My Dilemma/Interview with the Principal. (1 Viewer)

[broady]

Ok - here's my (short) story.

Recently had the interview with the principa (after our 1/2 yearlies). UAI estimate "mid 95s".

Now, I currently do around 10 minutes of work a week. I want to do B Commerce at USyd. (req. around 93,94).

I just feel like giving up and resorting to deep procrastination.

What do you guys think?

 

[sando]

good idea...

 

[mr_brightside]

Have fun struggling at uni.

 

[Tulipa]

Have fun struggling at uni.

get rid of procrastinating habits NOW

no like seriously. NOW

do your work for assessments, organise your notes for future reference and study for exams.

it sounds simple but when you get used to procrasinating its really fucking hard.

 

[0Jade0]

My advice... suck it up and just do the work. There isn't that long to go.

How do you plan on surviving uni?

 

[Mutationis]

ah broady. just feel lucky that you can get mid 95s with that amount of work. and plus draper says that they usually push down the estimates to try and get us to work harder.

 

[broady]

haha yeah, I know.

For those of you that ask me how I'm going to survive at Uni... I'm actually going to do a course that I will enjoy, as opposed to the meaningless garbage that we learn at present (even in Business Studies, my favourite subject.)

Tulipa - I keep notes and study to the syllabus before assessments... and do pretty well (top of business studies and maths)

 

[sando]

so obviously u do study alot... u just want people to feel sorry for u becos u will only achieve a dismal UAI of 95...

 

[broady]

Trust me, from the school I go to - that's about average.

 

[doiyoubi]

I think you should if you think we will feel sorry for you because you got an estimate of 95

 

[timobr0]

the estimate from a school using your current marks is not going to be that accurate anyway.....

 

[sunjet]

i know people that do way more work at uni than school, which is the opposite for me, i don't do anything@uni and going to have to work hard now to pass.. uni is not a bludge like everyone says

 

[nahian]

HAHA what a mad liar 10 minutes of work a week and estimated 95 uai
Give us a fucking break please

 

[broady]

Why would I lie to a bunch like you? Or want you to feel sorry? What's there to be sorry about?

 

[pritnep]

Trust me, from the school I go to - that's about average.

Average??? What school do you go to then?

If your teachers are estimating a UAI of 95 you are doing something right so just keep it up, not everyone is lucky enough to be in your position 95 is an excellent UAI IF you can achieve it as it is still early days. Can't really see though how you can only do 10mins a day no matter how smart you are...

 

[Bobness]

Hmm not many schools give out estimate uai's too .. right?

 

[riot_girl88]

No not many schools do it, but i really wish that i went to one that did.

 

[Monstar]

so basically.. your shit.

 

[hopeles5ly]

I've got to agree with broady for some reason... 95 uai is standard at some schools, but i'm not gonna name names here.

If you want to study 10 mins per day, go for it - few people succeed in doing it well.. if you just plain suck, then go for the sporadic method.. got me through the HSC

i know someone in uni now that barely does any study and still gets 80+ in practically every exam/assessment. I think he got around like 97 for his UAI.

 

[ameh]

broady: There's not long to do, so don't give up just yet. Don't let procrastination overtake study.

Yeah that's about it
