The last time I invoked that function was after my last HSC exam. Two and a half years later it looks like I’ll have to call upon it again…

When Uni started there were heaps of people comparing Uni exams to the HSC. I still remember one person describing Uni as being two hscs in a year. Uni exams are nothing like the HSC.

The HSC is only important if you seek to enter a decent Uni, in a degree that’s extremely hard to get into. Yes, I still have sour grapes over the HSC,  why do people do Comm/Law (apart from the image of being rich that’s been embedded in their minds since they learnt how to talk by their parents who failed to achieve that “dream”)?

Doing well in the HSC isn’t important at all but I think that the ability to do well in the HSC affects your ability to do well in other areas greatly. If I didn’t do well in the HSC, I probably wouldn’t have taken as much care in my results at Uni.

Lately I’ve been thinking of the future. What are my plans? What do I see ahead of me? Well in the short-term I have several exams coming up and I really would like to get HD’s in 3 out of the 4 subjects. Definitely possible.

In the next year or so I expect to be doing Honors and hoping to reach first class honors. I need a WAM of at least 80 in my honors year for First Class. Anything after graduating is such a blur. I don’t know what my plans are. Do I really wanna just jump straight into work? I’m really not the “backpacking” type but…there’s so much of the world I haven’t seen! (Yes…I sound like some arts student)

There’s also soo many things I do not know. It’s absolutely amazing the amount of technologies that’s out there! Gah, I want to be fluent in C#, VB.net, JS, Ruby and php. I also want to earn J2EE certification, perhaps even a CCNP.

But for now…
