well im only in yr 11 at the moment but my biggest regret was not doing a 3/4 this year so im stuck with 6 next year....
but im trying to "lump" up my subjects by doing further+methods and MUEP Jap+Jap3/4 for next year

but seeing that Vexx is doing 5 subjects + enhancement study, it gives me some hope :'D

Bureaucracy at UoM doesn't like year 11s besmirching their precious program I suppose. (I'm not bitter at all... >_>)

Haha I tried to do spesh on my own. Got through a third of chapter 1 and got lazy :P

Oh, I have quite a few big mistakes.

1) Not working for UMEP semester 1. I did a bit of hubris and took on the attitude that because I understood the material, that I didn't need to study. Big mistake.
2) Completely bludging academically throughout semester 1.
3) Not doing enough violin practice.
4) Not doing specialist maths or literature... or biology. Gosh, I would've done so much better in those subjects.
Ivy Leaguer. High ATAR. Physics competitions and all that jazz in high school.

Probable physics and/or economics major.
