Morning, Claude. I just fiinished my English exam. It was OK but I didn't quite finish. We only had fourty minutes and we didn't do anything in class, so....

Thank you so much for your support and consideration, much appreciated . We are online at the same time today but I am not on my free. I am atcually in Legal Class right now talking about the six elements of a contract .

I didn't quite stay up all night, I went to sleep at 12:30 and made it to the exam on time . When's YOUR next one? I have Anci3ent next weke and then English again in less than three weeks time. This is messed up, three weeks is NOTHING and we only started the text we are supposed to be writing about a week ago.

Why so quickly ?

HUGNESS .

I'll try to be online during your frees ?

That's ok. Good luck, again

First thing tomorrow morning: 8:20. The thing is, though, it is what at SMSHS, we call a period zero, which means, you have a massive exam and you also have a full day of classes afterwards haha. I have two frees tomorrow, so I am lucky.

Thank you SO much.

What time is your exam on? I'll be wishing you extra good luck

Well, if I fail the non school certificate school certificate I won't be able to do year 11 and 12 in order to go to College....

Oh, yeah! I can't wait for HSC!! ................

I'm only in year 9... But I am still a year young because my school in Newcastle thought that I was too smart and skipped me ahead and they were talking about skipping me again but my Mother wouldn't let them because she didn't want me getting teased even MORE for being "too smart" I was too young to know what was good for me then so I had no choice in the matter- year 4.

How do you not know weather you skipped a year? I rememer skipping and I was only four years old

I completely agree, though I am one of the furthest things that you can get from athlete :L

Goodnight Hamed, sweet dreams to you, too.. I'll be thinking of you all morning for your English exam! GOOD LUCK!!

Ttfn xx

Hahahaha, I knew that is as high as they go LOL. Someone in our school (the 2010 DUX) got 99.82 which is RIDICULOUSNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have got it fairly easy though, in that nothing now or next year counts towards the ATAR. Failed exams inb Year 10 and 11 are simply a learning experience where you learn how to make that NEVER happen again. I have seen people cry when they fail year eleven exams and that is rather stupid because it doesn't matter.

Literally.

But I know I have ruined my ATAR now because I stuffed up assignments and eexams for Year Twelve.

I see now, so I am in my non-HSC HSC, which changes in October-November, the most nerveracking time in our lives so far .

It's a little hard to believe because you are in Year 10. Most year 10 students are at least 15 or 16. How far accelerated are you? Although you are not the only one, I know this kid in my year group, he doesn't Extension 2 Maths (the highest you can go). I say kid because he is literally a kid: 14.

I have been meaning to look into my history because I think I skipped a year. Which would explain why some of this is so hard for me. If I did Year Eleven again, I would ace it haha .

Some people make bad decisions they simply cannot reverse. I am a straight edge and an athlete, so it is disgusting what some people are willing to do to themselves and their bodies. You have got to treat yourself with respect.

I respect myself, which is why I am torturing my body by pulling an all nighter for the English exam tomorrow morning haha .

Have a good night, Claude. I am going to take this all nighter and study, so I will see you (or speak to you) tomorrow morning at the school. Wish me luck for the exam, and sweet dreams, you beautiful person .

That would be very unlikely indeed .

Hamed Khatiz.

Oh, I mean, I would love to get an ATAR of 99.95 (which, by the way, is as high as they go) but I don't want to let myself down when I don't get it... 84.75 is still pretty good, though

It's the fact that because there isn't a school cirtificate exam though, all of the marks from all of our assesments and grades on our reports go toward a final mark at the end of the year instead of a big, daunting test... Which is good, because there is no daunting test, but we can't bludge all of two years then study like crazy just before the end of year 10 Haha

I'll look them up when I can.... I think I have heard stuff about them from other people..

We sometimes record stuff but it's mainly snipits of songs or if I write a piano riff or something I'll record it for her to listen to and write lyrics or whatever

Yeah, I'm REALLY only thirteen. Why is that hard to beleive?
I know people in my age roup that are drug addicts and alcohol addicts It's crap...

Eighteen would be nice.... When it comes in like, fourty years

Oh, and by the way.. Happy 17 and two months for tomorrow, incase of the extreamely unlikely event that I don't talk to you

You are the first person I have ever talked to whom isn't aiming for an ATAR of 99.9999999999999999999 something. People are aiming for ridiculous numbers these days :/.

The non school certificate school certificate. How could a school certificate be non school certificate. :confused:.

LISTEN TO THEEEEEEEEEEEE! . Look them up, behind Linkin Park, they are the second most searched up band on Youtube. Their covers put a completely different feel to the song sometimes. Awesomeness, and I only discovered them last year when I analysed them for a friend, for her English speech.

Particularly, have a listen to their version of "Fix You" by Coldplay. .

Probably once you finish school maybe, start taking it really serious, make some albums and stuff. The night after grad, record something and put it up on Youtube .

Are you REALLY only thirteen? I am seventeen and two months tomorrow!!!! . But who's counting haha? There are so many underage drinkers at our school though, they are talking about the favorite mix and they are seventeen years of age. Then it's kind of pointless to have the eighteen age limit if people are getting alcohol WAY before that.

Looking forward to turning eighteen in five years time haha? That's really conting down haha.

That's quite alright, I love the song
Emily also performed at the Carnegie Hall TWICE at the age of NINE!!! :O
I've seen a video of her as she walks up to a piano for the first time and just compose a four minute long song off the top of her head!?!?!?!
She is deffinetly my rolemodel
... I-I've never heard Boyce Avenue...
I don't understand music haters....
We are planning on being a 'band' of some description... One day
I'm kind of in that position now because of the non school certificate school certificate it sucks......
Thankyou..... Ditto
Forensic Science demands an ATAR of 84.75..... Computing Science (which is a course that I might not do) had 95. something :/

Thank you so much for recommending on referecning that song to me, "So Cold". That song is awesome, although it is not something you would want to play to someone who has just recently been involved in a breakup. Lyrically, it is a really sad song but it sounds awesome. Thanksness!!!!!!! .

You just hit the nail on the head. That exactly is the best feeling when you are composing or playing. When you get someone else to feel something through your music you have felt yourself, it is the BEST. I reckon that is probably what Alejandro Manzano feels with a few of the Boyce Avenue covers.

B.A's originals are REALLY emotional sometimes and you must feel so proud of yourself when you pass on the emotional energy....

And some people hate music haha .

I have heard of Emily Bear. She has been on the Ellen Show a few times and performed at the White House. NEARLY A THOUSAND????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You cannot say she is just famous because of her cuteness. Woah! .

I remember watching a documentary on her and her music back when I was younger and she re-created Working Class Man on the piano just by ear.

What a name haha . I mean, I guess it is a band, although if I was in that position, I would call it a jam... group xD.

Anytime . When you are in Year Twelve and everything counts towards the ATAR or whatever, you have to be especially careful to hold yourself together, especially when other people are running around and doubting themselves and saying "I'm gonna fail" and shit like that.

I personally think you have the capacity to succeed and the strength to... stay strong? LOL.

What ATAR are you aiming for?
