Mocks in two weeks: I should probably start revising proper
Instructions
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don’t you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.
6. Tag three people.
The nearest book does not have a page 123, so I shall go with page 12.
...nor does it have more than five sentences, so I'll go with page 13.
Daedalus Eupalami filius, qui fabricam a Minerva dicitur accepisse, Perdicem sororis suae filium propter artificii invidiam, quod is primum serram invenerat, summo tecto deicit. ob id scelus in exsilium ab Athenis Cretam ad regem Minoem abiit.

I tag wacky_iraqi, slasheuse, and aim_toothpaste.
Going with Music. Mrs. Mackenzie (careers adviser and also my Latin teacher) suggested I do Achievement (cabbage, but not as cabbage as Applied) Math since I hate math so much, so that I have math to at least Level 2. She put it very nicely, something about "if you find you're being labelled the bright girl and you're being pushed to do work you don't want to do..." I weighed up the pros and cons of doing normal!math and Achievement; both were in the negatives (mostly due to "I hate math" x-15), though Achievement was closer to 0; but in the end I decided not to take any math, because I really don't want to take up an option slot (about five hours a week + homework + exams) with something I haaaaate. Go screwing yourself over for the future! Bridging courses, here I come!
I've only got one mock August 25th. I'm kind of tempted to go to the VUW Open Day for lack of anything better to do.
