too depressing. Lol.

Then there's the issue of waiting. Maple is a poor substitute for Dragon Age Origins (lol), though it helps when I want to pass time. Trying to kill Axe Stumps with a pathetic lv13 Magician (no thanks to his request I play Bootes, a server I've never touched - I'm still waiting for my MONEH!) is quite the killjoy, I must say.

Then and again, my miserable lv32 F/P Wizard (she's been stuck at 98.68% for years, mind you!) in Aquila isn't very well off either. I can't remember, for the life of me, what I intended to do and what quests I'd done halfway (had too many in progress quests), and walking around Ludibrium trying to recall this and that (remembered silly moments with peipei though) was purely a waste of time.

The most beautiful thing was that I'd totally forgotten the email I used to register for that account, which means I can't access my passport at all since it was deactivated for repeated password tries in the past. And the damnable 13-digit passport code, which I need right now, for deleting and transferring purposes? Forgotten, too. Lol. That kinda ticked me off; I was wondering if I could possibly transfer items from server to server (my dear ol' wizard has quite a lovely collection of interesting equipment and weapons).

So, *sighs*, it's never a good idea to not record down usernames and passwords like I do... the brain is a poor substitute for the good old pen and notepad. Of course, if you lose the notepad, it's as good as storing it in the brain for three years or more. I lament my long-term memory. Lol. If I could just recall which of the thousands of email accounts I had (that doesn't help!) I'd been using at that point in time, I'd be able to activate the account of my main in both sAU and Maple. *sighs again*

Oh well. I've always wanted to go back to FlyFF, but I can't remember my username and password either (only, irritatingly, my character IGN). Worst comes to worst, I'll just use the new account I created... though it's a waste; she was one of my highest-leveled characters ever... =/
