How do YOU deal with disappointments?

Hey guys,

So I've noticed that heaps of people have been raising hypotheticals about study and Year 12 in this section; so I thought I'd ask one too! :)

Without a doubt, you guys have experienced some brilliant highs, and some not-too-flash lows this year. My question is - what do you say or do to not allow your disappointments to affect your studies. Since I envisage that it's a very important thing to have high self-confidence leading up the final examinations...

Oh PS. Sorry to the 11 people who have read this expecting me to divulge information - I just got raped by Heffanan 2009 Methods, so not in the right state-of-mind at the moment.

I would normally say keep going, "just do it", etc.
But after that horror of a paper, I feel a bit shallow saying that haha :)

When I got my first A this year in a SAC (in FURTHER MATHS, of all subjects) I went home and cried and imagined myself sticking a knife on the wall and smashing my head into it. Probably not healthy thinking, but since then I've taken further maths more seriously as a subject.

Can't be that bad since your aim is still 45+. How many practise essays have you written these holidays

Wrote 3 for language analysis and 3 for text response. Not nearly enough. I despise the subject, cannot actually write essays. Realistically, am looking at below 40. Goodbye, ENTER score =(

Even if you got 25 you'd get an ENTER of over 95 with your other scores/predicted scores...

Over 95 isn't enough to get into everything though...

It is for the course ilovemathsmeths wants (posted in that other thread). I'm saying that <40 for her isn't "goodbye enter score"... and on that matter neither is 25 because it'd still get her a 97.05 (confirmed on entercalc)

If it was a SAC or an exam with me I would spend the rest of the day sulking over it. With my specialist maths exams I literally swore that much after them, you would have said I was crazy.

With my exams the only ones I felt content with, was my mid-year physics, both methods exams and my English exam. My last physics exam really cut me as when I looked at the itute answers I realised I said goodbye to atleast a 40 in physics (this was partially because it was my second last exam and I was tired).

Long story short I don't take disappointments well!
