Im trying to rediscover the motivation that I had up until just last week. If it doesnt come back when I return to school I dont know what ill do.
I realised over this holidays that success academically is not nearly as important as success in other areas.
Its funny cause a 50 in whatever subject isnt the holy grail for me anymore. I dont admire those of you who dedicate your lives to VCE anymore. I dont care about getting my top preference. I'd rather do something with what ive got rather than spend 5 more years learning from a textbook to be something im not. The world doesnt need another pen-pusher, earning triple figures, thinking theyve 'made it'.

You say that now because you can't see any benefits from your study (weeks of studying shit that is pointless to you) but when they get 99.XX and you get 80 you'll begin admiring again ;)

Nah jokes bro, keep it up

Not really. The ENTER score is a key to a door I might not want to go through. What do I care if some FOB takes my spot at Monash Uni? 5 years of toil to be yet another over-paid, under-appreciated piece of shit with LLB after his name.

haha-

why don't you put your top preferences something you want to do so you can say that it is something you want (pssssttt the point of going to uni is doing something you want to do)

Key word is might, if you are still not sure of what you want to do then why not just go for what you want, take a gap year and rethink your choices? If you really don't want to be a lawyer then don't put it as no. 1? There are a lot of degrees out there... pick something you like I guess? I'm sure that has been explained to you before :P

I purposely put might in there. Haha. I hoped you wouldnt notice it.

If I get my motivation back I probably will want to go to uni. If I dont though ill need some philosophical reasoning behind my 'decision' to be a lazy fuck-up.

I dont think radiographers are generally called doctor...Radiologists are (but you need to be a medical doctor in the first place so its kind of a circle..
