Hey Isaac...
When I got my marks I was pretty happy, and that's mainly because I was completely euphoric about a few grades and kind of just ignored the not so good ones. When I got my ATAR I went into a little ditch in the world I didn't know existed. I realise now it's completely dramatic and crazy because I did so well, but in that moment so much built up and then it was turned into a 4 digit number and it was very underwhelming but also overwhelming. I cried for two hours and honestly thought "I can never face day again." My dad knocked on my door three times trying to help but for those hours I was completely inconsolable. The worst part is that I felt like I couldn't tell anyone because everyone would be stoked to have my marks. I understand disappointment, it's just about finding the successes now and celebrating them. I was definitely rooting for you to absolutely smash English Advanced, you showed enormous improvement and determination and you deserve the most wonderful of marks. 91 is absolutely no small achievement, I hope that with time you can feel the pride I have for you in yourself... Just know that whatever you feel right now is completely legitimate, even if you think it's potentially invalidated by people feeling a lot worse than you about grades that are a lot lower than yours. What you feel is real, and I'm happy to assure you that you should and will feel immensely proud, even if not right now
Isaac - fair enough man. While those results are objectively fantastic, everyone runs their own race. The two of you (directed towards suddods too) have made such a good contribution to this community so I do want to express my gratitude for that.
Isaac- you're entitled to your disappointment mate and we're here if you need us.
But otherwise. HSCYAMOTHERUCKINGLATER
Thanks guys, you are all sooo supportive. After my results yesterday I cried a lot and ate a whole tub of ice cream in my disappointment.
But I opened my atar this morning and was super nervous and anxious and ended up getting 99.35!!! I cried again at this score but was super ecstatic about it, I didn't think I would get that especially since my atar aim and projection was 97. I got 99.5 in the atar calculator but I assumed it must be broken since it was so high.
Even so, I'm still a little disappointed in my English and Business marks and am annoyed at myself that I could've done better... but whatever, it's done at least!!
