Crap! I feel really shitty. There are stupid assignments due, all of which are extremely stupid. The lecturers are stupid, they teach jack shit and say to us, 'The assignment is really straight forward, so self explanatory, so I'm not going to talk about this next thing.' The truth is nobody has any idea what the hell is going on, bloody ridiculous.
At 9am on Monday, I went to a job interview. On Friday I received an email informing me that I was unsuccessful in qualifying for the next round. Monday included some numerical tests and a short interview. There were four tests, all were non-calculator, and three were no working out either, all you could do was write down the answer. I found the spatial one easiest. That one we had to choose a picture on the right which corresponds to the one on the left by rotating. That, we had seven minutes, to do fifty! I managed about forty. A simple analytic test was again seven minutes, but twenty-six questions. That was multiple choice so it's not bad, it started off with stuff like 'if John has $4 and Bob has four times as much, how much has he got?', something simple. I did twenty or so. The last two tests were really crappy. There was a number series test. A lot of the 'series' looked like random numbers to be. Some were just absolutely ridiculous. There were sometimes fractions involved and they would be simplified, and in other questions the numerator and the denominator were just two completely separate series, it was so stupid. In an example question up front they had the following: 1 5 10 20 30 __. Can you work out the blank?? The answer was 40, and their reason was, the numbers increase by 10 from the third term onwards. That is so retarded, I hated that 'test'. The last was complex analysis, that was a killer. Forty questions in forty minutes, no working out, nothing but the answer that you are allowed to write down. It was pure calculations, nothing like that John and Bob thing. One question was 4.25% * 60 * 1/4. That was one of the easy one already, another example is (22.50 - 5.70) * 67. I left that one out, just could not do it. There were questions worse than that.
Since my parents have been back from their overseas trip, my mood hasn't been that upbeat. There's never a sense of harmony in this place. Everything said and done seems like it's out of anger or frustration. We don't talk, we don't spend time with each other. The only time when all four of us are together is at dinner time, but then it's just the TV that we hear. After that, mum's straight off to the computer doing crossword puzzles and sudoku puzzles. That's all she does all day. In front of the computer, from the moment she wakes up til she sleeps. Dad doesn't do too much, except talk to 'himself' about mum's addiction to the computer, while I'm there to hear take it all. My brother does the plants, laundry is his duty, even though mum does it half of the time. There's just clothes lying on the couch all the time. We have enough room to seat six but the clothes always take two. When mum does the laundry she would complain why she has to do all the housework even though that is not true. When I forget to do something or does not have the time, I always have to catch up somehow, while my brother gets to get away with them. This morning when I went downstairs after I got up, I noticed there wasn't much movement in the fishtank. All of them died overnight. I have no idea why. Apparently my brother said while I was out last night, the fish looked sick, and now this morning they were all dead, they must have gotten the bird flu or something.
Everything around here is so miserable. I am confined to my room most of the time. There's not much there that I want to do. Even when I'm in my room now I find it hard to keep myself occupied sometimes. Again, I want to move out so badly. Just the freedom that I have, everything under my control, that's what I want, not stupid orders to do things.
Yikes, it's nearly three in the afternoon, I better make a start on my attempt at the assignments, sigh....
