Ugh I know how that feels, French school is actually pretty brutal haha

Definitely French. Legal Studies if I want to feel like I'm doing something serious and productive but I'm in reality just mindlessly regurgitating notes.

On n'est pas obligé d'être francophone pour réussir au cours de français. En fait, ma prof m'a dit que bien des francophones qui font French Continuers/Extension ont du mal à réussir à la matière car ils croient qu'ils ne sont pas obligés d'étudier pour les examens puisqu'ils parlent couramment...

17YO female, 174 cm, 63 kg. Heaviest I've ever been...the dreaded slowing of the metabolism may be underway for me!

Happy to share notes with someone who isn't at my school (my year group = competitive and sneaky). PM from anyone with mostly humanities subjects would be appreciated!

Have fun, but for god's sake do your maths homework because that's the only homework that's truly important (mentally punches my Year 10 self in the face)

Voted 'Meh' too because the majority of my studying has been exclusively for Legal Studies (idk why, it's not even my favourite subject) and watching movies in French and feeling like it's studying. I have no English creative stories written apart from a recycled one from Year 11. Oh well...

My sister's whole year did that for muck-up, and they did every toilet in the school. Chaos ensued

Je suis d'accord avec toi « likeaBOS » que l'Extension soit la meilleure matière à l'école ! Il n'y a que deux élèves dans ma classe mais moi j'adore ça ! On a des discussions qui ne se trouvent pas du tout en cours de French Continuers ou aux autres matières en fait. Cependant, on n'est qu'au...

En ce qui concerne les accents, moi je me sers de ce site-web: Type French accents - online French keyboard. Voilà, on peut taper les accents en français et puis on fait un copier-coller. Vous avez pas besoin de même changer votre clavier !

Oh yes I also got a detention for pulling a prank on a girl at camp in Year 10 (admittedly it was pretty cruel)

In Year 9 I managed to skip a LOT of classes (rebellious stage yes), my school had a bad role-taking system and I basically got away with skipping class after class after class. In Year 10, I was called to the office when they finally checked the attendance system and realised I had skipped...

To get back at teachers who treated me like a dumb bitch when I was younger + get into my desired course (+ beat all my brothers and sisters haha)

English is relatively easy compared to other languages. Yes of course learners will find some difficulty with it, but it's like that for EVERY language. The only real problem is some of its inconsistency in grammar (exceptions etc.) and probably listening to native speakers (I'm going to = I'm...

Intelligence is of no use if you don't apply it in a way that benefits you.

Try as hard as possible to give up the leave-it-to-last-minute habit from now on...even if it's just for the HSC. If I can do it, anyone can.

Depends on how serious you are with your studies. If you want to do well in Year 11, you'll find that you'll step up your game a lot. If you just want to simply pass tests, the only real difference is that exam blocks are longer. This is from my personal experience, I spent half of Year 11...

See how you do in Year 11 Continuers and decide whether you'll pick up an extra unit at the start of Year 12. Continuers is quite a step up from Year 9/10, bear in mind.

You need to take into account the sheer fatigue that comes with language immersion. Don't feel too bad if you don't consistently reach 1-2 hours of study a day. From my exchange experience, French school is EXHAUSTING - went from bloody 8:10am to 5:20pm all day erry day except for those glorious...

Did the exam today, concluded that anyone who explores 3 themes in 40 minutes has superhuman strength in their hands. Still, I think I went okay, considering the fact most people didn't finish.
