Didn't you have to do that for your prelim? o.O Regardless of no year 11 half yearlies, you've never had to memorise essays? Why 60 minutes - shouldn't you be practising with 40minutes, or 50 minutes at max? I just re-write my essay, highlight and colour code the main points -- I can visually...

Even though hopeles5ly has said it best, don't whinge at us about how our lives are nothing compared to yours, then go on to say we shouldn't complain because people are homeless. Don't joke about breakdowns either, I've already had two minor ones. If you have so many commitments outside of...

How long can it take to open books and get pens? Teachers also shouldn't be late, but if they are, there should be something to go on with, whether it's reading ahead in the text book, starting the next exercise, or writing the dot point in your book. By taking so long to get ready or whatever...

My order of preference for study is: 1. English. 2. Economics 3. Chemistry 4. IPT 5. RE (it's just a speech,so that's easy) 6. Maths. Wish I had my timetable now so I could organise a study plan properly, all I know is Eco is on Friday, week 10 because the teacher had to book it across 6...

We write our own song we sign at our last normal school assembly, our Grad Mass and our Formal Leaving Assembly. We write ours on our RE retreat a few weeks ago, not the best, but it's nice. I want to be on the committee to make the PowerPoint and set the music, but I've got too many songs I'd...

Isn't that the point of most nicknames? Most likely, unless ou simply use your real name, it'll serve as a reminder of highschool, it just depends if you are the type to cringe at how stupid you were back then, or the type to laugh at it. I'm the type whose boyfriend will comment/laugh at...

To me, annivarsaries are an achievement and should be acknowledged if not celebrated. To my boyfriend, it's just a date and actions should show love, and not time -- so he tries to get out of them. I reckon monthly ones should at least be remembered personally (is it hard to remember a number as...

I used to absolutely adore Diva. There was only one store up the coast, and no-one I knew went there, then the stores popped up everywhere it they were no longer unique for my area (very Far North Coast) As with most girls when we get older, I'm getting more into gold pieces that will last for...

'Life As A House' always makes me cry -- all my friends did too when I say it with them. Goblet of Fire also had me teary, I hate to admit it, but I'm too emotional about everything, so I guess that explains it.

I did Computing Studies and Art. Loved Computers in Year 9 because I flogged everyone, but with a new teacher in year 10 I fell to third. Sorta glad I did though, they wanted to accelerate me into IPT. I only did Art because no-one at my school wanted to do Commerce, but I ended up topping Art...

6 what, sorry? So, you don't do any essays at all? I do them in Chem, Eng and Economics -- thought that was normal. I never realised that the times and stuff were so different from school to school -- we have our lunches at 11 and 1, same as primary school, and all the schools in our area...

Re: After the HSC... I wanted to go on a holiday, but who knows about that now. I'll most likely be working and doing nothing as I'll still be 17, unfortunately.

Sounds painful, and I generally don't trust anything with incorrect spelling or grammar. Whereever "shove" is used in directions, I'd steer clear -- sounds dodgy. I'd rather save the money and get a real one, done at a proper place.

37 minute lessons? I couldn't stand that. How do you do in-class essays? (or don't you do them?) We have two period of 60min lessons, recess, 2 x 50, lunch, 2 x 40. On sport (which is Tuesday this term, Wednesday in T2+3) We have 3 lessons around 50mins each, depends on how long our college...

I should start studying, but I'll begin next week, after finishing my last bunch of assessments tomorrow. I've started doing Economics syllabus dotpoints, I've done enough Chemistry, I reckon -- all last year's notes and papers, just have to write my English essays after that.

Yeah, that'd make you a good student, but I never am able to finish all my work no matter how late I work, so I found it a bit wierd for that to be the case. It only works for some people, unfortunately =( That'd make more sense :p

I don't think I'm naturally smart. I'm able to bullshit responses better than the average person, and see things in poetry, but apart from that, I'm ordinary, more or less, according to my teachers.

How does going to bed early equal a good student?

Generally after 11-11:30, latest for me has been 1:30 doing an assignment. But I've been so exhausted lately from 3-5 hours a night I've fallen asleep waiting for people to call me around 10-10:30, and fell asleep for a second on the bus to school a few days ago.

My shit days have just been topped. I've got an English assessment, an oral on Transformations of Hamlet and R&G, due tomorrow. I left all my sheets at school because I thought they were in my book instead of my folder, and I can't do it without them 'cos I changed scene today as I couldn't...
