[Examine]

got a modern exam tomorrow afternoon (after chem exam) and finishing up my essay now

probs wont be able to memorise that well.. but will try.

Are you thinking of picking up extension history?

I think at my school quite a few people (7) wanted to do it except the school didn't allow it.

Yes I definitely want to! Because you get to do JFK as the topic (as well as that big project) and I love JFK ^_^

Yeah, me too. Cursive feels weird, though writing that much in 40 minutes in print is really good.

So for the history extension major work/project/whatever thing, does the topic have to be related to ancient/modern history? Would it be possible to do it on like 14-15th centuries?

The head teacher didn't want to do it, and rejected my friend when only him and another person wanted to do it saying that the minimum standards of a class were 4.

They got 7 people and were still rejected (unless they're still negotiating even though the deadline has passed)

Oh wow - that would suck heaps.

Afaik, our school can have a max. of 1 class - last year's yr 12's finished with 11 in the class - and all 11 got an E4

JFK is so interesting I reckon, shame I didnt get to study him.

I'm pretty sure the history extension major work can be on whatever you want - but I am not too sure.

Hopefully it is! Another favourite history topic of mine is the Renaissance, which you don't get to learn about in Modern/Ancient since its that period in between.

Hopefully I get in though, not too sure if there's a max number of students or if you have to have a certain mark in history.. mine hasn't been the best so far compared to everyone else.

We did the Renaissance in Yr 10 elective - was heaps fun. My interest for it was only fuelled by playing Assassins Creed lol.

Anyway I'm slaving away at parametric equations (though it actually isn't as bad/hard as I thought)

Yes in Yr10 at my old school we had a 10wk history project - I did mine on the Medici family/renaissance purely because of my obsession for AC2 at the time lolol

Haha nice - we had something similar - iirc, I did something to do with the downfall of the British Raj.

Shit my friend said last year:
-I didn't pick Ancient History because I already know everything about it.
-Age of Empires teaches you all about Ancient History

Shit my friend said this year:
-Should of picked Ancient History, I'd get a Band 6 easy. (He's currently doing terrible at all his subjects)
-(while my other friend was reading his ancient history essay) Hey if you need any information for Ancient History, come to me.
- I probably would be in the top 3 if I did Ancient History

Better get back to the basement for modern then.
