I would love to visit most of Europe, also Turkey, USA (definitely Hawaii), Canada, Central America, Brazil, Peru (mainly for Machu Pichu), South Africa and some Polynesian islands like Samoa, American Samoa, Niue, Cook Islands and French Polynesia. Also Fiji is a must.

Definitely recommend Mr M Pahor and Mr PG Brown - they're amazing!

In the handbook, it will say what subjects you need to take in the first semester, under 'Stage 1 Semester 1' - in this case your subjects would be: BABS1201, SCIF1111, CHEM1011 (or CHEM1031) and MATH1041. So yeah, follow the program structure in the handbook.

Depends how much you initially know about physics or not. But either way, you should definitely do it. In my opinion, first semester physics becomes pretty difficult half way through the semester, and it would be helpful if you had some previous knowledge about it, so you 'get' the nature of...

The 'Other' class is the problem solving lecture. You're given a booklet of problems at the beginning of the semester, covering each topic. And yeah, you have to enrol in that lecture. The funny thing is that almost nobody goes to it - unless there's a lecturer like Joe Wolfe there.

1) Half Life 2 2) Far Cry 3 3) Civilization IV 4) Team Fortress 2 5) Assassin's Creed II

A friend of mine claimed to not have studied as well, and he got 98.45

Yerp. B Engineering (Mechanical)/B Science If not, then just B Mechanical Engineering.

Consider the topic of pseudocide (faking death), I wrote about this in my creative story for the half yearlies and got 14/15. Get some inspiration by watching TV shows such as 24, Chuck or any other action/drama program. Now relating it to Belonging is a matter of how you reflect the emotions of...

You need to re-adjust your body clock. Try sleep at 10pm and wake up at 7am (9 hours). 8 hours is the optimal amount for sleep, and up to 10 hours is very good. If you keep this routine consistent, you'll hopefully have a better sleeping pattern.

Yeah, you'll get in, the bonus points are automatic and thus will have saved you haha

That's a good goal to aim for. Break that goal down into smaller goals such as aiming to score >95% in all assessments, and you should be fine. You got to remain really motivated throughout the year to achieve this. Don't make the same mistake I did, which was to attain a goal of 95 ATAR and...
