I honestly feel like just sleeping in on the day. Although my SAC marks have been quite high this year, when it comes down to the exam, which is tomorrow, I just don't give two hoots about it.
And this is bad.
Yes, I will like to achieve a 99+ ATAR and yes, the recognition of getting a high score will be nice. But at what price? I would like to think that the ATAR is not the end-all and be-all, but let's be honest - at this point in our lives, it is somewhat to an extent. To further add fuel to the fire, year 12 is a pretty stressful time, especially so if disruptions occur during the year or leading up to the pinnacle of your secondary education.
It's easy to say that I should have done more work throughout the year, handed in more essays, less daydreaming in class and so forth, but with the eminent arrival of the first exam tomorrow - English - it's a bit too late to say.
I guess the point of typing this post is maybe to realise and justify to myself why I may not care at this point...or why I should. Here I am procrastinating (once again) and yes, I do admit I have been slack this year. But I am not going to let this get to me. I'll admit my faults and move on because time does not stop for anyone.
For any of you who are in the same position as me, the best way to cope in this situation is to move on and give the last sprint at the end of the race. It's a bit harsh accepting the reality that high school has ended and exams are looming but this is a small stone in the pathway that is our lives. If you're in year 12 or completing your final exams for the year, I wish each and every one of you the best of luck and make the most of the time you have available.
