A brief update

- I am currently waiting for my examination results after which I will graduate given that there are no 'shock' results.

- I have already started exposing myself to the laboratories that I may be using next year for my research degree. I feel like I have so much to learn. It's like starting from square one again. Sometimes, it does feel overwhelming but I have to remind myself that I've not even (officially) graduated from my undergraduate studies and that I am actually learning 3 months ahead of the planned commencement of my next course.

- Funny how so many immigrants in Australia who have the command of English equal to that of a brick, no intention to assimilate and no real loyalty and skill are given residency yet highly skilled, young workers who speak at least decent English and want to contribute to Australia are shunned.

- The first world's gone mad with so many 'Occupy' and worker's union movements going on these days. They need to be thrown into less fortunate countries to see how hard people work to survive and how little they complain (if at all). This is what happens when you overprotect your citizens. They become sheltered and forget that it's actually normal to work hard for money.

- Dragon Age: Origins is quite the bomb. I haven't been addicted to a game quite as intensely since FFXIII.

- I am most likely quitting my part-time job next year. My research course is likely to be very demanding: full-time work in the weekdays and probably even some work on Saturdays. They've offered me a casual position but I'll have to see.

- December will be very 'full-on' for me. I've got friends and family to entertain and my own graduation (God-willing) to attend. I also have slightly more work shifts in the pharmacy and will also volunteer to work more in the lab on days I'm not working in the pharmacy.

- More to come next time.
