tearing my hair out!!
offers came out on the 9th. and till today i still haven't gotten the monah uni package. in a way, that's good. know why? cos they offered me PHARMACY.
so, everyone in the world knows that i want to do MEDICINE. and when i got my ENTER, i was worried but people kept telling me that i would most probably get it because they know so-and-so who got lower than i did and got into med. but do you people see?? there was actually a freaking reason why i was actually WORRIED!!! after all those false hopes given, i tried to believe.
however, the day came to check my offer and PHARMACY was what i got. so how are you people gonna compensate huh?!! and you know what?! recently, i've found out 2 very irritating, blood-boiling, just-damn-annoying news.
1. the government has taken a certain number of international placements for med from australian unisdoes the government have any idea how few the placements are for medicine? do they know that it's not ONLY malaysians who are fighting for those spots? but of course, being THE GOVERNMENT, they would have known that already. however, they choose to overlook us, hard working non malay people who strive to fulfil our life purpose of becoming a doctor, and be generous to those "underprivileged" malays. i do apologise to those malays who ARE actually underpriviliged and are passionate about medicine. so with a fraction of international placements taken, we who are not deemed to be in whatever category the government says have to slaughter each other for placements.
2. those who do foundation courses of unis such as monash and melb can enter into med at way lower ENTER than what is required.ok, that would be a common fact right? and apparently they lower the ENTER required for international students. so with my ENTER, i should get a placement for med. A friend of a friend of my mum has a son who did monash foundation. He got 95 and got into med whereas silly ol me who has been wasting 2 years of her life doing VCE and got a higher ENTER than he didn't get into med. not even monash. how unfair is that? hello? don't all unis want high achievers? i may not be that high of an achiever but hey, i'm not that bad either.
so yea, after talking to francis while writing this, i feel tonnes better. my humour even came back although the headache's still there. yes, i'm getting headaches because i lack sleep due to this thing (i don't even think it's a problem). so to all you out there who reads this, please pray for me ok. FERVENTLY, please. i would really appreciate it. i need direction at this moment.
after this drama ends (hope it has a good-ending), and when i reminisce my story to some poor soul out there who is facing the same problem as i am, i will be feeling grateful that i'm not in his/her shoes at that moment. *grins* till next time, god bless all those who will be receiving offers tomorrow. may my pain never be yours.
