So today...forgetting that there are a number of things that I haven't mentioned about yesterday, not because they're criminally implicating, but rather due to the oddness...and perhaps twist of fate...I decline not to mention, we move on into today.
Got to the exam...more people there today than yesterday...and take a seat, nothing to peculiar to mention, other than my current rubber deficit, another item allowed in the exam. I didn't get to stop for one, and interestingly the only one I had was the small circular sphere found on your normal pencil and rubber, pencil. Interestingly overnight the rubber, had somehow removed itself from the pencil and I found it this morning when I tried to locate the pencil. Oddly enough it was more of a coincidence that I did find it...when I stopped for a brief "what's that on the floor"...it was the top half of the rubber, broken from the pencil. It now appeared nothing more than the size of a regular ecstasy tablet and similar in representation, in fact to tell the truth, when I first located it, it was more like "what's that tablet on the floor? "....
So to continue, it was put in a safe place, my front jean pocket, for no doubt I would need it when I didn't have it. When I arrived at the desk it was placed in the small pencil indent holder of the desk.
Now interesting to note, I was approached by a woman who asked me if I had my SATAC ID number, I did, however I might not have had...except for that twist of fate I mentioned occurring yesterday, and of course my photo license I.D. an item removed by the police, however returned.
I find it quite strange that she asked me this question...to a now, over cautious and wary mind. I can only mention it here. The exam commences and off we all go.
The paper, is very similar in structure to the test paper, so there were no real surprises. The complexity of the questions are quite constant throughout...
and the only thing one need be mindful of, is that they are swapping processing centers from a mathematical to science to English based division of mind functioning. I would suggest...for me...this is why by the end of the paper...one can feel as though they've just had their brain put through a blender.
I answered the paper in terms of my experience from the previous test paper. I managed to answer more questions this time...which does not necessarily mean I got more right..I would say..only time will tell. I answered them based on mathematical calculation of the information provided, and on my comprehension of information provided. Where I felt I couldn't provide a correct answer I moved on with the intention of coming back to the question again for further study later. Within the constraints of the test..I was unable to finish all questions however this might not be a determining factor of success.
With that said....the only interesting things to note...which some will say is either quite strange or crazy...others will perhaps derive a different opinion. About half way through the exam...I noticed a strange pulling sensation on my body...as though it was being drained by a psychic vampire. My chair was pushed back against the desk behind me, and that's where I felt the sensation coming from. As soon as I became aware of it, I pulled my desk chair in to break contact. I feel as though the sensation stopped, and now looking back can't really explain why the desk was so close to my chair, as I did not really notice any contact between other desks and chairs....however I am aware that in these testing arrangement's my poise can be quite close to the desk and paper.
Strangely enough I didn't get a glimpse of the individual's face other than to notice briefly a male quite large in appearance and bald...but not an old bald...more a shaven head with a light orange t-shirt. I though to myself I'll make a visual after the exam.
The exam finished and we all awaited announcement that we could leave the hall. There was a delay due to what I am led to believe was a "missing" paper.
