I can't say that I've done a law degree, or that I've studied at any uni at all for that matter, but I'll give you my two cents anyway. At the end of any Law Degree, regardless of which uni you completed it at, the Law Society allows you to do your practical legal training and then be admitted...

I don't think I'll stick around for D Day. I'm missing out on a day at the Entrance to fo to the Morning Tea so I'll probably head up the coast right afterwards. It sounds like it would be worthwhile to attend, but what's more important, my holiday or my future? Okay, it's best not to answer...

Looks like I won't be seeing any of you there :( I'm going to the Scholarships Morning Tea. I think the morning tea is for the Vice Chancellor's Leadership Scholarhsip recipients, and the Luncheon is for people who didn't apply, but got really good UAI's and were targetted. I had to apply for...

Thanks for all of the congratulations :D I got 94.1 and the scholarship is worth $5000 a year for up to 5 years. There's also an additional $5000 given for leadership activities.

I'll be there too :D Hooray, people who don't look down on UWS! Gotta love being a Westy

Mathematics didn't count, and thank goodness for that since 72 was my mark. For everyone who's wondering if they would have done better if a different subject was counted, your UAI is calculated so that you receive the best possible outcome (or at least that's what I'm told).

Wow, $10 000 a year is awesome. I'd like to do B Arts/ B Education, and I've definately decided on UWS. I'm a westy at heart, plus they are the only uni that offer a leadership program along with a scholarship. All the best with that other scholarship.

I'd like to be a high school teacher, and at UWS doing Arts first UWS is the only way to go about it :)

I got the Vice Chancellor's Leadership scholarship, so I'm over the moon. Congratulations to you. What courses will you be doing?

Hey hey, It's so great to hear that the next generation will be taught by people who actually want to teach, and not just people who couldn't find a job in the field that they wanted. To everyone who keeps on getting told that they are wasting their high UAI's, I hear ya loud and clear. I got a...

I wrote a speech that was presented by someone from a 'retreat' centre, encouraging people to find their happy place. I had the picture projected onto a screen as part of a slideshow, while the presenter spoke about how much his retreat impacted his daily life. I hope it goes down well, because...

Hey, In my year there are a few people doing quite a few extensions and are doing really well. On the other hand there are just as many who have dropped because they didn't like the workload. In between there are average marks (which are still pretty great for ext subjects) but everybody is...

I'm thinking it's just your school, because nobody had told us a thing. I hope for your sake that it's just a rumour. Another exam would not be fun.

I really like 'The town where time stands still,' it rocks when you get questions about greater understanding. 'The Ivory Trail' is pretty good too. Since its up for a lot of interpretation, you could smush it into just about any thesis/ question, plus I find that visual techniques are a nice...

Go the Doggies! I still have faith in them. They got there last year without Pricey, they can do this without El Masri. Plus we're getting a few of our hot shots back this weekend, I can't wait :D. I would love to see a Broncos v Doggies final, it'll be 1998 all over again, but this time we'll...

That is such an honest thing to do. You certainly made the right decision, I don't think I know many people who would have done the same. Don't have any regrets, because this way you'll be able to sleep at night guilt free.

Since scaling is a complete pain in the butt, I guess all we can do is slave away under a pile of notes and hope for the best :)

A teacher at our school gives us UAI estimates according to some BOS book on scaling, and she basically said that SAM is one of the worst estimaters around. For me, SAM was about 10 points lower than my estimate from school. People who completed their HSC last year also said that SAM was pretty...

Just some general advice. If crying makes you feel better, go for your life. We could all do with some sort of outlet during such a tough year. If it just makes you feel downright depressed, or if you are crying uncontrollably, maybe there's something more to it, that needs to be checked out.

Finally I'm done with my first draft. It is so unbelievably superficial, but my teachers wanted to see something. I gave them something... pity it was a load of garbage lol.
