i wish i accelerated in maths, like learnt it at tutor and stuff since like year 9 and stuff so i wouldnt have to stress over it so much now

and furthermore, i wish i didnt pick chemistry at all but instead, business studies or one of the histories. i absolutely sucked at it, and physics i would have failed, and bio, dont think i would have liked it

i keep thinking about this though even though i cant change any of it.

i wish i thought about my subject choices more seriously, and actually researched the content of what i would be learning in each. and not believed in chemistry and scaling. i think that pushed me to do because it was the only part of science i was okay at, at least in year 10 anyway

I cannnot be more satisfied with my subjects. But I wish I could do more subjects on top of what I have now such as Physics, Accounting and probably Korean Background Speakers (which means that I will have 18 units!!!)

As much as Economics is a drag, I still would have done it.

I would have possibly done Hospitality (even though it is a VET course) instead of Food Tech by dist. ed. I'm really good at Food Tech but i'm such a bum when it comes to the distant education stuff. I really, really wish that the school would have provided the subject for me, instead of doing everything through Dubbo Dist. Ed. Centre. It's quite depressing really.

Although, suprisingly half the stuff in Food Tech is relevant to stuff in Economics.

Ummmm, I may have done Ext. English. I had my doubts about Adv. English through year 11 but I suppose I wouldn't change it now. And I obviously won't :)

But I wouldn't dream of changing Business Studies or Biology.

Even though I dropped Biology at the end of the prelim course, i wish I'd done Physics instead, never know, i might've dropped something else.

And maths. I should've done General from the start, don't know why i let my parents convince me to do advanced, now i have to learn Data Analysis in the next two weeks before the half-yearlies.

I love Modern :) (just thought I'd put that out there)

Whats wrong with doing it now though?
Nothing, it's just that modern is a pretty easy, straight forward subject that I'm confident I could've scored a b6 had I done the exam in y11. That way I'd only have to worry about 8u now :O

Sometimes I regret doing Chemistry. Then I could have done Ancient History

Biggest regret, i didnt choose general math. 4U math is so freakin hard that the average for the first exam was 60 something. My confidence in math was shattered.

I would've taken Modern History and Economics. Easily topped the class in both. The teachers keep talking about how dumb I was not to do those subjects. I completely agree.
I got 95 for History in the SC but I took up Maths and I got like.. 69? I'm so stupid.
Business Studies is by far the biggest regret.