This seems unbelievable because the process is...from back to front, the SATAC worker, walks down the line and places the papers, booklet and results on top of each other for each candidate from one to the next....from front to back of line.
so it would be "humanly impossible"...for one paper to jump two lines, as it appears was the case when the paper was found. Interesting to note the the line's involved was the line I was sitting in, and I believe a line two isle's over.
Now for another observation, the girl that sat to my right, had two faces, it's the second person I have see like this. Where one side of the face is considerably different to the other...including different eye color....so more than you're typical right side, left side differences....it made me somewhat nervous.
The only other observation, is this...when going through the questions....about 40 min's in probably I answered one, then thought..hmmm...I might change that answer and went to reach for the rubber I had on the desk. It was gone !
So what when through my mind, is basically this...well I don't get to change it. I checked for the rubber on the floor...it was nowhere in visible site.
I don't have any idea what happened to it...but these are my suggestions...
1. Maybe it was under the foot of someone in front of me...
2. Maybe it was knocked on the floor when the security were doing ID checks.
3. Or maybe it was a form of magic involving the removal of objects from one place to appearance in another. I forget the correct terminology for it right now, but have read of such things.
That's all I can say really...perhaps that is also what occurred with the missing paperwork.
When the exam concluded and we were allowed to leave our seat's I turned around to catch a glimpse of the person who sat behind me....he was no longer there. The conditions of the exam are that if you finish 20 min's before time you can leave the premises, about 5% of students had done this. I do not recall hearing this person leave, either I was engrossed or the metal chair did not make a sound on the cement floor. I'm not sure if the exam paper's are left on the table to be picked up at the end of the exam, my head was not focusing on that...but rather on the paper on my desk. This to me however, seems the only other likely time, when a paper may go missing from one place to another, however only someone sitting behind me would notice.
..at the moment, I feel some what observant, I see things slide up....I see things slide down..slowly and gently to rocking sounds.....
am I cautious... of course...you see yesterday when I sat in the wrong exam, at the commencement of the paper, while sitting, I wrote my Student ID number on top of the paper. ..I am slightly concerned about that....because my own security may have been breached by that falling into possession of another party...(these things are not unreasonable to mention, if you consider some possible outcomes of having the number.)
Some slight horror content...not mentioned....however ticking away. I think there was one other thing to mention..possibly along with the content of the paperwork..however..at the moment...evidence via both the test paperwork and the exam paperwork today...that experimentation through the higher education is a given...regardless of the risk.
Me...well I am still feeling totally drained.....although awake from a small sleep...I doubt I will do anything today...other than go back to bed...sleep...and think about work again on Tuesday ...today/tomorrow I'm having off.
Which reminds me of the other thing. You know when I got the paperwork for the SATAC exam, I checked the date on the calendar that's on the computer with the form held in front of me....and I tell you...I looked up the column...and the column date said SA (Saturday). so don't ask me how I got the date's confused, I could not tell you an answer...today, regarding questions that had columns where data was difficult to collate due to the setting out of the data, they were skipped to be returned too ...again...time made this difficult...I have no complaints I did what I could and would have done more..if time permitted...it did not. .
now I'm going back to bed.....sensory cells....awoken.

