[QUOTE=Lonestriper;33726484]USYD I am going to wank through 3 years of an art degree, enjoying every fucking second oh also I got 88.7[/QUOTE] Arts is pretty great if get the right subjects. What are you thinking of majoring in? [editline]15th December 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Dark_Light;33724623]93.40 Finally relieved of high school and all its bullshit. What unis are NSW people looking at?[/QUOTE] What course are you thinking of?

I feel left out. I'm only in year 12 next year.

I'm only in year 11 next year. But I'll be 18 so it's all good.

[QUOTE=Contag;33728125]What course are you thinking of?[/QUOTE] B Arts and Engineering (software major). Probably Macquarie or UNSW. Only after a year off though.

whats the plan for the gap year?

[QUOTE=Faren;33728895]I feel left out. I'm only in year 12 next year.[/QUOTE] Same here! Anyways my older brother (who just got his HSC results back) got a 79.something, and fortunately he is legible for a 4 point increase (don't know for what reason though), so he is just able to do a bachelor of computer science course, which he really wanted to do.

[QUOTE=Contag;33729727]whats the plan for the gap year?[/QUOTE] Make music and make money.

@Contag - Ancient History probably

[QUOTE=devotchkade;33715209]Ew math.[/QUOTE] Dropped General first week of VCE. Best decision of my life. [editline]15th December 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Dark_Light;33730060]Make music and make money.[/QUOTE] You spend money so quickly when you're not doing school or uni. During semester my expenses are pretty much coffee, lunch and beer. During holidays everything seems to cost money and I spend like $200 a week on nothing.

[QUOTE=Mlisen14;33730908]Dropped General first week of VCE. Best decision of my life. [/QUOTE] I hear you. I dropped Math halfway through year 10; the school I was attending (Melbourne Girls') told me that I wouldn't be able to get into a good uni (and consequently FAIL AT LIFE, natch) because it meant I couldn't do it for VCE. I told them I didn't give a fuck. Don't regret a thing. [editline]15th December 2011[/editline] Don't regret changing schools, either.

eating salad at 10:30 because I'm a healthy motherfucker

math is hard

Another stupid question about TAFE courses then I'll leave you people alone I tried to get into Cert I and Cert II of IT (and whichever I was offered I'd accept) And I've been offered a place into Cert II. My careers counsellor lady at school says as long as you're not completely retarded with computers, which I'm not, it should be fine to start on Cert II without having done I. So long story short would it sound like a good idea to just start on II and go from there? They also made a huge deal on the website for it about how colleges etc are different to secondary schools and all that jazz, anything overly interesting I should know? They'll no doubt explain there but it will no doubt be a boring one.

I just realised, all the fucking first years at uni next year. shit.

Cert 2 does save some work if you are going to get a cert 3 later but only a little [editline]16th December 2011[/editline] Year 12 next year fml

[QUOTE=mr apple;33733844]howdy fokes hows it hangin[/QUOTE] Hello mrs. Krabapple

that sucks about molly meldrum. i hope he pulls through

when I was young, I always thought he was a child molester not really sure why

Its still freezing here in Sydney, can't wait till next Tuesday moving to Queensland.

[QUOTE=DogGunn;33733616]moving from monash to rmit[/QUOTE] Another RMIT person to join the ranks. I did it mid-year. And why are people complaining about ATARs. I got 62.8 and I got into my course. And I have a friend who got 35 or something and she finished one year at TAFE and was awarded to study teaching, which is what she wanted to do in the first place.

Girlfriend got 99.30 so I'm now comparatively retarded.

[QUOTE=DogGunn;33733616]moving from monash to rmit[/QUOTE] Why?

[QUOTE=Mlisen14;33747987]Girlfriend got 99.30 so I'm now comparatively retarded.[/QUOTE] Bah, aggregates and numbers. Meaningless in the long term. Richard Feynman tested 'high' on IQ tests, but not genius level - regardless the guy WAS a fucking genius. You can try to stick everyone under a bell curve, normalize and aggregate their scores, but in the end it's not gonna dictate how well you do - the human mind is far too complex to quantify it so easily. The only thing that will dictate how successful you are is how much effort you put into what you're doing it and how passionate you are about it.

Agreed, though. VCE looks for a particularly narrow type of intelligence.
