yeah, i'm also in year 12, my b/f just started uni this year.. it works fine, well way better than fine.. he wishes that he was still at school with me though- mainly cos he wishes he had 2 deal with stressed out HSC times at the same time as me, rather than going through it himself and then having 2 watch me go thru it later.. the gap isnt really that big, and i'll be with him at uni next year anyway.. it also means that we dont get annoyed at each other if one beats the other in tests (we r both soooo competitive, if we were in the same grade, we'd annoy the hell out of one another cos we mostly have the same HSC subjects..)
