Thank you so much.

I did ok in art. HSC mark was 85 (guessing my prac mark was far better than my exam mark; I suck at theory ). Oooh, good luck in your HSC! How are you finding year 12 so far? Enjoying it? Hating it?

Ah don't worry, 85 is a great mark! Theory will probably drag me down too. The problem is that I am good at essays/etc (I'm 1st in English), but my art teacher just neglects theory completely and we have to do it all ourselves. So basically we're screwed. Sigh

Yeah 12 is okay. Lots of work and stress and such, but I don't really mind it. Gives me structure and routine, and stuff to work towards, which is good. I need that XD But I am definitely looking forward to uni, even though I don't know what I'm going to do... What are you doing now? Starting uni soon? Or something else?

lol Thanks. Oh, lol, if you're first in English I think you'll probably do well in art theory. I found that they were quite similar. I remember the advice my art teacher gave our class was to have about 5 post-modern artists that we knew a lot about for the essay, so that way at least in the exam we could fall back on the post-modern question. If you're really worried though, I'd buy the excel book for VA. It's more helpful than the teachers are, and was only $15 last year.

Yeah, it gets you ready for uni as well, I imagine (haven't quiiite started uni yet.. c'mon March 1st!). I'm studying Visual Arts at uni this year. In Sydney, too. I'm psyched. Can't wait. You get kind of sick of having nothing to do for 4 months at the end of year 12. D: You got any idea at all of what you're leaning towards studying when you do uni? Or are you just focusing on getting through year 12 first?

Mmm ok, thanks for telling me that, I'll have a look for some post-modern artists. Do you recommend any good ones? I do have the excel book, it's like my bible for exams! XD

Wow awesome! University of Sydney? Or another? I'm sure it will be great I don't really know what I want to do at uni. I have a lot of 'interests', just no 'career goal' that I'm aiming for at the end. I would stay at uni for years and just learn and learn and learn if I could! But yeah, at the moment I'm deciding between creative arts, arts (philosophy or english literature), or psychology. The problem is, that I live LITERALLY 50 meters from University of Wollongong, so I feel that I should take advantage of this proximity, because students actually park further away than I live! But I do really want to get away, to sydney, to get independence and just start living a bit, you know? Meet new people...

Argh, choices, choices. Are you from sydney yourself?

I'm Phoebe, by the way

That's fine. Not really, sorry. I pretty much just used the ones everyone knows about like Barbara Kruger, Stelarc, Guerilla Girls, Yasumasa Morimura, Gilbert and George, etc. Haha, nice. Like I said, MUCH more useful than the teachers.

Yeah, the art campus of University of Sydney: Sydney College of the Arts. Oh, I know what you mean about not having a career goal. I'm still winging it. I almost went for the Bachelor of Arts degree when I was picking my course, pretty much just 'cause it's got most of the subjects I studied at school (History, English, Jap, etc.) plus similar ones which sounded interesting. Had no idea what job I'd end up doing if I studied any of those subjects though. With Vis Arts I figure at least I can branch into design or something if I don't want to be an artist.

Those sound interesting. Which one do you think you're leaning towards?

I say if you wanna move away to a different uni, then you should. I wouldn't want to go to a uni right at my doorstep (UWS D: ). Too much of the same place/people, like you said. And also, I guess you just need to consider which uni has a good reputation with the courses you want.

Don't worry, you'll figure it out. You can transfer to a different uni (as long as your marks are high enough), if you don't like the one you go to initially. Same goes for which course you pick. And I'm from the Blue Mountains, so I'm like 1 and a half to 2 hours away from Sydney. But I shall move to Sydney soon and it shall be awesome.

I'm Zena.
