i had a similar experience as Gakface and Cross-Over. Generally great times all round, except for end of year exams, but i still took it all pretty easy and got into my first choice for university. Though i imgine schooling in australia is somewhat different to america. Best times where socialising and playing basketball at luch, also all school social occasions in our final year, like disco, school ball/prom and dinners. Was great
Also i went to a public school; had i gone to a single sex private(ie boy) school i think things would've been quite different, and maybe for the worse. Loving uni at the moment tho, however i've always wondered what it would be like to baord at uni or college and have all those frat parties and also independance (i have quite a bit of independance still, just i am living with my folks still)...but thats what i see on the movies/tv, so god know what it is really like....
