LOL SNAKE ORGY. SO TRUE LOL

Going to Nossal High School, I've been often categorised into what they call a 'MacRob reject'.

Shit you serious? Oh man...the lengths people go to...

People say that all the time haha, but believe me, there's no malice in it :P Just like MHS/Mac.Rob "racism", all in good fun :D

Yes, but it's just like how people make fun of Arts degrees, it might be funny and no harm might be meant, but its hypocritical to say this is OK but bagging Arts degrees isn't. They're both equally bad and can both be hurtful.

Yeah, which is why you multiply those comments by zero and move on.

I didn't say it was right (and I'm not going to), I'm just saying it doesn't have a malicious intent.

It's just a joke, no harm in it :) But I'm sure people are sceptical - but who wouldn't be?
I'm really curious as to how we'll do this year considering we'll have done a fair amount of 3/4s (almost every student doing 2 3/4s)...

And nice.. Name... Hmm LOL

Dont. Blame. Me. I. Did. Not. Come. Up. With. Said. Name.

*looks at ninwa*

Given it was ninwa who made the name change, you can clearly see what is in the depths of her mind on a daily basis. JKS.

Yes, your Majesty.

I'm simply doubting your aim in keeping this thread on topic, that's all.

seriously though

@youshine, even if you don't get an ATAR for law straight away there are about a billion ways of getting in through other methods that will not disadvantage you in the slightest. So don't worry about it. Something I wish more teachers would tell VCE students is that an ATAR is only one of many, many different ways of getting into the course you desire.

I am aware of that but I feel like I do have the time now to work hard and perhaps do my future self a favour, so why not? :P I've still been keeping up with sports, music and my social life (and the internet LOL) with heaps of time to work so I think I'll have a go first before contemplating other options ^^"

And I think I'm leaning towards Melbourne anyway, so that's less of an ATAR problem and more of a maintaining my average whilst at uni problem haha. And then that LSAT -.-

wow! I if I had the chance, I would easily go to Nossal rather than MHS!

The buildings are all new and probably smell nice.

haha critics are all around us, they are usually those people who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have been given to change it. 

Believe in yourself. You are the only person who has the ability to predict your ATAR by preparing for it today.Express yourself.  Don't allow your own self-doubt, fear, and the negative opinions of others to stifle your gifts. Express yourself!

Sometimes people may try to shut you down, but they have no idea who they're messing with!! KEEP MOVING! VCE will test you to see how serious and determined you are.  You have to fake a smile when you want to cry...but keep moving forward!! When your back is up against the wall..lean into it, and stand tall. Keep moving...even if you fall. Crawl if you must ~ look up, but keep moving forward! Every dream comes with a test, and demands of you to bring out your best. Believe in yourself, unleash your power, and KEEP MOVING FORWARD!!

Good luck  8)
