hey grey face.

well firstly, the contrasts between port high and mackillop is monstrous. My intentions for going there were to try hard, get a ‘decent’ atar and get the fuck out. I didn’t know what to expect there but when i got there, i landed in hell. The first few weeks there gave me so much grief. The school is overwhelming with knowledge and expectations and nice people. At Port High, i was so used to laid back teachers, cruising through tests and the segregated groups. At Mackillop, EVERYONE is friends, it’s fucked up. I wasn’t used to it. Intimidation lingered quite easily. So many beautiful girls and then me.. At Port High i felt kinda smart, but Mackill was a whole different playing field. I am now only going average in most of my classes, not a good start.The people a Mackillop are all so nice to me, i’ve never been treated by people like this ever.. I was not appreciated at Port High, but i’m appreciated now. I used to be the butt of every joke, and now i make the jokes. The tables have turned for the better.

I guess you could say that Mackillop has been a tough change, but for the best. I would NEVER study this hard at Port High. I’m finally attempting for the best marks I can with the knowledge i have and Mackillop is supporting me the whole way.

But there are days when i go, ‘FUCK THIS PLACE, I WANT TO MOVE, KILL ME NOW PLZ’. But i believe everyone has these days. The pressure is put on for a reason, and some people just see the rawness of that.
