For me, school absolutely sucked. It feels a bit surreal now that I'm forever done with school.
Laugh if you want - I made an HSC countdown timer in year 9 - thinking every single mark would count. In hindsight that was so silly. Future HSC students please don't do this...
I've got a couple of med offers (intl qualifications) and mentally cannot lock in for my upcoming interviews.
There were a couple of really nice teachers but a lot of them were insufferable. One of them screams at their class and gives out 5 million handouts to read and absorb. Another follows rules to the letter. Didn't put enough time into maths extension 2, but who really cares about 3d vectors after school (not me, probs maths geniuses would!)
I am so very glad that I never have to step foot on that campus EVER AGAIN. Also excited for uni!!!
