I hate looking at the damn 'general thoughts' forums because they make me feel bad.

Yeah I was on to the freecell as well... "I'll win one more game and then study" :|
I was a full Spider sollitaire addict then switched to freecell couldnt increase my 78% win rate so i quit.
I had to full avoid playing this game during my breaks because 1 hr breaks usually doubled like early in the hsc year.

EDIT: I had stupid dreams b4 English Paper 2 like establishing a global business and failing at it. lol weird dream that i will never 4 get.

I did not finish reading the 50th Gate, its not my fault my teacher assumed so.

I didn't study as much as I should've.

Yes I needed the whole week for my geography exam, but only studied a total of 1 and a half days.

No, I did not study for maths... at all.

Yeah I will be disappointed with my UAI, because I know i'm capable of something better.

I recruited more tv shows into my regular daily routine as HSC hit.

I want to see very few from school.

The school year was 'trouble' filled, but no one really knows....

-No, I will not miss school/friends/my grade. The people I like I'll continue to see. And thats not many.
-No, I did not try as hard as I should have or could have.
-Yes, my results will reflect this.
-After managing to fudge my way through good results all year, all my teachers and family will be shocked.
-No, my UAI will not be above 90, even though I know my parents are still hoping.
-Yes, I faked study when you came in through the garage.
-Yes, I've become rather adept at tetris and poker.
-Yes, I've discovered a passion for daytime tv, discovery home and health and girls of the playboy mansion.
-No, I did not study for a single exam until 5am the morning before. Except chem. Which I didn't study at all.
-Yep, I actually left about 35% of my chem paper blank.
-Yes, I fail at life.
-Yes, I completely lost motivation (not that I really had it in the first place...) and just decided I didn't care.
-Yes, I'm so glad I'm out of school.
-No, I don't really want to go to uni, nor do I particularly want to study science. Although I wouldn't mind psych.
-Yes, I secretly want to be a stay at home mother.
-No, I never read BNW, King Lear or half of Coleridge's poems. Nor did I watch Blade Runner or half of Frontline.
-Yes, I had a lot of notes/motivation etc at the beginning of this year. No, I never studied or acted upon said motivation.
-Yes, I left every single assessment to the night before.
-Yeah, I just wanna be 18 already and get to QLD and have a job. And money.

So that's most of it I think.

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'

Yes, I made up all my quotes and sources for ancient history.
Yes, I did watch drama series in the middle of the HSC.

I made up quotes in both my history extension and english extension exams
Oh and I made up quotes in my ORM's for English Adv too.

I was usually on the computer or playing my bass when I told dad I was studying.

No I never stuck to my study plan.

Often when I quizzed people to "help them study", it was actually so I could just get them to tell me stuff so I didn't need to read the textbook as much.

Yes I should've tried harder in Chemistry instead of just accepting it as "the two units that I'm gonna stuff up."

I purposely got myself sick during the trials just to buy me some extra study time and it worked!

*After about the 5th time through, I got nothing out of Clueless - I was just watching it so I could do something mindless and pretend to study
*When I claimed that watching Rage and listening to music for hours on end was study, I was lying - yeah, I do music, but no, I wasn't analysing anything
*I chose Look There's A Hippopotamus In The Playground Eating Cake as a related text for journeys because I've known the whole thing by heart for about 12 years, so I didn't have to learn much
*I wasn't studying film techniques while watching NCIS, Friends, Scrubs, How I Met Your Mother or anything else I claimed was study
*I don't think I wrote a single genuine quote in my English papers
*I couldn't think of a name for a literary expert in an English assessment, so I used Dr Drake Ramoray, which was the first thing that popped into my head
*I never really thought of a plot for creative writing in EE1, I just worked out how I could easily kill people off and get in the word vexacious most easily

1. No, I didn't do a thing for the AOS essay, and made up my support texts and quotes on the spot. Actually, Paper One = nothing prepared.
2. No, sorry, I don't expect a Band 6 like certain teachers.
3. Yes, I didn't know any of my Option topic for Physics until the night before the exam.
4. Yes, I did start studying for Biology at 11 PM the night before.
5. Yes, I didn't finish most of my tests.
6. Yes, I did basically every assignment / prepared for my tests the day / night before as well as the morning it was due (and for a certain English Module - nothing at all).
7. I spent more time on videogames / procrastinating and watching multiple seasons of a TV series than actual study during the post-trial study period.....
8. I did basically none of the homework set throughout the year (except, about one subject).
9. Yes, I do like taking peoples' ranks when they work so much harder.
