    Half-yearly results

    i've got a chick in my class who does that.......although she's smart to begin with so i don't know if that makes a difference. She'll just go home and write out and memorise something, come to school and plough through the assessment tasks. But she has every right to do it i guess, the...

    school is drab

    uni does sound like alot of fun, a heap of work, but still, fun! the whole competitive thing..........well yes and no at my school. Everyone wants to go well and stuff, but there arent any grudges held if someone beats you or anything. most ppl sulk for a while and get over it. we're just a...

    Student exchange

    no worries just another thought, some programs have an age limit (like you can't turn 18 in the year that you leave, etc etc) so you'll have to check a few out. try rotary first, i think they're a pretty good choice from what ive heard what country were u thinking of applying for? parko :D

    Music 2- core performance
