Ummm, I'm sick.
Seriously, grow the fuck up. I genuinely don't care that you're finished school earlier than I am. I don't give a fuck about the class of 04 in general, but the class of 04 at my school contained some of the worst people I've ever met, so yeah... I'm proud of not belonging to it.

dirty trick
im an 05er and generally we have a weird thing going on with the odd numbered graduates from our school seem to be higher achievers than the even no.éd ones...just by checking the honour roll..

the chosen one
alas i am cursed with procrastinating. i can't stop myself. i'm an above average student without much work, but i could be up there with the very best if i work a little harder. why won't i work? there is no motivation!!!! urgh!!

Probably somewhat similar to me. I ended up acheiving what could be seen as "pleasing" ranks (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 7th, 25th), but I still felt like a failure because I knew how little effort I had really put in realistically I could have been top or within a few marks of top if I'd just put in the effort throughout the year. I was actually looking at ending up about 4th-40th in alot of the ranks but was able to pull them up from my slightly increased effort at the end before the trials.lesmiester_dj said:
The biggest and only advice I can give you, because nothing else worked for me, is THINK ABOUT THE UAI YOU WILL RECEIVE AT THE END OF THE YEAR.
Think about when you get that paper, and realise it could realistically have been 5 or 10 marks higher with not much extra effort. Think of what a dissapointment you are to yourself, that this mark will be with you THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, every employer will ask it, even 20 years later some people may still ask you what you got for curiosity sake. Think of the dissapointment when you tell them but then try and justify that it really could of been higher, you're really smarter than that. They won't believe you.
So put in the effort now, keep UP TO DATE and learn FULLY everything up to the point in the course you are at before each exam. This saves alot of time later. Don't do an exam and go "I didn't know this section, but it's over now so phew, who cares" it WILL come back to bite you. Learn everything you got wrong in the exams and go over it again.
sigh, I'll probably end up with a UAI around 93... what it could have been... anything up to 100 depending on the amount of work I put in. I could have topped the state, I could have got recognition, I could have got scholorships, if I had just worked harder, more often and more consistantly. Think about it, every time you're not studying for an exam or come in under prepared, you're costing yourself money and more importantly respect, for the REST OF YOUR LIFE.
While this may sound ultra serious, I wish it's what people had of told me at the start. I barely even realised I was actually in year 12 in term 4 of Y11.
Do your assignments well, study for exams adequitly. it DOES pay off. Honestly my usual thing the whole year was do each assignment in the last day or two, spending an average of about 8 hours on each. For tests it was usually maybe a breif 1-2 hours total in the week leading up to it and maybe 4 hours the night before. THIS WAS NOT ADEQUITE! and it was a trait that I still carried right up till the actual HSC (reading 120 pages of the excel revision guide in the 14 hours before a test).
I had a gift that I really wasted in school, luckaly I should still be able to just squeeze by and be able to do almost everything I wanted to do, only it's a little bit harder this way. I only hope I don't make the same mistakes in university again.
Don't do what I did. work hard, and acheive results you can be happy in. It is the greatest favour you can do yourself.

That's what I thought to but I went out and bought tons of books, and also started going over the entire exercise book from the start of year 11.astro said:
I know my rant was long and in places maybe even lame, but if it inspirse you to do at least one assignment well it's worth it. I know it will probably provide only a short burst of motivation, as most speeches/motivation I ever got did, but it's better than nothing. I guess keep reffering back to it and try to get yourself motivated.

good on you shuter
although to be a whinger for a second, its much harder when you're at a selective school because you're surrounded by deranged people who do like 4-5 days of tutoring a week and never go out
