Since nothing really happened in my life recently to blog about, I thought I would just do a fun tag post so that people can get to know me better. I actually was planning on doing another post but it sort of fell through but maybe I will get back to that post when I have everything.
Onto the tag! Hope you learn something about me :)

Note: I had planned on posting this on Christmas but due to facebook not wanting to be my friend, uploading my photos did not occur until today. I pretty much spent all of today uploading photos so YAY for me. So excuse the post being posted on the wrong day and all
Merry Christmas to everyone! Today was probably the worst day for Christmas to occur on in Australia since it just rained all day even though it was boiling hot yesterday. Since I don't celebrate Christmas myself, I thought I would take today to finally add another post to my ever failing blog. I told myself that I would blog more this time but we can all see how well that has been going ...
Onto this post. I recently went to America and Canada with my family for a holiday. It will probably be a while before we have another one due to myself travelling with friends overseas for the immediate future. My parents saw the holiday as the last one before my siblings and I would all get our first boyfriends/girlfriend (but in my opinion, that won't be happening anytime soon LOL). During the trip, we visited New York, Boston, Toronto, Quebec, Montreal, Los Angeles and San Francisco. In each city, we pretty much did the touristy things such as the Statue of Liberty, Pier 34 (or was it 39?), Niagara Falls and the amusement parks in California. The things that I regret not seeing are Times Square at night and the Rockefeller Christmas Tree. Those two attractions were the things that I was most excited for too :( All in all, I had a good trip but was very tired by the end of it since my family went on tour and a lot of it was spent on a bus.
Get ready for a photo spam of the trip. YAYYY!

After the completion of my first year of uni, I have been able to reflect on the year that has passed so far. Though there is still a month to go until we welcome in 2013, the summer break has been filled with very little things that reflection is all I really do ...
2012 started out to quite exciting for me with my acceptance into my course and uni had only taken place and prospect of going uni quite exciting. It has always been the thought of my family that your life is pretty much primary school, high school, university, graduate school (if required) then go get a good and stable paying job. My brother is undertaking that path so I knew it was expected of me to go to uni but I wanted to go uni and further my education so that route was fine. When I told my parents what I wanted to do, my parents were initially against my chosen major especially for science (I'm currently undertaking a double degree). I knew that this path was what I wanted to do so I refused to budge and I told them that I would be responsible for anything that happened.
Once I started uni, my decision was set in stone. Going to the lectures, my interest in the area increased and I knew this is what I wanted to learn. Yes, my attention span in some of the lectures was limited due to the boring and monotoned lecturers but the information that I learnt intrigued me. Overall, I liked what I learnt in both semesters in both degrees.
However, I do have regrets about the year. I regret that I didn't join or participate more in uni groups/societies. By doing so, I could have exposed myself to more people and created more friendships during my first year of uni. I also regret that I was not more organised with my studies. Though I liked what I learnt, I didn't leave enough time to really study to fully maximise my marks. That will change for the next year ... I hope.
So all in all, this year was pretty good. For anyone who is about to enter uni, my advice is to pick something or subjects that interest you. If something interests you then you are more likely to pay attention to the information and be more willing to study and do well in it. Pick what you want to do and don't worry about others want you to do. I know this advice is said over and over again but it's good advice.
