Inquisitiveness -> HELP -> success

From an anxious high school student to those who are about to go through windy road of the crucial last two years of high school, and need a little consolation. The first thought that comes to my head when I think of School commencing again: HELP!
It's the dreaded eve of first day in the IB Diploma Program and I am extremely fatigued (after staying up past midnight to finish a stupid puzzle to which my stubbornness would not give in). It's a good thing though cause I don't have enough mental energy to worry about it:) In any case after taking the Prep-year here in Helsinki Finland I'm fairly confident about the years to come. But now it's the real deal! No more second chances; no more procrastinating or leaving history essays and physics study to the last minute. I've got my game face on; well right now I look like a zombie but I'll be wearing it tomorrow:)
For a brief introduction, I'm a shy half Finnish, half Aussie guy living in Finland at a very Finnish based school (though the program is in English). Being a quiet person, my situation is extremely hard to handle, in any case. Im not fluent in Finnish so I can't really interact with most of the guys in my class which sucks, but I do have a few friends to rely on. However since visiting prospective Universities in the UK I've realised that I just need to focus on my studies and Ill hardly have time for a large social life anyway. So my tip of the day is visit the universities of your dreams as motivation to study hard for the year ahead. It'll be worth it in the end... (sigh)
