Really this is a good thing, lets me reflect on my thoughts from the start of the year with the new found wisdom that I have gained these past few months. To answer your question, the thing I am most looking forward to this year and am currently looking forward for now, is the new sense of freedom that I and a whole bunch of other people I'm sure as well have gained by moving into our final year. There is much to look forward to in the final year of school. (1) The HSC!!! Woooo!!!, (2) as I go to a college of three campuses, i'm in the senior college consisting of only year 11s and 12s, this has really opened up heaps of opportunity, namely the fact that we get to meet a whole year's worth of fresh faces who will be doing the HSC alongside us. (3) as I said above the freedom is not only restricted to school but life in general, this year I've been able to try new things out and explore new opportunities throughout the past months. I hope that answers your question. I lost track of what I was saying a bit, but thanks for the reply.

The amount of times I've nearly done this would scare you ;)

Great to see you back online, Fergus! ;D

Hey guys, been a few weeks since last post. They've been pretty hectic, already a week in with my Trial exams starting in two weeks  :'( which should be an interesting experience. I like many of my cohort I would assume spent the recent holidays enjoying themselves rather than studying. I spent my first week on a leadership and self development camp for the NYSF Student Staff Leadership Program which was held by Outward Bound Australia. Basically that means that I've been asked to come back to the NYSF program to be a Staffie, which essentially means I will be helping to run one of the sessions on NYSF. It was an awesome and eye opening experience on the leadership course with Outward Bound. The first part of the camp was going over the skills I will need to run session in January but second part was the Expedition. Myself and the other 15/16 people who are in my Staffie team were taken on a four day hike. While my last week of holidays was spent doing everything but studying, which is starting to haunt me currently as I'm currently doing all the work that I put off this weekend. It's actually reallly nice to be back at school and back at the grind, everything picked back up straight where we left it. I think I will leave it here until next time. Cheers.

Creative Writing is going to be the death of my English mark. It's really frustrating to come up with ideas!!! Over a week back into the grind and nothing has changed. All the work that I should have done in the holidays is really biting me in the ass. I am currently just trying push through the workload and get some revision done for my trials coming up in a week and a bit. Aargh!! My trial exam timetable sucks so much!! For some reason the teachers thought to put Physics, Extension 1 Maths, Economics, and Chemistry all clumped together one after the other!! So I'm really loving the faculties right now. Luckily enough that clump of exams is in the second week of exam block so I still have a bit of time to prepare. Something I forget to mention last time was that the English faculty made us sit an assessment period 1 of day 1 for our module C. That was expectingly disappointing to sit. Personally, as I spent the large majority of my holidays away on hikes while the rest was enjoying the illusion of freedom, I did not prepare sufficiently or at least to the level I would have liked. In its favour, the assessment was a real kickstarter for my studying at least, so now the grind is well and truly underway. Cheers.

New day new me, that's how its supposed to go. I've been looking at a lot of stuff recently like for instance the Mental Health First Aid course which looks pretty cool and useful espescially, is that how you spell it? for when I will be on NYSF in January. I was also looking at the Duke of Edinburgh award. I've been really wanting to do it recently but I never completed the bronze award, though I got really close. I managed to complete all the hours and I did the preparation training and actual qualifying journey but I missed out on it when I went to Europe for holiday and missed the practice journey, which was really annoying. I've been looking up alternatives to finish, but otherwise I want to complete the full award but I will most likely just skip the bronze despite the little bit left. Cya
