RAEVILLE

Thursday, August 23, 2007

I got a couple of my trial exam papers back, and for once, I am considering the idea of keeping the figures to myself this time. Perhaps the shame of not achieving the marks that deep down inside, I felt I could do with the amount of work I put in (like Maths, for example) really hit me. The results, if you haven't already guessed from the previous sentences of this entry, were shithole.

But no worries, right? It's just the trials. The real thing is in less than two months I believe, so I've still got time --- I must've been living in a dream thinking that. After a long (well, it seemed to be long) one hour session with my new English/History tutor on Tuesday (I will from now on be referring to him as Peter, as that is his name), the fact that I don't deserve to fail the HSC struck a nerve and I feel so determined to set things onto the right track. I now have a study plan that I've been following, and there's a constant want to study and to take things more seriously than before. It's such a good sign. Thing is, I really hope this motivation and determination stays with me for the rest of the year -- hell, the rest of my life.

There are only less than 8 weeks left till the HSC, and there's just no time to fuck around anymore. There are no second chances now. It's all downhill from here.

This weekend! Saturday. UTS and USYD are having open days. Next Saturday is UNSW, but that's for another blog entry some time in the near future. It'll be great. Hopefully my visit to UTS (finally) will give me a scope on the Visual Communications course I want to do. Since it's post-trials, all the Year 12s are beginning to apply for universities etc etc. It's going to be a busy next couple of weeks!

Better get going now.

Cheers.

PS. Got a new haircut. I feel so much better. I'm considering not growing my hair out. It's stupid.

PPS. Mum gave me these new multivitamins that are supposed to be REALLY good (proven by her doctor or whatever) for memory, health and everything. Or something. Anyway, everytime I remember something, I wonder if that's just me or the new multivitamins doing their thing. Yes, you may refer to me as a nutcase.

RAEVILLE came about some time in the year of 2001. or 2002. it's been so long that i've forgotten already.
it all started here (i doubt the link works anymore though), in a dodgy little blog page. then it moved to here. a year later, and we moved to better things, namely blogspot.

ps. raeville is best viewed on mozilla firefox. just because it's better :)
