<p>i have 5 hours and 20 minutes till i get my leaving exam results.
im convinced im not gonna rank within top 10% let alone top5% let alone top 3%.
oh no.
oh no.
oh no.</p>
<p>Oh, shush. Go play something till you get your results.</p>
<p>play? well, i was k-dramaing.
but im getting nervous-er.
i did one of those predicter-things and i ended up with a percentile of 90point-something.
holymoly.</p>
<p>90-point something not good? :-O</p>
<p>lol, its a ranking, not a mark.
of course a ninety-something mark is good, unless its an easy course.
90-point something means youre only in the top 10% of the state.
97 means top 3% etc. I NEED A MINIMUM OF 97 TO GET INTO MY COURSE.
ARRRRRGh.</p>
<p>What course? GOOD LUCK.</p>
<p>Soso. What’s it like living in Sydney?</p>
<p>ahhah, international studies and law at university of new south wales is my backup, lols.
living in sydney? the weather is weird these days… it fluctuates from low twenties and showery to thirties and freaking hot in the space of 16 hours.</p>
<p>Really, soso? We’re gonna talk about the weather now?</p>
<p>Ooooooh lawwwwwwwww.</p>
<p>well. my brain capacity is filled with stress.
so i revert to inane autopilot.
‘hi, how are you? yes, the weather’s lovely.’ etc.
laww. yeah…</p>
<p>sora, I just turned down medicine in UNSW for the States, even if its not a sure thing.</p>
<p>Yeah, US rocks so much more, dont worry about UNSW.</p>
<p>Totalllllllllly.</p>
<p>If I stay here I’m gonna have to do law as well. It’s practically my family business.</p>
<p>If I stay here I’m probably going to do medicine. </p>
<p>But thats why I wanna go to the States. I’m still so undecided!! (And I know all about the difficulty of admission to med schools for intls, no need to worry)</p>
<p>I don’t think most 18 year olds can say for sure what they want to do for the rest of their lives. I mean they may have an inclination, but…</p>
<p>That is SO TRUE. And even if we DO KNOW, isn’t it only FAIR to let us at least EXPLORE other things so we can know what we want FOR SURE?!</p>
<p>Dude, HOW MUCH I MOANED ABOUT THIS WHEN I WAS IN 10TH GRADE. It’s BARBARIC that we have to have a rough idea of our future here in India IN THE TENTH GRADE. !!!</p>
<p>Americans don’t know how good they’ve got it.</p>
<p>Heck yeah. I would KILL to take a bunch of APs too.</p>
<p>AAAH! <em>someone kills me</em></p>
<p>LMAO.</p>
