Hey, Short-Film script for me. Good luck everyone else!
the fuck? my viva voce isn't till feburary next year3 weeks until my viva voce
I'm not doing this to impress anyone in any way except to hopefully get a good ATAR, which could kind of be considered impressing uni admissions people. All I mean is that the sort of student who would want to get to school at an insane hour ior leave late in order to do extra work would care about how they graduate. And if you want to graduate with a good report you're not the sort of person who would want to be on any teachers bad side.Personally I'm doing this course because i have a passion for writing and a passion for my topic. I think its an in depth, challenging and enriching course and I'm looking forward to undertaking my major work independently. Why on earth would you pour yourself into this just to impress a high school teacher?
I have tofu. >_>I love how most of us have little quotes or bits of poems in our sigs...
English nerds suck!I have tofu. >_>
Also, though this is probably the wrong topic to ask in (but I'm far too lazy to search/make a new one), is humour generally frowned upon? If I wanted to make my writing 'witty' would I be marked down because my writing wouldn't be as sophistimicated? I'd ask my teacher, but she's currently away.
A guy in my class had a disarming sense of humour, and he weaves comic into his writing in such a way that just....stuns all of us! Our teacher is so excited by him, she's encouraging him to make his MW humourous and manipulate his 'gifted' writing style. I say go for it, most definitely. Imho, our MW should reflect our strongest abilities.. like my writing is just inherently luxurious and almost poetic and she wants me to write something based in the 19th century or with influences from the romantic era and what not. i reckon it'll work in my favouris humour generally frowned upon?

I know! I am having so much trouble narrowing down my ideas into one concept. Luckily my extension teacher is a senior board marker for NSW, and his great at appreciating your ideas and discussing them with you. He knows almost every author you mention to him, and is great at steering you in the right direction.BLEH! so many ideas running through my head! hahah.
& yes, we should all meet up & discuss ideas & chill

But his leaving our school next year so I'm trying to write my first draft by the end of this term. But yes, definitely looking forward to discussing ideas/ lounging and chilling in this forum with you all for 2010. Doing poetry btw and good luck everyone!

because i wanted to do poetry, but yeah,
everyone kind of advised me against it, even my teacher,
so im scared ill get bad marks off my teacher if i choose it,
thus do bad all over. (N)

+1Oh for fucks sake, you people have no backbone. This is YOUR major work, the piece that YOU will be spending almost a year on so do what YOU want to do. If you like your topic/form/concepts your more likely to produce a sophisticated, in depth and 'unique' MW.
