I was top for 5 of my subjects, out of 6 just after our half yearly HSC examinations. And then after our half yearlyz, in the holidays, me and my mum went overseas. I had like one month left for my trials yet I told my mum it's ok, I really wanna go and see my cousins (hadn't seen them for four years). So I took all my books and notes and everything.
But the very next day, I happened to be the victim of
an accident!
Like I went with my cousin on his motorbike just around the corner, but my dress got stuck on the bike's tyre and I didn't realise, and I really don't know how everything happened, but when I next opened my eyes I was in the hospital.
I fainted like 5 times within 6 hours, and I injured both my hands, my right eye, the part between my eye-brows, and the entire right side of my body.
Nevertheless, apart from all the physical pain, I was worrieed about the HSC. I was like how the hell am I gonna write in my HSC trials? Especially for my subjects, they were all humanities, so I used to write pages and pages and I loved it too ..
So anyway, the whole two weeks overseas, I didn't look back at my books because every time I intended to, I'd get a head ache and so my perception changed .. I was like, while the time I'm here, I'd rather just enjoy it.
And so I did.
Buttt
When we came back to Australia, I had only 5 days till my trials and I had fogotten like everything I knew ... And when I spoke to my friend .. she was like all prepared and everything and I was like alright bro, you're gonna take my place in everything .. but she kind of motivated me
So afterwards, at school, I did notify my teacher about my injuries and I gave them the doctor certificate and stuff, and on the certificate it was clearly stated that I be given additional time to study for my exams so I could heal and stuff..
But I told my teachers that it doesn't matter, I'm gonna sit for the exams the same day everyone else is because then people might start thinking that it's not fair and stuff.
So those five days of my life were spent completely devoted to my textbooks, I hardly slept or ate ...
And then it was time for my trials, and yeah after we got our results I was still first but only in 4 subjects out of 6.
My friend beat me in Business studies... and she took my spot for Legal studies.
Nevertheless, I still aced the rest of my cohort (I wont call myself smart, I'll just call my cohort dumb=])
I was perfectly fine after that and I had a lot of time to study for the actual HSC .. and I achieved my desired mark
That's all =)
