    Subject you like/dislike most?

    Do the teachers in your school understnad the HSC system?

    Motivational stories for HSC 2010

    These kinds of stories make me feel complacent. So that I think if I get a bad mark I can somehow pull a miracle out of nowhere and still come top 5. Scare tactics work better.

    MQ russian, anyone on BOS?

    I didn't do the course at MQ but I tried Russian for a year at some local college and holy shit the grammar was abhorrent. Decided on a easier (and more useful) choice of Chinese instead.

    Yeah, that's his trademark, switching between time signatures with such ease. I think Donati's weirdest on is in 2116 where he's doing 21/16 or something. And in Ground Zero, he's playing 2 of them at the SAME time, 5/8 and 7/8. When I first heard it, I thought Donati was on 5/8 and the...
