I guess people who do well in school just have a passion for education!

One of my friends got a UAI of 98 and wants to do teaching. Everyone is giving him so much shit about how he's throwing his future away, but I think it's fabulous. (Although I do wonder why he bothered studying so much, lol.) You should definately do what you want to do and feel passionate...

At uni there are always signs around on noticeboards with people wanting to sell their 2nd hand books. Get in quick cos they go fast.

That what school career advisors are there for...but I guess it is too late now since school is over for the year. Maybe some people here might be doing some of the courses you are considering and can offer you some advice...

Most manufactured, bubblegum-pop singers can actually sing...they just need to learn to use their powers for good instead of evil. I'd have to say that a good voice is actually very low on my list in of What Makes Music Good. If the singer can carry a tune and has a decent voice, thats good...

I *love* Muse. If only I were going to their upcoming show!!! :(

Thanks...That makes sense now.

Probably deleted their account.

I'd say the manufacturers would have donated all that stuff for publicity. The show wouldn't have had to pay for any of it.

I read the letter as sarcasm...

She said she wouldn't do the superbowl of love, but they are still bringing it up at every opprtunity, just to guilt trip her or something. She invited him on her show, just to make peace I assume, but he said no. (trying to keep the upper hand. ;) )

Aaargh, yes! 40 year old woman squealing for no apparent reason=very unappealing. :( And that one lady nearly passed out from excitement and Oprah had to go over and like pat her on the hand-lol! The funniest thing I ever saw on that show was when they were fixing up peoples houses, and this...

One of my UNI friends got accepted into a course 3 or 4 marks under the UAI cutoff with no special applications or harassing necessary...they just let him in, no questions asked. People seem to think UAI cutoffs are the be-all and end-all and are ready to jump off a bridge if they don't get...

Everyone does them differently. If I am learning from a syllabus, I usually write out each syllabus point, and underneath I write down everything I have to learn about it. If I don't have a syllabus for the subject (at uni, syllabuses are much rarer than at high school) I find that the way I...

I love the Oprah show, although occassionally she does manage to really piss me off. For instance-They were once doing a show about how you could sponsor a child or something like that, and Oprah was saying how it was so cheap to do it and "everyone can afford it", and then she said something...

Out teacher pretty much told us that it was actually quite a good idea to memorise an essay as long as we could make it fit the question and didn't look too obvious, and as long as we also studied the text more broadly in case our essay didn't fit...though he made a big point that he was saying...

It IS true, but they should think of the way they set their dipshit exams instead of moaning that people find a dead easy and obvious way to get through them.

I memorised essays for the trials and the HSC, but not for the earlier assessment tasks in year 12. I went much better when I did memorise essays, because I always ran out of time otherwise. Time was my biggest enemy in english, and memorising was the only way i could be reasonably confident I...

Compare last years UAI to the years before...see if there is some sort of trend happening, like if it seems to go up 1 UAI point each year. It will probably follow the same sort of trend this year.

I don't think his style has become cliched. I think these days people rely on a lot of formulaic shock methods (eg-eerie music to build suspense then someone suddenly jumping out of nowhere) while hitchcock never took any cheap shots...it'd start feeling creepy and you don't even know why cos it...
