How did everybody's yearlies go?
I got ranked first in General Maths and Economics, Advanced and Extention English...well let's not go there, ranked 2nd in Business Studies and I don't know about Legal or SOR yet.
I'm in year 11, so I still have another year of high school, but I think I will miss:
