The bandwagon always has heaps of space. ;) Welcome aboard! Love the EngLang selection. How are you finding it in general? Enjoyable?Thank you so much! Honestly, Eng Lang is something I have grown to like, although I do have to polish my knowledge on many of the metalanguage and concepts. But so far, it is enjoyable.
Re: your goals, Arts into teaching sounds awesome. If it were up to you entirely (so, no parental influence whatsoever), what unis would you be considering? :)

If it were up to me entirely, I would definitely still want Melbourne Uni and Monash Uni, but I would also consider other unis [in which my parents would not like haha] like Deakin Uni, RMIT and La Trobe Uni.
No worries!I will definitely look into the courses the other unis have to offer. Thank you so much for the advice!
I think EngLang is something that basically every needs to polish haha, so you won't be alone there. A solid understanding of the metalanguage will put you in a great position, though. I think it's a fantastic subject - I'm glad you broadly enjoy it!
Re unis: cool! When the time comes, I really encourage you not to totally ignore the courses those other unis have to offer. Ultimately, you're the one who'll be studying the course, so it's a good idea to make sure that you're the one making the decision, :)
Great updates! Hope you have a good long weekend, too. ;D Any plans?Yep! I'm going out with my family and some friends to hike somewhere (idk where tho haha). Also, I'm going to study for my Economics SAC.

Awesome, sounds good! I think I'll be spending time with my family and girlfriend - also have a friend's birthday thing on the Saturday night. And then the footy on Monday! ;DSounds relaxing! Hope you enjoyed it all!
Can't wait for your next update!
Well for me next year..
I have English, the next day Eco.... then the next day Bio!!!!
Great schedule. At least ill be finishing early ahaha
Your schedule is actually perfect
Do you know when your oral exam date gets confirmed? That looks like a pretty good exam timetable to me - are you happy with it? Looks like you have a day or two at least between all exams except for Methods & Methods, and that might even be a plus (staying in the Methods zone)!I think my oral exam gets confirmed somewhere in the middle of Term 3. I'm actually really happy with the exam timetable! Aside from Methods, at least I have a day to revise and go through over my notes to prepare myself instead of having them consecutively and making myself more stressed about it :). And even for Methods, like you said, I do think it's good that they are consecutive because the concepts and formulas will still be fresh in my mind!
Well for me next year..Aww man. This means that you're doing Year 12 next year?
I have English, the next day Eco.... then the next day Bio!!!!
Great schedule. At least ill be finishing early ahaha

What's your detailed study topic?兵马俑 is my topic :)
My parents will eventually find out about my results, and will be really upset and mad at me. I also feel I won't live up to my parent's expectations which seem so far away now.
Hey man! Just want to give you some motivation for Chinese :D Don't worry - I repeat - Do. Not. Worry. if you think you got sentences mixed up or if you don't know what you're talking about. Most of the time the examiners don't know much about particular topics either so if you just act like you know what you're talking about and that you're confident with your information, then they'll believe you!Thanks for the encouragement! That's really sweet of you. Apart from the fact that I'm Asian but don't sound Chinese at all, I think I'll be able to pass haha. But thanks again for the encouragement!SpoilerPersonal anecdote - when I did my oral the super picky examiner asked me to name some important people related by my Detailed Study. I named 3, then the lady was like, "apart form those three, do you know any more?". I only actually learnt three so panicked internally, so I did the only thing I could do, which was to say a random name and add some random achievements to make it sound like I TOTALLY knew my stuff.
I'm not saying that's always a good idea, but I just want you to know that most examiners won't know the content as well as you do so be confident!! :)
And also don't worry about pronunciation lol. Many people who do Chinese SL aren't even Chinese so examiners are pretty relaxed around pronunciation. For some extra reassurance, I did SLA as a 100% white guy who can't speak Chinese without sounding like white people trying to be racist and still did decent on the oral. So if I can do it, so can you!
