Heheh! I have '99.3' (the UAI I need) painted onto sheets of paper and stuck in every room of my house. One is right next to the TV, so when I'm watching tv I also see the sign and feel guilty and get back to work (that's the psychology, working so far!).

My study room has been fully fixed up for this year. I bought a wall-to-wall whiteboard, yearly planner, sort my books, filed my old notes, bought textbooks, printed out past papers... so when I actually intend to get some studying done my room is well equiped. I'm quite scarily motivated - I think I might be a good motivational speaker one day! Woo!

What are u planning on doing ?

Hmm, prolly Com/Law @ UNSW. So I might have to go around and change it to 99.6 or something in a month. *cringes*

thanks guys for these ideas i might put some of them to use......i just thought of another one..maybe reading all the year 12 2003 marks and see how well they have done it might motivate you to think i want to do as well as them

i find i spend too much time on this site though when i should be studying..

 

[olay]

yeah...buying new stuff or getting tutored is a good strategy..

LoL i hear yah. :S man i feel so guilty bout the whole tutoring thing...i'm doing 2hrs maths + i do piano....so they're forking out about $90 a wk. MAJOR guiltness. i was so angst cause mom was like "RAHRAH you can't study and then go out anymore" etc [HELLO!!! SUMMER HOLIDAYS...last chance of freedom til post HSC]. I was originally going to do 1 hr tutoring only. but now that its 2...i feel like i owe it to them to glue my face to books for 9 or 10 months. :S

i hate anybody who semi-buys their way through the hsc (tutoring). i cant afford it but will get a fantastic UAI anyway. i have a good tutor...my amazing brain.

Yes yes me i have a good mantra - "If it takes someone else to get YOU motivated, you're betraying yourself and sacrificing what could be a great skill" like it?

Yeah if i need motivation i just imagine how sweet itll be when everybody i ever knew sees my name in the paper, or hears about my UAI like in the week when they come out. oh sweet sweet victory.

To get motivated, I always say to myself...
"Just do it you idiot! So you can do something else later!"

I agree With your theory !!
ur a genius!!

i hate people that go to tutoring in math thinking they are the best , cause theyve done it before ..
and at the end of the topic
I beat Em1!!
Just cause of my hard work !! something to be proud of

 

[abdooooo!!!]

yeah man, tutoring is never enough. i say never.

if you want to get ahead of everyone else, you need multiple tutors... your brain, your eyes, your leg, your hand, your nose, and ass.

so am i a genius?

 

[skypryn]

yeah, numero uno is right. i am a genius. see you guys at the finish line...+ an extra $5000 that i DIDNT spend on tutoring + an extra $20000 from my uni sholarship...
