Hello...
after a long time of hearing about this site i finally decided to visit it and register
i have some questions
i am 17 and doing my HSC. its 11:43pm and tomorrow is the start of my half yearlies, i only have 3 exams this week which ths first is english... i went to study for my english exam only to realise that i had done no work, i had sheets, scraps of paper and snippets of paragraphs etc... It wasnt actaully that bad but when i looked i actaully stood back and went "is that all iv done"?
How importand are these half yearlies really?
I used to be a good student ... 85% (i think thats good). but as the years have progressed have seem to "lose my interest" and now i get about <70% for every exam i do. at the start of the year i was doing extension maths 1 unit... and i got 4% =(.. i then realised that i was definatley kidding myself and now i do general maths
Last year i didnt do anywork... and i kept saying "ill work next year" now that it has come im still doing none
i am to get a UAI of 80 +, is that possible at my current standard, i think not
i dont even know if i want to go to UNI, even though 1 outta 3 people do.
My sister completed her HSC 3 years ago and is now at Marquarie uni, she got a UAI of 96.85.. i remember she used to be up in her room studying every night, every night.
i cannot help but think my family expects this of me, not that its a big deal for them. Not implying that my family doesnt care what i get but that they want me to do my best
i often hear stories of people who at the start of year 12 decided to "do well". One of these is from my H/R teacher who told me of one of her students who wasnt really that bright and at the start of year 12 decided to work and ended up of getting a UAI of 98.5
Is it too late for me?
I lack motivation, eg of this can be me saying "ill work next year", i also lack commitment.
I do no study at all and usually spend most of my time on my computer playing "Halo" or writing scripts for AutoIt3.
I have no idea what i want to do at UNI if i decide to go, i still have no idea what i want to be/do when i leave school.
I would like to be in a "professional" band or have some connection to the music industry as i like music, not that my music results show that.... I often think "i have what it takes to be famous" and then i think of all the people that havent made in the industry and have to have a 2nd job to get by.
I dont have a job and i have only acculated 8hrs on my Learners Permit, hence adding to my lazyness
Im not sure why im telling everyone this or what i hope to gain but i just needed to vent myself
I do want to do well in my HSC, and i know that the result i get will reflect how much work i have put in, which atm is non-existent
Can i still reach my hope of getting a UAI of 80+?
Thankouy for taking the time to hear me out =)
