exactly the same reasons
except initially I did ext eng because I decided to give it a try, then discovered that it was hell. I initially didn't choose physics cos I dismissed it as "too nerdy" lol yes I know it's a lame reason.
After year 11 started, I considered/wanted to change from eco to physics. But I JUST missed the opportunity because someone else did exactly the same thing and took the last spot in the other English Extension class (I would have to change heaps of lines). So I couldn't change subjects and just accepted my situation.
then I kept getting owned by eco essays, looked at my mid-course report and thought "oh shit what am I going to do, I'm gonna die...!"
