    'Hermitism' and it's devices...

    I know "hermitism" isn't a word, but I'm sure you all get my drift. I want a UAI 95+, and I just got two dissapointing trial exam marks back... The other 3 were good though. I've tampered with the idea before, but now I know I need to become a hermit for the next few months till the HSC is...
