Stress, it's very good. 48 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: How good is that in terms of juggling your workload 49 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: over the next couple of years? 50 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 5: Heaps, very lucky. 51 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: Now remind me again how to pronounce your name correctly? 52 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: Because I want to make sure I get it right. 53 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 3: Through. 54 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: Like, was it quite a daunting sort of thing for 55 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: you though, determining you know, whether you were going to 56 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: take on the additional exams in grade eleven or did you? 57 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 2: Was it a bit of a no brainer for me? 58 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 5: I think it was a bit of a no brain. 59 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 5: It makes your tip so much more fun. Yes, that's 60 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 5: very good. 61 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: And now you're also doing your year twelve exams in 62 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: grade eleven.

How are you feeling about the big 78 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: stamp panda and the changes in front of you? 79 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 4: Oh, well, it's very daunting, but haven't really processed the 80 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 4: fact that it's all going to completely change in about 81 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 4: three weeks. But we've been doing all the university application 82 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 4: stuff like that, so we have been already taking those 83 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 4: steps towards next year for most of us. So yeah, 84 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 4: we all have like a kind of set plan for 85 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 4: next year.
