    thoughts on distance ed?

    I guess it depends on the subject. I did biology via DSODE in year 12 in 2016 (it was condensed so prelim and HSC in same year) If you stayed ontop of the weekly learning they set out it was good - but to get the most out of the classes/zoom calls you needed to be ontop of that weekly...

    Canobolas high is pretty bad. One of my sisters friends got set on fire there a few years ago.

    what's marine studies like???

    IIRC it’s a non-atar subject? I did a slightly modified version of it in year 9 (it was based on the 11-12 syllabus) I found it super interesting, and defs has practical applications in the world. I guess it depends on your goals/wants out of it. I learnt a lot about boat licensing and rules...

    How do i become ok with getting a low atar? (+a note to myself in december)

    My atar was in the low 60’s I got early entry to medical radiation science, and pharmacy! Ended up in nursing tho, and now I’m doing my postgrad. I’m very happy with where I’m at in life. If you get a bad atar it’s not the end of the world. There’s still options and pathways to get to where...

    what jobs are there similar to doctor?

    That’s why you take into account average salary before leaping into something - don’t wanna get pigeonholed into poverty - but you also don’t wanna get pigeonholed into a job you despise either just for the money Honestly, like being interested/genuine interest in medical stuff has helped so...

    “Book Club”?

    I can’t stop thinking about a little life. Honestly it’s a great book and I’m considering rereading it. I recently read in memoriam by Alice Winn, it was a good read, slow at the beginning but kept me hooked. It is another one of those books that stays in your mind, and isn’t necessarily a...

    gap year

    I took a gap year to save up to move for uni I’m glad I did. I was eligible for Centrelink and that gave me rent assistance and study pay, but even at its max amount I’d only get $250/week which at the time only covered the rent. It also took like 4 months for my Centrelink to get approved and...

    What school system are/were you in?

    I had a mix of schools throughout my education. Started out in catholic private, moved to public comprehensive, then moved to private “independent” but it was really just too catholic and culty to be backed by the church as a catholic school. I think the whole public/vs private debate is...
