Well done, those are some awesome marks. Whats the deal with them mailing your marks to you this year?

[olya_lark]

They did that last year too.

Only this year they got here before they got on the internet - they're putting them online Thursday.

Wheeeee! You have the UNI down!

Why do you only have five subjects? I want to be taking only five subjects in my last year of high school.

Care to, er, elaborate on what these things mean? In terms of us non-Zealanders?

Re: Pui

Nope, Sar is wrong.

I only do five subjects: Statistics, Classics, English, History, and Chemistry. And I've a Study. You can take a maximum of 6 subjects (and a minimum of 5, I think) in both 7th and 6th form. I did 5 subjects last year too.

A = Achieved, which means I passed.
M = Merit, which means I passed with Merit. (Which is... better than Achieved. And... worse than Excellence o_O)
E = Excellence, which means I passed with Excellence. (Which is v. v. good.)

We used to have School Cert, but they changed it with my year to NCEA (which is the above).

Oh, and to elaborate: we have 6 classes each day in 7th form, so we have all 6 subjects every day.

And I just realized I lied. Last year, I also did PE and RE (phys ed and religious ed) but PE had like 1 standard and RE none. I think. Or maybe it was 5th form. Man my memory sucks.

"And then what?"
"What do you mean, and then what?"
"What do you do after you bang them together?"
"I bang them together again."

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

I'm so happy for you!

Oh and the wallpaper is gorg. How do you make it so that first of all, all the text is only on one side so you can see the picture all the time and secondly, well how do you make that small picture you made there, last the entire page without repeating itself somewhere down the line?

Does that make any sense?

Oh and Pui, I think those are only tested subjects. I have six provincially examinable courses. The other two are Web Design and AP Languages (mostly Latin) which they don't care to test on.

[olya_lark]

Let me see if I can get this.

*scratches head*

We are talking about the wallpaper, right? I ish a tad confused, so I'll just tell you how I made the wallpaper.

- I had a big image of Boyd/Draco, which I had to crop around the outside of so I get only him, which I pasted in the middle of a big document
- Then I went brushes-happy and brushed absolutely everything. All of the things that are *behind* Boyd/Draco are all brushes. And I just moved him upwards.
- Background was white, brushes were black, and I made Boyd/Draco black-and-white
- Then I used gradient and gave it colours.
- Then I put the writing on it ("the good die first" and "draco malfoy"

Is that sorta kinda what you meant?
