Nope, I don't really wanna talk about it.

GPAs:
French 81
History 80
English 75
Physics 67
Calculus 58

Anyway, good things: I TOTALLY GOT AN EXCELLENCE AND A MERIT FOR THE HISTORY ESSAYS I PWN YOU. <3

And, and, I didn't get French schol but
I GOT ENGLISH SCHOL

OMG

!!

So yeah. *thrilled*

Bad things (only one, really) I failed two calc papers. >.< I really thought I'd done better than that. So bleeyah. But, I got 13 credits for it.. kinda annoys me because it's not 14 but it's enough. And that was all I failed.

Good stuff, Tui- the NCEA marking system confuses the heck out of me (coming from an old dinosaur from the old system lol), but from the looks of things, you've done great! If it's any help, I sooo know what it feels like not to do as well as you hoped- in my 7th form year, I aimed to get 400 plus points in Bursary (over 5 subjects), which would have meant at least 5 scholarships. I ended up with only 336 (which is still a decent A Bursary) and I cried for days! That's Marsden for ya though- it's not enough just to get an A Bursary, your marks have gotta be through the roof in order to be seen as anything worthwhile. Is QMC the same?
So yeah, great job, don't be so rough on yourself. I know everyone says this but it''s no reflection on what your real abilities are, and at Uni no-one's gonna care!

Heh, I didn't give a damn what I got for Bursary because I could go to uni on my sixth form marks. So I took sixth form film and barely tried in any classes, instead I focussed on enjoying my social equals and getting into conversations with my teachers.

And, strangely enough, it felt then like Uni feels now. I think I'm doing alright in uni too.

I could get into Uni with my sixth form marks as well (in fact, I was seriously considering skipping 7th form altogether), but back then I was a MASSIVE overachiever, and even though I knew in my heart that Bursary didn't really matter a heck of a lot, I had to get the best marks in everything otherwise I'd end up hating myself. I come from a family of overachievers and was part of an overachieving school, so that didn't help. Times have changed, that's for sure...

I was supposed to be from a fmaily of overacheivers but actually we're all very comfortable with doing fairly adequately. Our teachers and bosses are always telling us we can do better and we ask "are we doing bad" "no, you're very good actually" "then where's the problem?"

But it's great for people whdo go that far, they know how well they can do and shine. Just so long as they stop complaining about exams when we all know they'll do fine

I can't help stressing about exams. Overachieving's been drilled into me and besides, if I think my marks are going to be awful I'm never disappointed.

If there's one constant on all my school reports, it's "could do better". As you say, "did I pass? Then, get off my case!"

(that and, "needs to stop picking holes in the Bible duing Religious Studies")
