I had to talk for 90 seconds in front of about 20 people today. Would rather talk in front of 1000 tbh.

Guess it depends on the people, cause I find myself more comfortable in front of peers rather than complete strangers :-X.

And Richie, did you nail your speech for school leader?!

Don't wanna boast but I've had two presentations this year an I've pulled 90 and 92. They've become my favourite form of assessment by far!

Always loved presentations. We had a "Presenting with Impact" training session at work and my feedback at the end of the session was "keep doing what you're doing"...

Got up and spoke crap for a minute and a half 8) Had 0 content to my speech but I think I was confident at the mic which is all you need imo.

So I have finished my last class for Year 12, considering where I was 12, or even 24 months ago mentally I never thought I'd end up going back to school & doing it.

I do have a combine 12 thousand words to write over the next 8 days though, so I'll be pretty relieved when I submit my final piece next Friday.

Scratch that, Monday* and I ended up having another week of classes that I forgot about, but I'm all done now bar the last 2 assignments!

Me and my mates were pretty annoyed that our lecturer didn't give us any past exams or whatever to look at. We managed to get one off of someone who did the unit last year. Like 70% of the exam today was, word for word, that past exam. Ez 8)

Had a maths subject where they either didn't give past exams or gave edited ones because the lecturer just combined questions from old exams on the new one. Got access to like 6 years of past exams and 4 of the 6 questions were ones I'd seen before. Made for an easy exam.

When you get 22.5% on an assignment because somehow you totally misinterpret the assignment requirements :X flower me, now need 70% on the exam to scrape a pass in the unit (see: near-impossible tasks). So flowering annoyed right now, I was confident about what I had done too.


GoLions

Damn, that sucks Jukesy :-\
I did that in an assignment once, and the rest of the assignment followed on from the question I flowered up, and I got like 20%. Got about 95% on the exam though haha, so that saved my ass!

Had my last core exam yesterday! So now just got an elective one tomorrow, and then a summer unit and I'm donion rings 8)

So first assignment did like a quarter of it, handed it up late. Still passed. Second assignment tried harder completed the whole thing even handed it up on time and failed hahaha

I didn't learn anything in uni and it's all coming back to bite me. I need to do real chemical engineering stuff at work and I've forgotten it all.
