User blog:Dawnfeather/Hi everybody!

Well, I've never made a blog before, but I've noticed they're popular on this wiki (you guys, and of course, girls, are AWESOME!). So I thought I might have a go.

I've spent the last three weeks nearly pulling my hair out in stress. There is this school I wanted to apply for - The Australian Science and Mathematics School. I'm really nerdy like that, and the school is only for the three senior years of high school. (I don't know how it works in other countries, but we have five years of high school which start when you are about 12 or 13 in year 8, through to year 12) I am currently in year 10, meaning I am sort of applying a year late (the school is years 10 - 12), but they are still taking in year 11's next year (Our school year is the same as a normal year. One school year ends mid december and the next starts in the last days of Janurary). It's really competitive to get in - there are only about 20 places avaliable for year 11 next year and there have been more than triple that amount of applicants already - and it you can still place them in until tomorrow. I really want to get in, as after spending one day there to see how things work, I made many more friends than I have at my current school. Thhey are all so nice and don't desciminate against my nerdiness 'cos they're nerds too!

Anyway, I really want to get in, and I find out in a few weeks - about two they said - if I got a high enough ranking to get in off the plank, I got an interview which means more waiting, or if I just didn't get in. The stress is killing me! The application was hard enough to get together because I had to gather lots of documents which proved a long term interest in maths and science, being a very motivated learner, and (quote)'personal endeavours and evidence of ability to engage with the innovative teaching and learning environment of ASMS (anagram)) How are you supposed to prove that!

Sorry for rambling on heaps. I just like typing, and I have never been good at expressing anything without rambling on and on and on and on and on and on and... (annoys everyone to pieces by continuing). Also, just so you know, I stress out really easily.

Please say hi - I don't really know how this whole blog system works. -- Dawnfeather talk!
