What do you mean by that? Isn't it right to aim for the attainable or did you mean "aim for the attinable" ?
sorry - i meant to say don't aim for the unattainable ;)

Everything is attainable. You just need to know how to attain it.

I am just angry that I foolishly underestimated the subject! That's totally not who I am and I should not have done that. That kind of approach towards any subject is just unacceptable and I am not very pleased with that.

Well, I can learn from this and hopefully, I can do better next time.
And I thought I push myself hard! I have noticed you take you learning really seriously and I really respect that, I have a problem with procrastination but I'm getting there.

Got another English essay result back: 18/20 alright mark I suppose.
Ext maths test tomorrow though :( I'm stressing.

I'll just keep telling myself that. English is too stupid to try in. If i bothered, i'll need to learn to think like a girl, and that would make me bad at math.
Excuse me? Are you mental, or just plain ignorant? English is one of the most fundamental subjects to do well in if you want to achieve a good UAI. Have you ever wondered why it's the only subject which is compulsary for years 11 and 12? Most, if not all jobs require decent communication skills and sound writing skills in this day and age; whether you want to believe it or not.

I assume that, since you feel you're the smartest person at your school, you'll be working to attain a good UAI. Maybe you need to sit down and reconsider your views on the subject.

Furthermore, your suggestion that only guys can do well in maths and girls can do well in English is completely out of line. At my school we have a girl coming first in maths, she recently got 100% in her extension maths exam. So maybe you should reconsider your views on this subject as well.

Many people in my school (Sydney Boys High School) excel in both English and Maths. The exact same thing can be said about Sydney Girls.

English is the only compulsory subject in the HSC, if you fail English than you've completely botched your UAI regardless of how well you rank in your other subjects.

Stop whining about how much English "sucks" and start telling yourself that you can improve and do consistently in all your subjects. One of my friends used to be ranked <120 in English but now he's DUX. English is clearly not for everyone but it doesn't hurt to maintain a positive attitude, just keep practising.

French - 22/30 (really disappointed)
2U Maths - 33.5/36 93%, 2/60
Religion - B (pretty okay with that - I didn't study cos I've been forced into doing it and then only about 16 people/150 got A's, and the average was C)
Physics - 24.5/30 (2/9)
Economics - 38/40

Uh yeah.. okay start, but I'm gonna try a bit harder next time.

For chemistry I hit 90% for a test, which I was pleased with. Most of the stuff was new to me, but I grabbed the concept in time and reaped a good mark =]

In 2u English I scored 17/20 for some writing composition. Even if it was 85%, I feel I didn't deserve it because most of it was bullshit and not much effort was used.

It's what I hate about English. It's very possible to try your hardest and get bad marks as well as perform well without effort. Usually it just depends on whether the English teacher agrees with your opinion or not.

as people have said on countless occasions

don't be too upset when you get 85% (a VERY good mark) in what you thought was your best subject

year 11 is meant to be challenging - accept that

If that's directed at me, I meant that 85% actually was a good mark (English is my worst subject).

I'm saying that sometimes its easy to get good marks, but it is also possible to try hard and get bad marks.
