Hmm, well, you guys are really talented and smart.

I'm really impressed with vulgarfraction. Cheh you're so smart! hehe. Really really impressed with everyone. You guys deserve a pat on the back!

Okay, well, this year I got:

2006 National Geographic Channel Australian Geo Comp - HD

2006 AMC for Westpac - D
2006 UNSW Australian Financial Lit. Assessment - D

Didn't do any Olympiads... or the UNSW English Comp (English staff reckons it's bodge, lol, dunno why...)... or the history comp because we were at a geo excursion... science comp - well, I'm just sad at them, always C... LOL... and I was at a debate on the chemistry quiz. So I missed many. But it doesn't matter. These comps don't mean much.

Well done everyone.

We're all a bunch of show-offs. -_-;

Congrats everyone

Science related:
UNSW Science Competition – High Distinction; a few off a prize, sadly (for me, obviously). Yay, science!

They have prizes for science comps too? o__________O There's this year 7 girl at my school who got just one question wrong in the science comp this year, and she only managed a HD. Surely it's just medals then HDs o.0

 

[runnable]

hmm...


Maths: C
Science: D
English: Din have one
Rio Tinto: D


all ive done...

 

[airie]

That's NSGH, right?

... What's, "that"?

Oh, I probably meant Medal. One can construe them as the same...

Thank you, aerie, for your praise.

lol.

 

[Kujah]

Pfft, all these bastardisations of the Engrish language.

Engrish?

 

[PrettyVacant]

www.engrish.com!

 

[Kujah]

lol alright

 

[airie]

My school is not NSGH, but rather, as stated in profile

What?
"lol." isn't standard convention! It's "lol", just "lol".
Pfft, all these bastardisations of the Engrish language.

FYI "." is a full stop that follows "lol".
Pfft. Bastardisation of manners.

 

[SoulSearcher]

Meh, who really cares?

 

[Kujah]

Weird. How did a discussion of competitons turn into a repetition of "bastardisations" and criticising how we type?
