^^ You definitely should. It is the most amazing thing. I still remember the first time I trotted. I was 5 and I was so terrified. Though, not nearly as terrified as the first time I galloped. Man, I thought I was gonna die haha.

I don't even realise how much I've done til I look back over it. Those 26 pages is like 14 lectures worth of material. I have 36 total, I plan to do all me revision notes by Friday. I think it's just sheer stubbornness spurring me on, cause I lost my motivation 2 weeks ago.

Speaking of horse riding, when I was like 10, we went on a riding camp, and it was right next to that house on Home & Away where Sally lives (back then it was somebody else though lol).
That was cool. Lmfao.

Gahhh, 26 pages?!?!
Hahaha, that's probably more than I've written in most of my subjects for the whole semester XDDD
Especially Communication Research, I only wrote 2 pages for that lmfao.

That would have been cool! My bf lives near the street they film Neighbors on, back when I first met him the first time I went to his place he took me to see it. It was pretty cool, in an equally lame kind of way.

Haha. I was like that with the one arts subject I took this semester. I went to like 4 lectures all semester (I hated the lecturer and one lecture clashed with Bio) so I wrote no notes all sem. Cept for when I did revision for the class tests, wrote about 20ish pages then. I just got back my mark for that, too, and I beat the class average. I find that hilarious given how lazy I was.

26 pages doesn't seem like a lot for me, actually. I'm accustomed to writing a few hundred pages of notes per subject. Being science subjects there's like 82374628375 million terms/concepts to learn. I find it much easier to remember if I put it into my own handwriting.

One of my bio lecturers once said biology is like learning another language. He was so right.

omg freaky...100 pages?! unless you have huge handwriting lol.
speaking of home and away, back in the days before bec cartwright was unmarried, my friends always spotted her around Eastwood- local. And there was a time when they filmed a few episodes on my street using this old house that no one lives in- & once there was something involving fire & blocking off the road. meh...i never watched H&A.

Nah, unfortunately my handwriting is pretty tiny. I'm up to 94 pages now. Only 14 more lectures to revise, whoo! But really, it's not that much. It's on average about 4 pages per lecture. So with 36 lectures a few hundred pages really isn't that uneasonable.

Yeah, one more day of study and w00t! Can't wait til Monday morning is over. It's gonna be so hot though, I think I'm going to melt all over my exam.

I think I wrote too much. I had to stop writing notes cause I couldn't hold a pen anymore. My hand was all bruised and I'd worn the skin off my fingers from the friction of the pen. It was kinda funny, save for the fact it was hindering my progress.

I so wanted to give up on Friday. Then I saw this footage on TV of a group of poachers shooting down a male lion. Reminded me why it is I'm doing this in the first place. Yay for motivation!

Freeedooooooooooom.

I'm still obsessing over todays exam lol. That was retarded. I can't wait for it to sink in that I'm done.

I have to figured out what subjects I'm taking next year now. I can't choose. Neutral


Still. Dance Dance

Yay! Congrats Rhiannon =]

Argh I know. Choosing subjects sucks.
Mine are all locked in now, but I think I've chosen the wrong ones XD
I mean like, I've got my Journalism major (YAY), but I chose Advertising electives, purely because my Advertising subject earlier this year was fun.
I think I should've probably gone for Public Relations electives, just because they'd be more relevant in the long run...
But at least I'll have fun next year haha

Lol! Fun always takes priority over relevancy. XD Cept when I did Chemistry. Neutral There's too much to choose from. It's hard enough picking subjects for my major, let alone choosing which of the prerequisites I'll choose.

Sometimes I wish mine was one of those courses wherein everything was already chosen for me. Spose I shouldn't complain about being spoilt for choice.

And thanks, too. =D

YAY for being finished!
I have no idea what I'm going to major in... it's either German or Linguistics. Linguistics would be far more handy in the long run and it's quite interesting and all that... but I've done German since year 8! Agh!

Lol, yeah. But we can be happy and crazy and fun together in this thread. And tease everyone who hasn't finished yet. HA. Suckers. Not really, don't tease them. That's not very nice. Gosh, why would you suggest that?!

Yeah, I am crazy.

I like crazy. Crazy is my kinda peeps!

My problem has always been knowing what I want at the end of all this, just not knowing how to get there. I've known since I was little what I wanted as a career, more specifically since about Year 9. Now, I know I want to major in Zoology, just dunno what subjects. Gah.

I can't imagine how indecisive I'd be if I didn't know that much lol.

congrats rhiannon! it does take time to actually believe you've done your last exam. When I woke up the day after my last assessment I said to mum- i'm on...holidays...?! now i'm like- what do i do?

you're so lucky you know what you want to be. My course is one of those that is mostly set out for you. But even with that I'm so lost most of the time & i ask myself like in the middle of class why i'm even doing this. So depressing. Then I have to face it all over again in 3 months time. argh stop this.

Mine's pretty much all set out for me XD
Like, this year, we got no choice in what we did because it was basically just a sample of the subjects that we could major in,
And next year, we choose our major and then have to take the 4 second year subjects for it, plus the 2 compulsory subjects, and we get 2 electives as well.
Yet I still managed to stress so much over choosing those 2 electives XD

Lmao, I can imagine! Gah, it took me all night to settle on subjects. Strangely enough, it was like a billion times easier to pick the 3rd year subjects. Cause for my major I have to do two subjects from a list of 10 that are co-requisites, then choose two other science subjects, then my other 4 subjects I can do whatever. Then I had to somehow settle on subjects out of the list of prereqs for them and I had no idea. But I finally did. I'm really really excited about one of my 3rd year subjects; Field Biology of Australian Wildlife. It has 4 lectures and 60 hours of prac including a one week long field trip. There's so much hands on stuff where you learn to track, capture and assess wildlife. It'll be like when I did work experience at Phillip Island Nature Park, but not. Lol, yeah, so if you can't tell by my incessant rambling, I'm rulley excited.



I have to ask, cause I don't know. Does anyone know, for a bachelor degree, is it advantageous at all to do two majors? I was thinking of majoring in History and Philosophy of Science as well as Zoology, cause I'm practically doing all the subjects required for it for 'fun' already. I was wondering if anyone knows if there's any point to a double major?
