ah dammit what a freaking letdown

possibly an clever hoax easily fooling those of us excited for UMAT...

Yes...it's a very very small school >__> we have another 30 kids doing standard and ESL.

Hmm eh....well I tried to get my teachers something that related to their subjects. I actually made little felt badges with their 'catchphrases' on them. Creative subjects? Give them a nicely bound copy of your work? Class card? Nice brand of coffee/tea? New stationery they need? But hey I...

Are there any units at all in either the USYD or UNSW history majors that focus on Irish history? I'm having trouble finding any...

Gotcha, thanks. Well, jap speaking is over...and I think that went well haha

bump..?

Yeah I'm a little bummed out that I couldn't quite get to the top by the end of the internal assessments for some subjects. Hopefully my surplus of units will help me if I get crap scaling in one or two things - I also did IPT last year and got 91 (bleh) so I do have 3 units to scrap... Thanks...

These ranks are my final ranks after trials, please estimate my ATAR :D? Adv. =1/40 EE1. 4/8 EE2. 2/6 Final internal mark 95% Modern. 2/30 Final internal mark 93% Hisext. 1/11 Art. 2/11 Jap Beginners. 20/120 (OHS) School rank will probably fall this year around 40.

update: received email from the faculty telling me it was fine, hooray :D

gee that is a long time...well thanks nonetheless, one less thing to worry about right now :)

oy oy I wasn't overanalyzing the benefits of pretending to have certain hobbies....my hobby actually is quilting. haha

When are we notified as to whether or not our work has been nominated for showcase?

maybe a hobby that shows some kind of sustained commitment and/or dedication? gardening, quilting, training for marathons (hah), anything that shows significant ability to stick to the program?

It was the UNSW app.

Thanks guys, I have emailed them. But damn I feel stupid now...

I mailed in my app two days ago - today I realised that I hadn't got my academic referee to initial each page (but the ATAR estimate page she filled out) What should I do? Do you think they'll accept it anyway?

Ah you have misunderstood my post. I am not saying that perfectionism suggests immaturity. I am saying that feeling 'demotivated forever' is not in fact perfectionist at all; it is an immature inability to adjust to failure. The perfectionist would be spurred on to work harder from a 2nd place...

I assume you've been to see a doctor, right? Because curiously enough, a similar thing did happen to me last year - typical deficiency/low bp symptoms. I went to see my GP, found out it was mostly just low bp and felt tremendously better. Motivation...grew unexpectedly for me. I realised I...

"If I don't get the mark I want, I completely give up." It does sound a little princess-y to me, too. Part of being successful is accepting failures and disappointments and using them to strengthen your motivation. How can you have no 'willpower' but 'perfectionism and high expectations'...
