Year 12 Class of 2013 Discussion Thread

My script looks more like Arabic than English...

Yeah. I think I can identity the sheets that you wrote right before the exam, then . It's easy enough to decipher though, because I just follow the flicks and kicks .



(seriously trying to synthesise your ideas is just not going to happen. I spent years of schooling doing the bare minimum, synthesising quickly/efficiently is like my biggest skill but THERE IS SO MUCH HERE)

 Hopefully the summary sheets help, though.

Hey, is anyone  else doing the "Live Below the Line" campaign?

I've got a friend doing it and they've managed to raise $270 which is great, considering I would probably bail out by the second day or something.

Wow. That's a lot. I haven't received a donation yet but I'm working on getting sponsors.

iii) omfg: YES!
iv) my own topic
v) re: i)

Can't believe I didn't think of iii)

Have you thought about sport on Free TV?
That was my topic in year 11 and I scored 15.5/20 and I am not the best of public speakers.
It's also very interesting.

Haha excellent! iii) was the one I was most inclined to do along with ii).

Just had parent teacher interviews. wow. wake up call to say the least.
Kinda sucked because we missed the interview for my best subject...

[FlorianK]

^^this year, where it would be the first time that the teachers from my school would say something positive about me, my parents didn't want to go :/

Don't know if this is the right place to post this but yeah:
Not feeling too great atm, have not dealt with the transition to year 12 too well. Been getting sac marks for all my subjects around or just above the class average and even got a friggin 35% for my spesh sac while everyone else did so well. Pissed at myself for becoming so complacent instead of continuing to work hard during the early part of this year. I'm trying to dig myself out of this hole, but my mindset is just so negative and its becoming difficult to be positive about school. Any advice would be nice?

I haven't been able to come here too often this week, and perhaps that's not a good thing. :/

Unfortunately, I'm currently in a period where SACs are being crammed in and moved around at the last minute by the staff and it's really thrown me off. I've essentially been forced to try and cram for all these SACs in a very short amount of time, with little success in terms of getting enough study done due to the other homework which needs to be completed to ensure I don't fall behind. I've been working from 4pm-11pm most nights with only a one hour break and I'm starting to feel it take its toll on my body. I woke up this morning not feeling the best and I really can't afford to get sick - I need a break, but I can't when there's so much to do. I'm barely keeping my head above the water. I'm hoping that this intense period will settle after the next couple of weeks, but it will be difficult to survive in the mean time.

That being said, nothing terrible has happened just yet - I'm just way out of my comfort zone at the moment and I'm trying to ensure that nothing bad does end up happening.

How has your Term 2 gone so far?