So today turned into a bit of a fiasco to say the least. I turned up to the exam, and there were a hell of a lot of people there....sat down...and waited for the thing to start. Interestingly I thought to myself....gee these people are young...although there were a couple of very sharp looking older people in the crowd....which actually looking back on the event...is kind of suspicious. ..but I might be wrong about that...
Anyway, go into the exam and was surprised to see someone I know standing on the door, although I knew this person had entered the education system, I wasn't aware of in what area she was working...and didn't really cross my mind till about 10 min's later. Anyway I sit down, and I'm looking at the paperwork, and it's like "that doesn't look like the exam I'm sitting"....and I started kind of freaking out...because it's like "I must be in the wrong room"...the paperwork's got something like "Community Health Services".....written up the top.....and I'm thinking what the hell is this? Anyway ...I put my arm up in the air, because it's like...shit if I don't get to the other room before 2:00, I can't sit the exam.
So I start waving my arm about....and they still took a long time to respond....and it was pretty hurried, because basically I'm thinking I've got to the the fuck out of here....or I'm going to miss my exam.
So I pick up all the paperwork, which by the way I'm already super pissed off about because I'm reading the questions and it's on Health...yet I know for a fact the woman I just spoke to's husband use to sell us drugs...and that really shit's me off...most likely because of the fucking Irony...not only that I know for a fact she has a particular health disease....that is quite incurable..not that I've read that much about it...but probably should have..
Anyway....so I get up...and vacate the premises...that fucking fast...because fact is I thought I needed to get to a different section of the Show Grounds...walk up to security and show him my paperwork and ask if this is the " Pavilion"....
Like I said it happened pretty fast...and sure I know I'm not meant to remove the SATAC paperwork for the exam I'm sitting, but I've got no idea about the paperwork that I'm holding....
Anyway, I think the security guard asked for it back and I said no....and left because I wanted to see how much total bullshit these kid's are being fed...I mean I'm seeing from the point of view......"the administrators staff's husband sell's drugs:"...that's how we fuck you up..which is why someone else on the other side of the family is getting funding to fix you up...so it was a totally "un cool" situation for me."...
Anyway as you can imagine next thing all shit breaks loose...and the security guards chasing me down...the drug wife's chasing me down...and I'm trying to get on a bus...and so is the Admin of Uni S.A.
So I'm waiting at the bus stop, in negative debate, saying why I don't have to give the paperwork back, which is basically because I've got it in my hands...
I sit down with the waiting passengers..and ask one of the guy's who he is..at first he said something like SATAC, next he say's SA Uni Admin.
Anyway the bus turns up and the security guard get's on and say's "I don't know..."...but he wouldn't let any passengers on the bus.
So we sit down and wait for the next one...because I'm fine with it, if they want to get the cop's involved...as far as I see it, I haven't done anything wrong....other than sit in on the wrong exam.....and be holding about three pieces of paper in my hand with a few questions on them.
Anyway, I ask the guy again where he was from and this time he say's Uni Adelaide Admin....but won't give me his name again, but I'm writting everything down, including the number of the bus...and the second bus turns up...and they let the passengers on...and at the same time the police turn up.
Of course the first thing they do, is have a go at me...kind of..."because obviously you know, I'm the person who's committed a major crime"...
Anyway, they start trying to grab the paperwork of me, the girl did anyway...they turned up in separate squad cars...which is kind of weird, because when she turned up...I'm thinking where's her partner...because I thought they had to have two present...the second turned up pretty much straight after that.
And she's trying to grab the paperwork and I'm feeling pretty fucking freaky....because what's with this fucking piece of paper that would make a police officer...first move to assault by pushing....at which stage I jumped up on the bus seat...because it's like "what the fuck is happening"...and then they kind of grabbed my arms...and had me in this double arm lock...
"and I'm thinking Kung Fu Master Jedi, I can't kill these people in a public place with the lights on, with the see-saw swing."....so I just stood there...and let them do what they had too..which was basically search all my pockets... and place all my gear on the ground.
Anyway...I told them my side of the story...I had at this stage secured a witness phone number from one of the passengers..which I did...at the stage when the S.A. Uni Administrator said something to the words.."you've already threatened one of our staff"...which basically again, I'm thinking this is another fucking set up.
Anyway ..I can't really recall...I think one of them walked away and a statement from the other party might have been taken...I told them I needed all paperwork however they refused to give the exam paperwork to me, and said they had grounds to take it..."which actually I don't know if it's the truth"..
because I also thought once you leave the ground of an exam, you can't go back in, fact is I didn't know it was the wrong exam, although once I was sitting in it...I wanted the paperwork...and that exam because they write the answers in booklets...well I believe they may be able to take the question air with them..howver I'm not sure.
So you know, I think that Police woman used excessive force ...I think shit flew off the handle...or the wrong reasons...I got shaken down...for being in the wrong exam...where I'll point out...there were a "fucking lot" of electronic devices...that supposedly aren't allowed in exams...and that's all I'm saying.
I've been told I'm not allowed on the premises for 24 hrs which means I can sit the exam tomorrow.
So that was my great attempt at going back to Uni today.

So just getting ready, had a good meal on an empty stomach from last night, downing a coffee...check out Mr Half Naked, sitting in a Church pew, talking to a few of the spirits that drift in and out...
pretty exhausted...didn't sleep a wink last night...so probably won't be going into it in peak form.....but I should be able to read the questions...
so that's about it...talk later.

Fact is..some of the answer I might be putting down tomorrow...won't be my answers....but answers that the machine will answer right....which might not be the way I think...but it's the way the person behind the end of the machine that asks these questions thinks.....

You want to know something interesting about the test ? Even though at the beginning when it say's something like in a body of text "your 'e knowledge of history is not being tested"...in the following question when I answered it according to the requirements based on the text in the poem, all answer's were wrong...and there is a definite pattern, which I've established from the questions. ..even though I "supposedly got it wrong"...which I dispute.

Haven't been wearing the new ring so much...mainly because the weather's been so warm...and that one is actually pretty hot and heavy to wear...its more a winter ring...it's kind of like Armour and keeps me warm.
