Brenden connected the dots cause he remembered I attended MHS and I posted asking about tutesmart on these forums ages ago. About my essays being fine, I’ll just stare intently at that 5/10 argument analysis. Also, my whole journal is just a place for ranting about my teachers.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Should've seen that coming lmaoooo

In all fairness, you'd had a bad day that day essay-wise I think; generally your essays were fine.

And I'm a mean marker anyway as you well know so wouldn't stare too intently at that 5/10.

Love this haha.
This is the type of thing that happens in anonymous forums. A couple of my friends were looking for a year 12 with a last name of zhen throughout my school because they wanted to know who this zhen person was that was posting on atarnotes so much. It’s funny because I was like the last person they suspected and that my last name doesn’t actually doesn’t have zhen in it.

People looking for a Joseph would be none the wiser. ;)

Today, I had one of my mini breakdowns. In 13 more days, I will finish my last exam which is physics. Today, I’ve just been thinking about the all the different people who have been helping and supporting me throughout VCE and that after this year there are going to be lots of people that I won’t be able to keep in contact with.  :'(  I’m feeling pretty depressed that it’s ending so quickly and I wish that I could go back and make a couple more fond memories.

I feel you bro, this was honestly me at the start of the year, like in Term 1...I know, Term 1  :o and I was already worrying about things happening 12 months later. But let me tell that it will pass. It did for me and it will for you. Like zofromuxo, K888 and HopefulLawStudent have said, let time do it's thing. Probably the best words of advice, I can give regarding this. While it's nice and helpful even to keep in touch with everyone, you'll soon find that you'll bond more with some and drift a little with others. This isn't to say don't keep in touch with them, more so be open. Open to change and open to gaining and losing people. Hang in there bro, we've only just started the last sprint of our marathon! Best wishes!

Thanks for the advice.  ;D I guess right now I’m frightened of change, but I should be more open to it and accept that it’s bound to happen.

Today I spent most of the day in the library at Monash university and I just got back home. I did a heap of study and I’m pretty satisfied with what I’ve done today. I was pretty surprised that I spotted quite a few other high schoolers studying for VCE exams in the library. I guess that everyone (including me) is desperate to really nail the rest of their exams. What really bothered me today in the last few hours, when I got back to the library after lunch, was that there were people talking pretty loudly while everyone else was silent and studying. It’s one of the things that really annoys me. Anyone else have a similar experience?

To horribly generalise: welcome to uni. :-\

I’ve studied quite a bit for methods, but I’m worried that I’ll drop marks for stupid mistakes. I dropped like 8 marks in the 2012 exam and they were nearly all minor mistakes because I didn’t pay enough attention to the question. I’ve been keeping a list of these mistakes, but sometimes I repeat the mistake anyway. Hopefully, I can really drill out these stupid mistakes by exam time. Also been spending too much time listening to see you again, cause listening to sad music in a depressing time of my life is obviously going to make it better.  :P

I’ve been to the law library before and I feel awkward going there as a high school student, especially if I’m in my school uniform. I’ve been going to mathesons, which is usually quiet, but there are some exceptions.

yeah some uni students even don't like going in because of the law students ahah

Matheson I sometimes go. There are some "quiet" areas not sure if they are as strict as law but definitely quiet. Other places would be the basement of Hargraves library. (EDIT: beaten by J41)

I go state sometimes ahah but usually only early in the semester when I have time to hangout in the city  :P and also because you need a UoM student card to be in melbourne uni's libraries
