how do you stop yourself from procrastinating?

for me, reading motivational books seem to help a bit. uninstalling msn messenger would be a good solution too, but i wouldn't stay sane for too long after that :p

yeah thats what i thought as well. ggrr..stupid age barrier. just 1 and a half more years til that magical age. thanks :D

i tried going into hurstville library's study room. it was a complete failure. first i don't like quiet places, second, every little noise and movement distracted me. put more pressure than before. well you know the thing with chinese parents. they give and expect what they think yo want instead of what you really need. :$

get your parents to register or something. I actually registered at Penshurst, they didn't ask for my age, but i'm not sure if they do now.

the study room in Hurstville library is alright, though i hate sitting near the automatic door, because the noise of it opening and closing really gets me!

I can't uninstall MSN because my mum uses it to contact my relatives in China. I told her to call them instead but she likes the idea of using a webcam to contact because she can see my relatives...thats understandable...

That'll still be using MSN, retard.

My mum does have an account.

How can I delete my account? Delete everyone off my list? I already had a massive clear-out recently.

i've been told that this is good. but once i focus and try to study, i lack the lack-of-preparation study technique. i have to rely on photographic memory.

but i want to be in the really really really..etc smart bludgy group. or to be just handed my 100 uai for the hsc right now...
