Yep, it is modern.
I would rather drop it than have mediocrity on my report. Well, a band 1 is less than mediocre even. But some background for the people who are curious:
I, unfortunately, paid no attention in class all year. Still managed to come first because it's mostly assignments based, but I've retained no knowledge. I had planned for a heavy cram session, but I'm come down with some mystery illness (headaches, weird rash that ITCHES LIKE FUCKING MAD - allergic to the HSC?) and I can't study. I've done my exams for the 10 units and they could have been better, but I'm fairly happy with them. So I don't see the point in trying to cram when I feel so wretched for an exam that will probably not count anyway.
But thanks everyone, I'll go into school and see my year advisor tomorrow.
