Nice work with it.

Is another countdown going to replace it after the 17th? ;D

I assume there will be a Offers day countdown, and then it will probably disappear until exam period for VCE 2008 is over :)

I think it should be integrated into the theme of FSN more nicely, because the blue background and white text is ugly, haha.

Yeah, heh. It should be placed in a non-intrusive place (sort of like now) so that nina doesn't complain about her "freedom not to know about it."

That's what I said... I thought it would be better right under "Total time logged in", but enwiabe preferred it at the top like that :P
If it was in that box, you could hide it via the little (http://freestudynotes.com/VCEforum/Themes/default/images/upshrink.gif) button :P

LOL!

I doubt I'll be nervous until the moment I wake up and go to turn on the computer...

Yeah, I'm pretty insensitive to all that stuff, but when I was actually on, and the moment my VTAC results page loaded, everything felt like it was moving so slow. My mind was thinking so fast: I was looking all around the page for my ENTER. First I saw my aggregate: 193.3. Remembering 194ish was the cut-off for 99 in 2005, I knew I was close to my goal. I fit in so many thoughts in what was probably only 2 seconds, and then I located my ENTER: 98.95.

It was a sudden relief, then a feeling of mockery (aim of 99), but overall I was content. In late December, or early January (can't remember, but it was after my change of preferences week), I got a letter about the fix to my Methods score, and I ended up with 99.00 anyway, LOL. Perfect ;)

In true Nina fashion.

Use Firefox. Download NoScript. It blocks the script and means you can't see it (well, I can't, and I'll live in bliss until I wake up and my mobile beeps the death knell).

P.S. It's only death if its <95. Which it better not be.

Lol, 98.95... I'd be so happy and pissed off @ the same time. I did methods last year, but apparently mine didn't get marked wrong XD
