    Prison Break (For people following US tv)

    Yep in the promo for season 3 it said "hes been on the run for a year" . . . that seems a long time. . . . i didn't think it would have been that long but i was thinking something around 5-6 months on the run.

    Im doing yr 11 and yr 12 in one year for my HSC and..

    Strongly disagree. Although year 12 is a time where things gets 'serious', and there is probably more stress involved, it is no more workload than you receive in year 11. They have to fit the preliminary course into 3 terms, meaning that you have assessments literally every 7 weeks or so...

    What happens if a majority of the yr fails a subject ?

    How is it possible to fail (<50%) in legal studies?? Maybe its just our school but legal is a subject where you can usually waffle your way through an answer and still get ok marks. Actually with any humanities subject its fairly difficult to 'fail' but maybe your markers are just incredibly...

    The subject you have the most confidence in.

    Yeah 2 unit maths is fairly good - but for some reason as soon as it goes to 3 unit . . . . complete failure. Its like that one extra unit constitutes a completely different subject, and all that success in 2unit goes out the door. Anywayz, other subject im confident in is definately legal...

    What's on your Year 12 Jersey?

    Creative Stories - need help, any examples?

    Yeah im kind of dreading the creative writing section as well. Im not a bad essayist but when they ask for some kind of creative writing i always do worse. The thing is, when they give you free choice to do whatever, everyone always thinks "yeah write a story i suppose" but then they always come...

    What did you achieve these holidays?

    Nooo this makes it sound as though the holidays are over and ive got no time left . . . its a lie i tell you! no but seriously ive done 'some' stuff but not nearly as much as i should have been doing. Added to that is that fact it was pretty much all in one subject, i have completely...

    Polynomial Questions

    Thanks for the responses. Yeah i knew how to get a and b, bos was answering the second part of the question because that was the part i didn't know how to do. So basically you divide 6x^4 - x^3 - 17x^2 +16x - 4 using long division by x^2 + x - 2. Ok well i havent learnt how to do that yet. We...

    Polynomial Questions

    forgive me for being a bit slow here . . we were bascially told to go home and learn polynomials. . . so i have limited knowledge. So multiplying the factors would give x^2 + x - 2. So your saying divide 6x^4 - x^3 - 17x^2 +16x - 4 by x^2 + x - 2. I do not know how to do this. :haha:

    A question on motion

    Ok saying that the object has acceleration means that it must be moving? So for me i would chuck out f.) Actually i was just about to say that i personally thought that moving to the left was impossible as well but the other two posters have got me doubting myself. Like are you saying that an...

    Polynomial Questions

    I think i must be really bad at polynomials so here goes . .. Ok its from exercise 27.b) in the Fitzpatrick 3 unit book. Question 23. Q: Given that (x-1) and (x+2) are two factors of 6x^4 + ax^3 - 17x^2 + bx - 4, find 'a' and 'b' and the other two factors Ok so i can get a = -1 and b =...

    Too slow?

    I am much the same. Ive been doing my legal notes for like 3 days straight now . . probably only about 4 hours in total because i just get distracted by other things and time just seems to fly by. And even when i actually am doing solid work .. its just really slow. I suppose its because i...

    Deja Vu

    Man i thought this was friken brilliant. Apart from the suspect way in which time travel is done, the movie was really good. The thing is, it doesn't neccessarily have to be completely believable, you just accept it and yeah its a good movie.

    Pursuit Of Happyness

    Yeah it was alrite i suppose but it was a bit long and got tiresome in some places. One thing that i didnt exactly expect was that the whole time, the pursuit was for money and not really happiness. I understand that they were poor and disadvantaged and what-not but like the whole time it is...

    Commerce: UNSW or Sydney?

    Surely there is more to this than a white/asian divide? The cutoff for usyd last year was 93.4 compared to 93 for unsw. Yeah this is a negligible difference but it does represent some kind of advantage in terms of demand for this uni. The whole asian/white thing doesn't come into it at all...

    Top Schools of 2006 - Daily Telegraph

    At first i thought they were the best because they have the highest mark for the the selective schools test but then i haven't really heard this information anywhere- it was just that everyone says "ohh its really hard to get into james ruse". However this is probably because they are...

    Expectations

    With no expectations im destined not to be dissapointed. But really, obviously i would like to do as well as i can, and to do that ill be putting in the effort (yeah it sounds good now but wait until i actually do put in the effort lol). To be honest though i hadn't really thought about the...

    Marking against merit

    I definately know what your talking about. Its not like ive been adversely affected by this, or that i can conclusively say that this is what teachers do but i have my suspicions. Its not really much of an issue, as far as i can see, with essays because a lot of teachers claim that they do not...
