Thankyou for appreciating my list :) Really? I used to work in a bookshop, and the owner told me that little piece of information about Emily Rodda/Lian Hearn... How awful that she was misled! And how embarrassing for me... oh well. Thankyou for enlightening me :)

Lol. As a matter of fact, yes it was you that told me. Thanks Horse :) Lulz... you're teasing me right now about my red coat. Thanks.

Lol, thanks ari89... hopefully I'll get my 83. And hopefully I'll get higher, too. That sounds like such a good plan. And I've looked at the Communications courses at UTS, they look fantastic! I thought about doing the Writing and Cultural Studies, or Social Inquiry, and I was definitely...

Oh no! I have been, too! I guess I just assume that everything is recent :confused: My apologies. I agree, that many people assume yr 11 counts for nothing so they don't bother trying. And if people aren't capable of Ext, they drop out in a few weeks anyway... so I don't think it's that big a deal.

B Ancient History (Hon)- Macquarie :) I know I'll get the UAI, which is somewhat of a relief. I want to travel as much as I can during breaks. I considered taking a gap year, but I'm already travelling this year and don't think it's necessary... I really want to be an archaeologist, so...

Hmmm... this is quite an interesting topic to think about. Dance music... I don't "listen" to it per se, but at dances/discos, etc., I really enjoy that kind of music... There's something about it that helps me to relax and have fun, and destress. I go to a selective school, and I find that so...

Yes! I heard that story too, about the helium balloons! A friend told me on Friday, right before we did our speeches. Note: steer clear of using Imagine by John Lennon, in any aspect. My teacher told me that it's guaranteed at least 5000 students use it every year. But yes, I agree with emca...

Oh! How perfect for Spec Fic! See, I've never heard of it before. And that's the text we're NOT using. We've done The Handmaid's Tale, and just finished Lord of the Rings. We've done a lot on our own additional material in the meantime. And we're starting Dune when we go back next term (the next...

I think it definitely depends on the person. I find Advanced English, and probably Extension 1 also, very easy. And Ancient History... yes, there's a huge amount of content, but it comes really easily to me. So I think it's personal, whatever suits you. I know if I was doing Maths and Sciences...

Lol! I like you, jhakka. And I agree, it's cool seeing the huge variety... Just wondering though, has anyone else read anything by Jostein Gaarder? I didn't see anyone reply with a 'favourite book' by him :mad1: That makes me feel sad.

You definitely need to acknowledge the audience more. It's never been a big deal for us, up until Friday when we had speeches on Imaginative Journeys. The biggest problem was students saying "Good morning" and "Thankyou" at the beginning and end, and just reading out an essay. Could you put in a...

zomg... look how similar our subjects are!! i want to go to macquaire too :) umm... we havent had an assessment for legal yet. and my half yearlies start monday, so i guess my rankings will change very soon. first in english advanced, ext 1 and 2 (15/15, 15/15, 10/10 respectively...) first...

bec! i know 'tis you... emma here. gosh i love our history extension class... mr wright is so good. the only requirement, which wasnt reeeally enforced so it was more a guide, was to be in the top 5 for either ancient or modern... which i guess is pretty intense considering we go to gosford...

Gosford! Yay! Hello Horseypie... lulz. I wonder who you could be... heh. I'm still trying to figure out who Shortbread is. I'm wondering if it's Pat S? Enlighten me. There are a few from James Ruse... are any of you going on an Academy Travel tour to Europe in a few weeks? Because we're going...

hello! i just did an assessment task (speech) on imaginative journeys, using the ivory trail (bos stimulus booklet) and life of pi. although i found heaps of information on the book itself, i found that linking it to journeys could only be done through my own knowledge of the text. if its any...

buzzcut! i know its you,ben.tis emma here.are you in top boys?because encouraging you to use a poem sounds very much like a woman who goes by the name of... mrs stevens. we had a speech on friday for imaginative journeys,and i used life of pi as my additional material.it works well :)

I had no idea that UNSW ran a Financial Literacy Comp... but this is probably because I live in my own world, and that world doesn't include anything remotely mathematical. Someone said that being the 100th percentile may not necessarily mean you come first overall, because it could be rounded...

this is so exciting, i saw my school's name and decided to have a read. hello kevin!tis emma here.i hope normo boys is going well. now mark,i wonder if you are currently at my school? ok well,the teachers...we have some very good ones, and then some not so good ones.but i think the good...

Reality Bites. It represents the '90s for me.
