    Realisation of the amount that could have been done

    I've been thinking about how much work I could have gotten done for the entire length of the holidays. It's really depressing. However, like someone else has correctly pointed out, there is no point pining over time you can't take back. So, like everyone else, this last week is now officially...

    going overseas for a holiday during Easter break?

    Haha, I'm going to Europe in the Easter holidays. I'm having my 18th in Rome :) Personally, I'm not freaking out (THAT much) about it. As long as I do some study, I feel I will be okay, and I'm lucky because my half yearlies are in the two last weeks of term 1.

    one more week until school

    I wasted most of my time doing UMAT practice in between two 5 hour shifts per day. -_- I go back on the 1st. Looking foreward to getting my Physics, Ancient and English marks back, I think I should go well. The same can not be said for Chemistry...

    Boyfriends for Girls

    So it is really true that guys are totally looks-based? Perhaps I'm just someone who hopes for the best in people, but I have always held a deep seated belief that not every guy would judge a book by its cover. I understand why super attractive girls would get guys nervous, it's the same with...

    schoolies!! whos not going??

    I think you're right... I will have to hope for the best, I guess. My accomodation is booked for the 19th - 26th of November :| Well, looks like Newcastle offers interviews smack-bang in the middle of my schoolies trip. I read some peoples experiences with getting interviews during schoolies...

    schoolies!! whos not going??

    Which Uni's are you applying to for Med? I'm assuming they are interstate interviews? Cause I thought NSW ones where held earlier than schoolies....

    Boyfriends for Girls

    I don't understand why some guys are so nervous around girls. I've talked to my guy friends and they explained (rather poorly, mind you), that they feel that girls are judging them all the time. This can't possibly be true! And, talking for myself, if I'm looking at a guy...it means I'm...

    schoolies!! whos not going??

    I hope you enjoy Europe, I'm going there for 3 weeks in the April holidays (I will turn 18 in Rome =) ). Then I'm coming home and going to Melbourne. Alas, I am going to Schoolies. I'm going to the Gold Coast with my two best friends. We aren't doing the drinking scene though; more like Theme...

    What universities are you doing and course are you thinking of? :)

    I agree with everything you said. The hours are long, the job is extremely stressful, and there is definitely a low margin of error. There is an astronomical amount of competition involved in getting into medicine. Yet I choose to believe that Medicine is a calling. Sure, there are bound to be...

    what keeps you guys motivated to study??

    Thank You. =) I'm a competitive person by nature, so relating sport competitions to the HSC is good for me. - ipodnano, I love that video! It makes me happy every time I see it. =)

    what keeps you guys motivated to study??

    These always get me motivated: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkBOI4lNfYs&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl_1wh1obyM&feature=related If all else fails, I look up the ATAR for Medicine courses. That always helps =P

    progress made on major works during these holidays??

    Yeah....I have not done too much on my EE2 work so far. Only a basic conceptual outline, and I've been reading through some material/texts that will help with my perfection of Authorial Intrusion and Metafiction.

    Who hasn't been studying much seriously?

    This. Otherwise, the only other stuff I've done is complete a Math chapter in the textbook, do some questions from Terry Lee and skim over some Chemistry and Physics stuff... I am glad that there are other people who are struggling to find motivation these holidays. I think once I return to...

    What school do you go to?

    Haha, I go to Brisbane Water Secondary Collage Woy Woy Campus. To answer your questions: No, it isn't in Brisbane Yes, it is a real school. And its name really is that long. No, you shouldn't have heard of it. Unless you...

    Who hasn't been studying much seriously?

    Unsure of what you mean. Should I be unable to work? :haha: Its good for the money, not so good for the study. I shall have to cut down my hours once term starts...

    Who hasn't been studying much seriously?

    Me! That being said, I have 2 jobs so I've been working every day so far. I have managed to get some of my holiday homework done, but I'm still feeling guilty =) At least I'm not alone.
