So much for studying... basically, all I've been doing is surfing the net and looking up stuff on Wikipedia and Uncyclopedia.
The best bits are...
I love Uncyclopedia and the fact that NCEA is a joke. Like, actually funny.

The reader should be aware that this article is not, and may never be, as funny as the truth.

QUOTE(Uncyclopedia on understanding NCEA)
NCEA is very easy to understand. For example:
1. GPA's are reported on your results
2. Perfect GPA's can be gained by not achieving all papers apart from one.
3. Nobody cares how many credits you have, because it is the GPA's (your grade standard) that counts.
4. Not Achieved are grades that are awarded then subsequently disappear, never to be mentioned or recorded again. Legend has it that Maui fished them up and ate them.
5. You can pass a paper such as Level 3 Trigonometry by answering only two questions. You can also fail by answering all the questions apart from the aforementioned two. This equates to pass = 5%, fail = 95%. Of course these percentages don't exist.

QUOTE(Uncyclopedia on actual papers - seriously)
Easy papers:
- Scholarship Geography 2004(can be attained by students who do not take the subject during the year).
- PE 'walk around the Westpac stadium for credits' unit standard.
- Computing 'turn on a computer' unit standard.
- Clean green 'picking up rubbish' credits
- Maori 'visit a marae' unit standard.
- Scholarship language exams - for native speakers against those learning in school.
- The 'Kiwi Learners Course'

Maybe not for you... I was at 60% DP by the time I got to the boss, he alone took me almost an hour to beat. He had the nasty tendency to use AoE spells to wipe out the entire party other than me as soon as I got him into Soul form, and then kill me before I could do any significant damage. Then I'd have to spend the next couple of minutes walking back over, and luring away those rangers. Don't assume just because you didn't find it excruciating that other classes might struggle more with that particular challenge. That entire dungeon was set up mostly to stop melee characters, I'd like to see you fare as well as I in an anti-caster environment. 
If you're interested, due to all those ranger spawns I got up to about 220 kills on the bottom floor of the dungeon alone.

It's funny because it's true, the educational system is actually like what is quoted from Uncyclopedia.
And oh my god I have had THE WORST day in quite some time. And then I came home and found out via the crappy free newspaper everyone uses for firewood that Anaru, aka biggest sycophant EVER, recieved the Altrusa Youth award representing Boys' High. MY GOD. He does NOTHING. He signs up for all these activities just so they look good on his CV. He doesn't really get involved in them at all and he SUCKS at everything. Apart from sucking at sucking, although he still sucks at it.
But like, he attended one night of stage crew for the production this year and it's on his report, he attended one soccer match and it's on his report. He was useless backstage and he can't even kick a soccer ball, no jokes. And he joined rowing and can't row for crap. And the newspaper article is SO full of CRAP. I mean, he says he's working towards AS and A Level papers but he doesn't even take the papers, I'm sure his intellect couldn't handle any of it. UGH. He drives me INSANE.
