1. English is not an 'escape route' away from Lit. They're just as hard.
2. Year eights do get more and more annoying each year.
3. A good lunch (and a strong cup of coffee) is essential.
4. Marks plummet. Straight 100%s become straight 70%-if-you're-lucky.
5. Recess: sleep.
6. You will lose 10% per day for overdue work. This year, it's not just an empty threat.
7. Be prepared with discreet earphones, a carefully concealed iPod and strategically arranged hair and headpieces for those long and tedious lectures about Life In The Future.
8. Every university will try to convince you that that uni is The Best Uni Ever. It is not.
9. The highlight of the year is going to all the classrooms and laughing at the junior school after senior school early close. Yes, that is how sad your life is as a year eleven student.
10. If you want to say something, say it. If you want to do something, do it. If you want to be something, be it.

So if the straight 70s are the result of 3 days overdue work for each assignment...
I'd be worrying, and trying to get the thing started as soon as I left class, without laughing at the juniors.
As for the Best Uni Ever, isn't it the one where you're generally not, or wouldn't consider going in a million years?
(There are a few cracks in each one).
And we love point 10. Hopefully your Year 11 will be a highlight because of this: the things you do, say and are.
That's worth so many Future Lectures.
