    If girls are dumb what does that make someone who obviously has no grasp of the correct ways to utilise spelling and punctuation?

    should english be compsory

    I voted no because while I'm doing fairly well at english, our entire society is built around fundamental mathematics. In real life, you're much more likely to know how to find percentages or calculate intrest, etc, than "Hey, Look at that poster. I wonder what the composers intent with...

    Studying for the SC

    Ok...Let's straighten a few things out... If you're doing years 11 and/or 12 The SC counts for nothing. Do you hear me? NOTHING!!!! In that case, why bother to study. It won't help or advantage you in any way, shape or form. except maybe to be able to say that you beat a load of people who...

    please vote: 4u maths or 3u eng?

    No, only 2 units of english have to count, and that can be ANY 2 units. So yes, only 1 unit of advanced english may count if you do 3 unit. If you do 4u english, advanced might not count at all.

    Physics and Chemistry Scaling

    Chemistry has scaled better than physics in the past. And there isn't much likelihood of that changing this year. But, you're better off to do a subject that doesn't scale up quite so much and do well than do a high scaling subject and do poorly. You'll get better marks out of it in the...

    please vote: 4u maths or 3u eng?

    History? Art? Ew! Lol. I did prelim ancient and enjoyed it but dumped it because I still have 13 units now. Lol, nice going on the subjects! Except maybe ext english because I hate english... I'd have done all 3 sciences myself if I hadn't sort of felt obliged to to music...Considering...

    please vote: 4u maths or 3u eng?

    Damn straight. You can drop something later in the year but you can't pick it up if you change your mind.

    if you miss a trial exam

    Go to the doctor and get a doctor's certificate Fill in a misdventure form. Your school should then organise for you do the trial at some other time. I missed my 2 maths exams, and rescheduled them, no problem.

    ... what kind of music do you listen to while studying?

    Pretty much anything along my usual line of listening. So that's most Jazz, and Queen, Reel Big Fish, The Beatles, ABBA, Eva Cassidy, Anthony Warlow, the soundtracks for Wicked, The Secret Garden and Cats. And anything from my relatively large collection of Mozart.

    Chem engineering careers night at Newie, Anyone?

    Chemical engineering careers night- It's on the 1st of September at 6pm, at Newcastle university. Looks like it might be good. Anyone else interested?

    Lord of the Rings Fans (obsessive ones included)

    Faile as least popular maybe? Yeah, they do slow down a bit, but they're still good to read. But I quite like Nynaeve too, I don't get what everyone has against her.

    Encore

    Yes, multitalentless when it come to singing. Ooops. Did I say that out loud?

    Performing while sick/injured

    Hmm, it would work if your nose was blocked up. I'd never actually thought of that before! Grrr, got the marks for some of my pieces back today, SO not happy, I got 26/30 for one of the pieces. I've seen the video of the performance, and it was note perfect. The only thing lacking was a...

    Chemistry Or Physics

    Nope. Chemistry is the same. They're as interesting as each other. Chem makes you really think about what's happening in the world around you too. Eg, you fill the car with petrol and think about the burning of fossil fuels, their effects on the environment, how the petroluem is refined, how...

    Lord of the Rings Fans (obsessive ones included)

    They tend to have that effect on people, don't they! I'm just starting book 9 at the moment. Still enjoying them too.

    Chemistry Or Physics

    Yes. I do too. It's like whoa. Pick a formula and substitute. So simple. Not what I was expecting. As to physics vs chemistry.... Can you do both? They're fun! Prelim physics is better than prelim chemistry, but hsc chem is way more interesting than hsc physics.... I'd pick chem...

    Performing while sick/injured

    Argh. Anyone else have to go through these problems? I was in a car accident a week before my performance trials, and very quickly came to the conclusion that it's damn near impossible to sing with whiplash. Not to mention shot breath control because of the seat belt across your stomach. And...

    What have I done?!

    That must be really hard for you. Put in the misadventure, but don't drop the course. You never know, you might do better thatn you think. I did a similar thing in my maths ext 2 exam today. I did part of one question, and heard car brakes screeching outside. I totally lost it, burst into...
