We didn't have half-yearlies, so we have the trials, which are internal exams, and they count for two things (i.e., report marks and marks to be sent off to the board...) If you ask me, I don't like the system. And...

I didn't do any homework in year 12, the teachers didn't care and I only really wanted to study. Most homework tasks are useless anyway.

Yes, that's way too much study.

Way too much.

Insanely too much.

"You crazy bastard. I'd die after a week of that treatment" too much.

like shifting from neutral straight into fifth gear: it won't work. it will take you a while to build up 12 hrs study per day on the weekend. 3 hrs per night seems reasonable.

Just wondering, because from tomorrow, that's how things will be looking. I need to pass my trials. I need a decent enough UAI as a backup plan, if my uni portfolio (which I'm also allocating fairly substantial slabs of my time towards) doesn't get me into my chosen degree. Too extreme? Anyone? Not enough?
give me ur motivation!!!

The problem is there IS no motivation, if I don't study this hard, I won't do it. And Minai's right... However, I'm managing to keep it together.

Nah, he won't even end up at UoW. :p

Mainly because of me spreading propaganda earlier this year. The UAI for UoW LLB will surpass that of ANU's. :p
