I used to take all tasks seriously, for a while, but then fate deals you with
unjust cirumstances which make you think `Why bother?'. I was once considered to
be the fastest 100m sprinter in my age group, in the whole of NSW, and was going
to represent NSW and hopefully Australia, in the Pan Pacific games, but when
30 m away from the State championships a few years back, I was in the lead,
my hamstring went, for the 2nd time. I made a come back 2 years ago, got even
faster and tore it 3 more times, so I took up kickboxing, and tore it again, so
I said fuck it and gave up. Same with study, in year 12 I studied my arse off
to get the BIT scholarship, I succeeded in the interview, and had a goal! I did
the best I could have possibly done in the HSC, considering my lazy stint from
year 7 to 10 and then, due to the recession UTS cut back from 50 to approx. 32 
scholarships. With a mark of 89.25 and a successful interview, I must have 
missed out by only a few positions. I got the shits went down to WOllongong for
year, studied hard there got a few distinctions, mostly credits, and went for
the UTS scholarship again, my friend, Sean Whiteley got 89.35 this year, so I
must have only missed out by about 5 again. Recently, in fact the end of last
semester, I found out that if I had have come to UTS and studied App Sci. last
year instead of Wollongong, I would have had the scholarship, that's when I
started to detest that form of work, and study in general. Anyway for those who
don't think is a flame, well fuck, then what is? You wonder why I love UTS so 
much.
