Take subjects I actually enjoy in my senior high school years.
Problems... 2 years ago

These probably come from going to an all girls private school, but blame my parents for that…

Problem #1: SDD (Software Design & Development) wasn’t on the list of subjects we could select this year. Turns out they weren’t going to run the course due to the fact that only 2 people signed up for it last year.

Problem #2: IPT also wasn’t there. When I rang up the school they told me they “forgot” to put it in there. This was on the last day we had for subject selection so I’m pretty sure I’m the only person who chose it.

So now the only subject I’m really looking forward to next year is Physics.

Great start.
>.<



Get a good mark in my school certificate
At the rate I'm going... 2 years ago

...it looks like this isn’t gonna happen.
I just don’t care about it enough to study.
I mean, what DOES the school cert actually go towards?? NOTHING!
Unless you plan on leaving in year 10.
Which I would never do in a million years.
I’ll still leave this up here though – I might be particularly lucky on the day and get most of the answers right…



Make a list of 100 things about me (read all 4 entries…)
11-15 2 years ago

11. I have these annoying dark circles under my eyes that seem to stay there no matter how long I sleep and make me look like someone out of a horror movie.

12. I still had an imaginary friend when I was 13.

13. Those little holes that shoot out warm water at the bottom of pools used to scare the hell out of me. Sometimes they still do.

14. I went to an information evening at UTS and somehow, out of the 200 or so people that were there, managed to be the only girl.

15. I have 2 trolleys on my desk right now.
