Well today is my final exam, and I have been struck down with a horrible cold!:bomb: Now for everyone who said doing 12 units was a waste, I think it has paid off now :)

lol, good job :)

I seriously regret doing 11 units now :( on account of the fact that I'm going to fail this exam today =DDDDD

Hmm...kinda kicking myself for not having done at least 12 (considering that I spent many of my study/free periods talking, drawing, taking photo's etc =.=')

It would have been nice to have that...i don't know, buffer zone?

=P

I think it's more the OP isn't so worried if they do bad in this exam because they have 12 units and they assume this subject is their worst and won't count.

yeah, my temperature was 39 when I did my 3U maths test yesterday. I would have done much better if I wasnt in my worst condition.

missed out on 18 marks in that test...

Well you have the opportunity of doing it again next year if you need to (assuming you are indeed an 08er) :)

Well.. i don't see what's so hard about doing 12 units... i used to do 14, and even then the workload wasn't too much... but, i dropped my extra 2 units about half a year ago, so maybe the work just hadn't gotten that hard at that point yet....

but, still. 12 units really isn't a lot. and, isn't it good to have back up units, just in case you botch up a subject?

I guess it also depends on what subjects you do, coz some are comparatively harder than others...

Ping, me getting a good UAI will lose alot of its appeal if I cant go to the same Uni with you (or at least the same city)... as much as my parents warn me about being too emotional I cant help it sometimes.

BUT, I am NOT giving up on you until I see your UAI with my own eyes!

oh well, i have 13 units up my sleeve, which is unfortunately not going to make up for the fact that my worst 3 units are my 3 units of english and they have to count!

how about we refrain from the personal attacks, and try to keep a sense of mateship, yeah?

What's with all these ad hominems? we don't even all know each other, so lay off.
