Same. I'm not really looking forward to making an absolute fool of myself
Exactly, exactly. With high school I knew exactly what was required, how to do reasonably well academically, and how to keep myself inconspicuous, for lack of another word. This seriously took me quite a while to master. With uni, I'm just being thrown in the deep end.
Gosh I did that so many times at Flinders! It's because you're so used to that particular escalator going a certain direction, it takes time to realise what's happening.
LOL, glad I'm not the only one!

Easier said than done...
Totally irrelevant (is there an "offtopic" tag?), but throughout year 12 I had the following quote on the inside of my school diary.
On peut être plus fin qu'un autre, mais non pas plus fin que tous les autres
My own crappy English translation: You can be smarter than another, but not smarter than all others.
I hope that explains what I meant above.
