Dude, you are living life! I soo wish I could be back at school! Uni is alright but I realy miss an 8till 3 day, 5days a week. Get a job at maccas or somehting, I regret not getting a job when I was at school cause you realy don't realise how much time you actually had free at school until you leave school! OP's don't realy mean anythign these days, what other qualifications you have do.

Man enjoy school while you can! Sure you got no money but you've got something that a lot of us dont, time. Try working 5 days a week and see how much riding you get done, theres also no guarantee that you'll have more money to spend on your bike once you get out in the world anyway. Theres always rent and all that other shit to pay for or save for.

Yeah you gotta do homework when you're on holiday and on the weekend but how many weeks hiliday do you get a year? You get 4 weeks on average working full time ( unless you dont take them all or hold them over ) so thats not a lot of time at all. Trust me, enjoy it while you can

I don't have much time. I haven't been riding after school for about a month, and I only have time to ride on sundays about once or twice a month. That's not what I would call "lots of time".

yeah what they say except...while school was fun there really is nothing that can compete with 1st/second year uni...you have if u do it right, 16hrs contact a week of which you can pretty much get out of successfully about 3/4's of it which leaves plenny of time for a part time job ie bike money, plenny of time for riding plus your most likely legal to go to the pub...hang in there thru OP scores etc, don't take it overly seriously but serious enough...i mean at the end of the day only to get u into uni, from then on OP is nothing, and uni marks everything, after uni marks to get into honours uni marks count, then honours marks everything uni marks a little important, then once u got a proper job forget it all its just your experience that is important...Anyway i'm babbling, make the most of what u got...yeah if anyone actually read all this please reply cause your an idiot or really really bored like me!

School was great. I have to admit though that not studying through year 11/12 wasn't the best decision I've probably made. They were too of the most enjoyable years of my life, but I know that in terms of UAI (I'm pressuming same as OP, the only OP I'm familiar with is Bundy!) I was probably capable of a lot more.
The thing I reckon I miss most though is the friends, especially the female ones. Damn we were spoilt at school, and now I don't see them half as much. I've also come to the conclusion that western Sydney isn't the biggest source of talent, I'll take my nice little school group any day.

ok i admit school is fun at lunchtimes, sit around eat talk to hot chicks, pinch there arses as a joke (well thats what they think :wink: ) but man, sure school is only 7 hours, but what about all the extra hours u have to work at home and on weekends, barely gives a boy a chance to grow up :lol: hehehe. but yeh, i must admit school does has its ups and downs, when the assesment is dieing down (which isn't now, now have 8 exams and 3 assignments) then its all good, school is a big joke......
i heard uni is a LOT more fun than school - is that true?? well i guess it depends what u're doing in uni anywho.
i want an OP under 10!!!! please pray for me everyone :lol: :lol:

anywho.... i have a math assignment to start, and a RELIGION ASSIGNMENT (i go to a lutheran school, they jam religion down u're throat) due on friday - so i better get workin..... lol, this website distracts me so much, so many kewl people

I'm in year 12. My days consist of -

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday - Wake up at 7.00, go to school until 2.45, work at Franks A1 Cycles from 3.00 till 5.00, come home.

Thursday - Wake up at 3.30, catch the first train to Beerwah, work at Australia Zoo all day, get home around 6.00.

Saturday - Work from 8.30-2 at Franks A1, get a lift to Hibiscus skatepark, ride from 2.30 till 5 or so, come home.

Sunday - Either riding or working at TC's Bike Barr.

In that time, I manage to study, ride a bit more, ride my dirtbike, spend time with my (very understanding and patient) girlfriend, look after www.wethepeople.de, care for a bunch of snakes and lizards, and cause a lot of trouble...
