Hello everyone! I figured I'd go ahead and try my hand at a first post.

1. What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)
I am currently in Year 10, studying Specialist Maths, English Language and Japanese Second Language, all Units 1/2. In regards to Year 10 subjects, I'm doing History, English/Literature, Classical Studies and The Craft of Writing (which is a class about creative writing).

2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)
I really hate The Princess Bride. We wrote an essay about it in Year 7 and most of my classmates loved it, but I despised it. It's just such a dumb movie, like, what is its purpose? I guess I just could not find the humour in it.

3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).
Probably just a simple pistol. Small, precise and effective. Maybe two pistols. And a backup.

4. Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve? (Optional)
I don't really know. I'm hoping my subjects in the following years will help me decide what to do with my life, but I think I want to end up doing something I love. I'm interested in English and the humanities, I guess I just want to be able to study what I like and be happy. Money is a worry, though.

Welcome aboard, DiegoM! ;D Do you plan to continue with some of these 1/2s next year (so the 3/4 in Year 11)? :)

Thank you.  ;D

Thank you, and yes, next year I will be doing English Language 3/4 and Maths Methods 3/4 (I did the 1/2 last year). I'll be repeating Japanese though to do the 3/4 in Year 12, since I want more preparation to do my best.  :D

1. What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)
I'm currently in Year 11, taking English Advanced, English Extension 1, Maths Advanced, Maths Extension 1, Biology, Economics, Legal Studies and Multimedia.

2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)
I hate The Boy, it had a solid plot but fuck, that shit was terrifying to watch. I literally had the pause the movie every minute or so to mentally prepare myself for the fucked up shit that was coming.

3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).
Not sure, probably just a sword. I'd probably end up voluntarily succumbing to the zombies though, too much of a pussy to bother putting up a fight for a lost cause hahaha.

4. Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve? (Optional)
English is my absolute favourite subject, but I can never seem to cut down on my essays. My word count is always above and beyond the limit, which kills me everytime, so it would be nice if I got into the habit of being concise more frequently. I hope I'm also able to improve on drawing links back to the thesis on the spot. Also, I really hope I'm able to grasp maths solidly because I've been struggling with it so bad recently. And the thing is, I'm not bad at the subject at all; almost all of the marks I lose in exams are due to careless arithmetic error. I'm literally considering dropping Maths Extension as a result of this. That brings me to my next point, time. I find it incredibly difficult to complete exams within the time limit, so I hope it's something which I'll be able to improve on this year. Career wise, I want to be a physician specialising in the ER (typical, I know) or a graphic designer. I can't distinguish whether I genuinely want to pursue med or if I've just been too ingrained in medical drama shows. I'm really into motion graphics and Photoshop and stuff like that, hence the interest in graphic design.

...

Welcome to the forums Lumeronia! (I just answered your question in the English section, I hope it helps a little, keen to help you with that essay!)

You do a cool mix of subjects. Science, maths, english, ICT. Really awesome set ;D

Don't worry - It is the start of Year 11. Difficulties are natural, mistakes can be fixed. Don't drop anything you enjoy based purely on results, especially at this early stage! ;D be sure to let us know if we can help in any way :)

Cool career paths (very different)!! Be sure to stop by our huge UMAT section if you need any advice on Med entry in an undergraduate capacity. If you come along to some of our events this year, try and get a chance to chat to Naomi (our Bio lecturer) about Medicine! Our events are mostly Year 12 focused, but one is coming up in June that would definitely benefit you - But shhh, can't say anything about that event yet ;)

Hey everyone. I registered a year ago, but have only started posting recently and found this thread only today so here goes.
1. What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? (Mandatory)[/b]
I'm in Year 12 right now, currently studying Standard English (Was not allowed into advanced English since I was "not from an australian school", Mathematics Extension 1, Mathematics Extension 2, Physics and Chemistry, but have also completed the HSC a year earlier for 2 Unit Mathematics which resulted in me dropping Biology at the start of 2017
2. What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. (Mandatory)[/b][/b][/b][/b][/b]
I really, really hate the second Maze Runner movie, The Scorch Trials. There was no real plot and it was basically, run, talk, run, talk, run, dramatic talk, end with fancy CGI
3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).
A bow and a quiver full of fancy trick arrows. Why? I love the TV show Arrow as well as Legolas from Lord of the Rings
4. Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve? (Optional)
Hoping to be a person that inspires other and help people. A fantastical dream would be to build an Iron Man suit, but more realistically, it would be to start getting into technology and work for a technological company one day. The other dream would be to go far with my music. Have a passion for music and have played the guitar daily for the past two years. Was not allowed to take Music in school, because it fell in the same subject line as Chemistry, but I take part in HSC performances of my friends and perform on school assemblies. In a nutshell, I want to be someone who goes far to influence other people with my music or with technology

12. IPT, 2 unit maths, Modern History, Business Studies, English Advanced

Don't really watch movies. Bad ones I tend to forget about instantly. Gotta say Whale Rider from Y7 extension English had a terrible plot and the main character was inherently unlikable for a supposedly inspiring female protagonist.

3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? (Mandatory).
Wouldn't bother fighting.

3. In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice?
I'm right into dystopian and apocalyptic novels, so I think I'd have to arm myself with a crossbow in a zombie apocalypse, so I could kill from long range. Although a sword would be cool, I wouldn't want to get zombie blood all over my fashionable ATAR Notes T-Shirt.
SUPER delayed reply but this pisses me off a bit because like... 1) crossbows are inaccurate over long range. 2) literally rule number one of zombie choosing weapons is "don't choose something with limited ammunition (i.e., gun). I thought you were better than that, howeigh.
✌️just do what makes you happy ✌️

Hi !

What year level are you in right now, and what are your subjects? i'm a year 10 and most of the subjects i'm doing now are core: english, maths (advanced), general science, careers/civics/law, history, and Phys Ed. But my electives are Japanese, Run your own business (the y10 prerequisite for Business management though i doubt i'll continue), and Maths Methods Preparation (another prerequisite).

What movie do you most passionately hate? Provide justification. Woa there's a lot. For starters the whole divergent series. Though i haven't read the books and can't really judge them, i absolutely despise shailene woodley and can't sit through any of the films she's in.

In the event of a zombie apocalypse, what would be your weapon of choice? Baseball bat. I'm terrible at sport and anytime we play baseball/softball/something along those lines, i have to sit out because i have the habit of throwing the bat through the air after i hit the ball. Smart, yeah?

Who do you want to be as a person, what do you want to achieve? More than anything i want to make a difference. I'm probably don't have what it takes to be a doctor or a police officer, so i'd want to be be a politician, sit in parliament, make laws... that kind of thing. Its just a shame most people see all politicians and greedy and power hungry, when some just want to create change  :-\.

If you had to summarise your life in a paragraph, what would you say? Don't really know about this one. I was born/used to live in a country town where the only real career paths you could chose from were in agriculture or nursing, neither of which i liked. Eventually i moved to the city and all i can say is 'eye-opening experience' is the biggest understatement. But now i'm getting good grades and pushing for an ATAR of 90  ;D
Currently year 10 & still working out what i wanna be ;D
