Omg that science faculty is legit the worst. Apparently one of the male teachers (you can probably guess who) got fired from Ruse or something lmao
Wowwwww lmaoooo. :')))))
Well one of the female teachers used to teach at Sydney tech apparently (a friend said her Bro had her)...I feel so sorry for the guys who would've had her cos she's hopeless...

I've had to self teach myself science since year 7 so I don't give any credit to the teachers for when I came first/second in the class in the past.

Regret not dropping a subject in year 12 :/ probs could've done a lot better if I didn't have so many units

If I could go back I'd probably drop either bio or physics, seiously those subjects killed me. Every. Fucking. Class... Which is very ironic since I'm doing a science degree now...

totally feel you. thats why when i dropped chem i wanted to kms because none of my other subs really required any intellect (except maybe english, but all we are doing right now is watching a movie so..bleh.) all bio is is rote learning/ reading and my class has some incredibly dumb people who dont know anything >.> THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT A TICK (AS IN THE PARASITE) WAS. I WANTED TO CRY. and they ask the dumbest questions that i can tell even the teacher probably questions herself why she is even alive and teaching this class :|

i guess biology is interesting when you think about how the human body works and all, but other stuff like evolution and how plants work i do not care for.
You think thats bad! We had people struggling classifying vertebrates/invertebrates.

I regret not doing English extension, albeit doing it would mean I would have to carry 13 units ):

I regret doing mathematics and not general. I thought at the time of subject selection that I absolutely HAD to have done it to get into a particular uni course and when I found it that wasn't true I figured, eh, I'll just stick with it. Unfortunately I suck at maths and having a bunch of different teachers didn't help. I used having 12 units as a safety net and worked at every other unit to get the atar that I wanted, ignoring maths. I passed but that's it. Dunno how that even happened; I thought I would have gotten like 30%. Not sure if maths was neutral, dragged down my atar, or boosted it slightly. Guess it doesn't matter too much now...Still, I hated it so much XD So so much. Bleh. Regret XD

Regrets: Doing Ext Maths I should have just done Mathematics and not stressed myself out like crazy

Should've done: VA or Physics, I actually really enjoyed these :/

Why does everyone hate Biology. How could you? A lot of the content is about the human body / ourselves - which to me is interesting because it's literally about your body.

Going into Year 12, and not being able to turn back, I picked English Extension to fulfil 12 units but I could've experimented with another subject I might have liked.

Also, Physics, I'm average at it, motion is difficult for me so my teacher said I'm fucked for motors & generators LOL

I hope I enjoy all Physics topics :) but I talked about how I was bad at understanding a lot of concepts, but I still get through my having exam techniques and rote learning to back me up. And she said I might find motors & generators difficult

Regretted the fact that I blinkly took Extension Japanese and stuck with it the entire Year.
Regretted doing English...cause it's English and I am forced into it.

Regretted picking Engineering studies in Year 11 (became a Maths lesson around term 2) I slept through the cassette tape style lessons
