That couldn't have been any fun. It's kind of stop/start with the rain at the moment. They mentioned storms today, but I don't think I'm that lucky. I'm still waiting for a good one.
Congratulations, that's a fantastic score! I'm sure you'll get into your first preference. The month will fly by with Christmas and New Year around the corner.
hi kylie, supwitchugirl?
There's been a bit of thunder around here in the Brighton/Bayside area, so we may yet get some lightning. I've decided to be constructive despite the weather and bake some cookies. I'm cool.
I'm pretty happy with it, especially since I had absolutely no idea what to expect. A bit disappointed I didn't get any study scores above 40 (39 for English, so close :\), but that should definitely be enough to get me into my course since it's required 79.50 for the last few years and it's not an overly popular course.
Yeah I can't wait for Chrissy/New Year. You doing anything special for it?
I work in Bentleigh and live in the Bayside area and I haven’t heard any thunder. That’s not fair! haha nothing wrong with baking cookies. I still have a gingerbread house to finish.
Those study scores aren’t easy to get though. 39 for English is still an awesome effort and you should be proud. From the sounds of it, you shouldn’t have a problem getting into Monash with that result.
Neither can I. 7 days and I’m done for nearly 2 weeks! Having the family over at my place for Christmas dinner. If it’s hot enough, we’ll probably hit the beach after dinner or something. How about you?
I don't think we got any actual lightning anyway, or at least not any that I noticed. I know you're near now though. And yeah, especially when I get to eat the ones that are soft and falling apart. Christmas is always such a healthy time.
Yeah I'm fairly happy with that. I got my GAT results too which I didn't take in the least bit serious, yet apparently I was in the top 9% or something for it, I guess showing how serious the state as a whole took it. Just wrote about Bear Grylls tbh. Originally I thought I was going to get around 30 in English, but apparently I got an A+ for both my context piece (thank God I did that research) and language analysis. Two A+s and yet no 40. Fingers crossed about Monash. I've been waiting to go there ever since our school went there earlier this year. I love the place already.
Sounds good. (Y) We're just having a small family gathering because I only have a small family. The cousins make the trek here from the outer suburbs and bring the Poker table for the traditional family Texas Hold 'Em. Very sacred.
Warm sunshine up here for now at least. Got the pool cleaned and might go for a swim later, but there are clouds coming in so I'm expecting rain.
Why do you guys have two different sets of results? Seems like extra effort.

Yes but you don't know where in Bayside I live so it'll still take you a while to find me. They're the best kind....just out of the oven.
I remember taking the GAT but I don't remember doing it in year 12. I think I was year 10 or 11 when I did it. The whole thing was a crock though lol. Ah I wouldn't worry too much over the study score. You still did really well to get 39. I'll keep them crossed, but you won't need any luck.
Sounds like fun. Good that you're able to have the whole family with you for Christmas, especially if there's Texas Hold 'Em involved.
I don't hate on them....just WCW's Arquette reign that's all and that wasn't their fault. I'm a little behind on Raw at the moment and I'm (very) slowly catching up, but I'm assuming Arquette was the guest host this week?

That's good. Best to get that swim in before the bad weather hits.
The ENTER score is the score you need to gain entrance to uni and the GAT is the statewide average test or something like that (from memory that's what is is anyway ). The GAT doesn't really have a reflection on uni entrance.

The GAT (General Achievement Test) isn't used unless you miss your exams due to extreme situations, ie you're extremely sick or you're in hospital and can't attend etc. So it's basically a backup should something happen that they can use to rank you.
