    the 'im screwed for modern' thread

    Who here will be ecstatic when modern is over?

    the 'im screwed for modern' thread

    i was ranked 1st internally with a final exam mk of 93. (i.e my end assessment mk was also 93 and the final HSC mk = 93 of course) Looking back, it was somewhat disappointing because my internal assessment average hovered around 96-97. I know that the internal mk means nothing because...

    Semester 2, 2005 at Usyd (or 2005 at USyd)

    1. Usyd turned out better than I thought. I don't really notice any real snobs so far despite studying both arts and commerce subjects. People are as friendly as anywhere else really. Maybe I'm just lucky in my experiences. 2. Wentworth is my second home now whether I like it or not...
