I exceeded my expectations in some respects, and fell short in others.
last few weeks I've developed deeper feelings of empathy, which is something I always felt I didn't have enough of.
I've discovered how important God is to me

lol these have been the shittest 2 years of my whole life
ive sort of changed into a recluse, sitting at home and procrastinating...
then when friends ring up i make up excuses because i haven't done any work
i've lost my fitness
and i've kind of lost a sense of identity... my life feels really empty because its just HSC HSC HSC and thats what everyone (relatives etc) always talks to me about
ive been sleeping late, and waking up with a distinct disdain for the BOS and HSC
im hoping to improve social skills next year and start doing something i enjoy
should b very fun

well.... i gues i have changed as well, but i thinkk both positive and negative
this yr the most. cant wait till its all over so my parent can get off my back abbout study, and the hsc, i have learnt a heap of stuff though which (id never thought id say this) i think will be extreemly helpfiul for my future also i think i have developed my faith with God for the better which is good, because last year when i changed schools my faith was going down and i always "didnt have tinme" for studies and that and i feel that i am not focusining more on Him again which is good
a bad thing tho is that i found out my pop is sick and he's gonna die soon due to cancer... that wasnt good
anyway so yer thats how ive changed

amazingly enough, i think i've got calmer, and less agro (and i used to get really pissed off amazingly easy), but having to cope with the stress has imbued me with something vaguely resembling patience.
i found out i can properly hate something- 2 unit advanced english
and, as i go to a private all-boys school 2 streets from where i live and don't know ANY girls (no social life), i've grown a bit less afraid of the unknown and cant wait to get to uni rectify these problems.
deep stuff, i know.
edit: one thing thats not changed- i'm still too lazy to put any effort into anything at all.

ive lost a dress size. thank you, three mws.
im better with theoretically time managment, im worse with procrastination. im stronger and i cry more easilly. i have made incrediable friendships with peers and teachers. im, for the first time, able to exercise patience. i laugh quicker and i scold faster. i listen to miley ray cyrus with out shame. i buy concert tickets with out asking my mum now. i recognise, finally, when i hurt people.
and i write amazing essays, lol.
in short, year 11 and 12 were good for me. im less self pitying.

i'm a lot more confident and outspoken.
i don't care as much about what people think of me, and i'm more comfortable with sharing my opinion.
i more willingly take on challenges and am focused to finish them.
i'm an expert crammer ---> i've learnt that i don't want to be an expert crammer during university haha.
i'm a lot more emotional, but also a lot stronger and don't take everything as personally.

I have changed so much due to the HSC.
I've found that I've matured and also become more accepting of situations. Before, I would complain a lot. But now, I just accept it and move on.
I've also realised who my real friends are. I can't wait until I don't have to see the shitheads that I've spent everyday with for the last six or more years anymore.
I gained and lost a coffee addiction. go me!
Aaaaand, I've put on a couple of dress sizes. Damn you HSC!!!!
I have also come to realise that my teachers are real people, with real feelings and emotions. I saw my history teacher cry!

I guess i am just unique, people are overall gaining "greater confidence" because of the HSC, i am different.
HSC is a competition, you against the state. No matter how hard I try, there are still many other student who do heaps better than me. Sometime i feel lack of confident, unbelieving myself . . could i really achieve a uai of 90+? Even know i knew i am shit in english. This is life, you need to fight to survive.
Because of HSC, i learnt life is what all about, is all about achieving one thing, and the next and the next. . Its never ending. But if you stop, others will be ahead of you. . . and you will struggle even further.

Ive changed in the sense where i have matured a lot. Going to every party i was invited to and never being home became the last thing on my mind, i just wanted to stay in my room and read, or be by myself. I lost social skills, relised what i truly want in life and what i have to do to get it. Ive realised study is important and i enjoy learning. I learnt so much about myself, and thankfully gained a whole lot of once lost faith & trust from my parents, maybe thats also as a result of turning 18, but they realise im not the same 'little shit' i was back in my younger days.
I realised just how great my teachers really are and how much i love the learning side of school, and began to dislike the socialising side of it. Totally learnt to walk on my own and not be embarresed or nothing, realiised how childish some people are, what i like and dislike about others and how much i cant wait to finiish school, although ill miss it, and just get out there!
Soo much went down and it all seems so far away now! 2 years of the biggest journey ever..
cant wait for the next chapter, and to "never put off till tomorrow the fun you can have today" ever again, to start taking care of myself again, in terms of health, my hair etc lol and to just do eveything on my long list of "things to do after the hsc"
Oh and totally learnt you need balance in life!

Physically:
Lost 9kg, gone through awesome hair dying phases, gotten very fit and then very very sick. Am now on the road to getting better thanks to finally seeing a better doctor!
Emotionally:
Have learnt that real friendships stick even when you are the biggest shit ever. Am unbelievably grateful for that.
Have learnt that I need to let go of alot of anger that I've held on to
Have learnt that I can be independent, I don't need people to care about me in order to keep going - and having learnt that, I've found some wonderful people who do care all the same.
Have learnt that sometimes the toughest thing is to be calm when all you want to do is panic - but to do that, is so rewarding.
Have realised that I will always put my friends above the hsc, and having a friend who suffered terrible - am confident that I did the right thing in spending alot of time helping her - I honestly don't care if I miss out on my course so long as she is ok - because I know I have the drive to work hard next year and transfer.
Have learnt that being happy is something you, and only you have responsibility for. I'm estatic I finally realised how to make myself happy.
Have realised the importance of perseverence, and of finding hope in everything.

Wow, what a reflective thread.
From the HSC I have learnt that I can achieve more than I ever thought possible. I learnt to think in an essay structure, but also to understand the world much more holistically. I learnt that you can't have everything and need to get your priorities set. Also, I think I learnt not to stress as much (but that would also be my boyfriend's influence).
I actually enjoyed the HSC. I can't wait for it to be over, but it was such an intense period of my life: intellectually, socially, emotionally and internally and I really feel I have gained a lot. Woo... good journey

i went on an imaginative journey where i have discovered myself and realised the importance of the appreciation of others, myself and life by appreciating my surroundings of the natural world and god.
TBH hsc has prevented me from pursuing other things that i would've liked to do.
but at the same time i dont regret that it happened.

TBH HSC did affect my social life.
Especially nearing trials and the exams themselves... people would be asking me to come out with them etc.. it has been hard replying with "Nah, i gotta study" for the past 2-3 months.
I reckon the HSC made me find out who my true friends are. So many people became jealous.. and so I just pissed them out of my life, but my true friends are still there.
