Attack of the NERDS

hehe yes Gaston, I'm a nerd. I admit it. I AM a NERD! I did 4 unit MATHS!
So yeah, the big question... where to from here?
All my life, I've been looking forward to uni life - to be grown up and to be independent. Somehow, getting where you used to want to be makes you want to go back to when you were young (I was going to say small.... but all you people out there will say "But you ARE still small, Carina!). All throughout the HSC year, I was wishing I could go back to kindergarten where all I had to worry about was playing in the pool and wearing new dresses, or having barbies and teddies to play with.

Initially, I wanted to be a doctor - I guess that inspiration came from the time I saw my dad sick in hospital and nurses attended to him 24 hrs a day. He had stomach cancer when I was about three. So from there, I wanted to be a nurse - until mum told me that girls could be doctors too :) hehe I was so naive and lived in such a sexist world... but that's another story.
So yeah, from there... I've always wanted to be a doctor with lots of encouragement from my purely asian mum and relos :P That was until I hit this year and had to face the decision of getting into Med - fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you want to look at it, the UMAT decided for me. Scores were horrible esp with the logical reasoning. hehe... i knew i sucked anyway, it was a stupid test and not one that was going to determine whether you'd be a 'good' doctor or not.

And so, until my UAI came out, I was confident that I'd be in Optometry for 2006 until I realised that the UAI cut off last year was 98.3 and mine this year was only 98.2 It'll probably go up a little higher and that would totally suck because now, I have no idea what to do :( It seems that I did excellent but apparently not good enough in comparison to everyone else *sigh

So, seriously, any suggestions?
Logging off for now...

PS The bus delays yesterday were due to the closure of the M5 - ARGHHH!!

PSS I really pissed off a customer at DJs today. hehe... her sandwich was partially burnt (I'm in charge of food) and I kind of walked off after she complained (I offered to make her another one and she just said "ohh well.. we've already waited so long". Why complain when you're not going to get anything out of it?!!!!! Stupid customers). She then tried to complain again to one of my friends whom she thought held a higher position than me - unfortunately, he didnt and he didn't really care. funny thing is.. it was like his 5th day there or something :)
