HSC Lamentations

HOW did I mix up 'Civic Crown' with 'laurel wreath'?? Holy fuck the examiner's going to be laughing when he/she discovers that Caesar allegedly received a fucking laurel wreath for bravery from the King of Bithynia. Fml fml fml fml fml.

EDIT: Panicking a little less now. Googled and discovered that the Civic Crown WAS actually in the form of a laurel wreath. Okay. Good to know my brain didn't completely make that up, although obviously the significance of such an honour was downplayed since I didn't actually mention it by name. But you know, whatever. I should REALLY stop panicking.

Also HOW did I manage to, upon finishing with about an hour left in the exam, return to Sparta, and abandon it halfway through a sentence in order to redo my Caesar essay and then forget about it??????????????

There goes the possible top ten state ranking in ancient.

Also, interesting article about the extension 1 maths exam this year:

I think its horrors were overtly exaggerated, but yeah it wasn't a pretty exam.

Oh goddddd I think that 99.7 is definitely out of reach now. Will have to settle for UTS law. Try to maintain a distinction average and transfer after a year. Absolutely devo.

:'(

Will try to redeem self in ext english and legal.

Is it sad that one's ATAR has become a measure of self worth instead of merely a tool to determine one's entry into a particular university course?

That shouldn't even be a question.
