...since starting the HSC?
Sometimes I think that the HSC is some sort of absurd experiment thought up by the BOS: "Let's put a quantity of students into a pressure cooker, make them study for 5 hours a night in order for them to get out, and see how their lives fall apart..."
Maybe I'm the only one who thinks that, but surely I'm not the only one whose life has changed?
Post your gains, sacrifices, anything that has changed!
here are some of mine:
1. I've gained 7 kgs; that's because I quit the gym to make time for more study and I allow myself to eat anything I like, so that I don't get depressed...
2. I have major credit card debt, because I cut down on shifts
3. I've added 20 or so new DVDs to my collection (including any movie we ever watched in english - I just thought it's important to own them ) - also adding to credit card debt
4. I get to wear my own clothes once a week - otherwise i just wear my school uniform, or work uniform...
Some good things that have changed are:
5. My IQ went up 11 points since last year
6. I've learned the importance of sleep - I now make way for at least 9 hours a night
