The Truth........ (1 Viewer)

[Miffstaa]

Now that some of us have finished the HSC, are there any confessions that need to be made?

Mine:
a) Yes, I did study film techniques for English by watching XENA- the box set- for a week during Stu vac.
b) To several people: No, i was not busy studying for the HSC, i just really didnt feel like talking to any of you.
c) No, mum and dad. When you thought that I was doing eight hours of study a day the week before the HSC and you both felt amazingly proud, I had actually spent most of my time downstairs and would only rush to my room to 'study' when you both came home from work.
d) Yes, i did make up those quotes from the Tempest......and BNW........and BR........and Frontline. Maybe several from Harwood? I'm not sure.

 

[Azreil]

Yes, I did make up cases in Legal and case studies in Business Studies.
No, I'm not trying as hard as I would've if I still needed 99.3.
Yes, I did only study for ext english for about 2 hours.

 

[Lordie]

Yes, I did sometimes use studying as an excuse to not see friends.

That...is basically all

I was quite the nerd for the HSC exams, heh...gotta love those 10 hour study days every day. Eeeeek.

 

[wixxy2348]

Uhh it occasionally happened that when mates asked what I did all day (in the week leading up to AOS) I said I'd just "bummed around"... rather than admitting that I had spent >12 hours a day every day studying chemistry.

OOH and during the HSC year, my mother thought I was studying all the time (at least 2 days a week I'd get home from school and lock myself in my room, come out for dinner, and then return). Truth was I was sleeping. I didn't lie though, she just assumed.....and then told all my friends haha.

ahhah really? wow
i would never be able to have such self control. i think my concentration span lasts about 1 hour and by the end of that i already have a headache.

 

[mattchis]

I only studied the night before for ancient.

 

[wixxy2348]

Oh... and the other truth is that I'm burnt out. cbf studying anymore. I won't admit that to my mother though.

 

[Dis Amrahs]

I didn't try as hard as i could have...
Im now a much more cynical and resigned person when it comes to secondary education in NSW
I did memorise essay responses (though i didnt write memorised essays in the tests)
I did steal scalpels, d40x camera charger and a silk screen press from the art staff
I also broke their fishbowl.

*No i will not miss anyone in my grade, even though i said i would.
*never really tried harder when i said i would
*am soo over all this crap and just want to sleep, even though i promised my friends/fam to go out with them all after my hsc, and i lied when i said 'id be up for anything'..

 

[midifile]

Most of my 'going to the library and studying all day' was actually 'going to the library for 2 hours, getting bored, then going for coffee/shopping for the rest of the day'

Im pretty excited not to have to see half the people in my grade ever again

[Kelly47]

*I only studied the night before for most exams, in some cases 2 nights when I was serious.
*I never really learnt to study, I did better by cramming.

That's all I can think of for now...

Afraid the next few months will be boring as hell.

 

[snowconesyum]

yes, hsc period has strangely had not the hsc claiming my life, but tv.... i am now proudly up to date on: gossip girl, doctor who (so sad he's not coming back!) ,
prison break season 4 (all in one night! that is skill!!), mentalist, antm 11, 90210 - and those are the online ones as well as hours of shows that i couldn't care less about. like the amazing race.

yes, hsc mornings before the exams have been the most productive cramming sessions ever

No, I never read 'Emma'
Yes, I based all my essays on 'Emma' on the two film versions I have seen
No, I haven't tried as hard as I probably should have
Yes, I spent two hours playing solitare yesterday to avoid studying
Yes, I only studied for maths the day before the exam... and will probably live to regret it!
Yes, I will be very disappointed if I get UAI below 90 even though I can still get into a similar course than my first prefence
