Motivation during school holidays (2 Viewers)

[Bookie]

My motivation;

to beat people like Riviet who study 40 hours (no hard feelings man)

 

[seremify007]

LOL alot of people are motivated by the.. "Just to beat some smartass/nerd/etc.." principle. Even me^^

Aren't they, by definition, the smartass/nerd?

I think that would make them the 'wantabe smartass/nerd', unless they are coming 2nd and don't think that is good enough want to be first in all their courses and won't be happy with a 99.99 UAI.

The irony is that a lot of the ppl in my school who studied their asses off and got branded 'nerd' ended up with UAIs in the 90-96 range... yet the 'jocks' (based on what i've heard) all ended up with much higher UAIs. To me, I was just glad I beat my rival from kindergarten who always studied his ass off and thought I was a joke for not studying harder subjects (he did phys, chem, eco... i did ipt, biz, eco)

Success is whatever you measure it to be, well done seremify007

You want motivation?
Work hard or your UAI will be shit and you WONT be going to uni.

and..if the bf doesnt change the marks, the bf stays.

 

[seremify007]

Thanks guys- haha i wasn't expecting a congrats (wasn't the intention) but yeh my message/meaning was meant to be... you don't have to be nerdy/studyholic to get a good UAI (it might help i'm guessing) and you don't have to be doing the super-hard subjects either.

A quote if you're into tough love and working through anger, instead of praise and encouragement:

"Getting a bad UAI isn't the end of your life, just the start of a shit one"

Yes the HSC count down is on the BOS homepage and just incase you forgot "THERE ARE 282 DAYS UNTIL THE 2006 HSC".

about 3 weeks left !

 

[pLuvia]

It's so fast now that we're are year 12 students or it could be a good thing

 

[connected]

If it's any consolation to anyone, I haven't touched any set texts or assignments these holidays either. I plan to do so after I come back from the Gold Coast on the 21st.

 

[pLuvia]

You can always read one of your novels on your trip to the Gold Coast Just a suggestion to kill time

 

[lilkiwifruit]

yea like "Brave New World" would really set the mood for a fantastic trip to the Gold Coast! hmmmm
