Obviously piano. Leaning harp instead is a silly idea, they cost shitloads, there are next to no harp teachers (at least compared to piano teachers), they're about 1/20th as versatile as the piano, there's such a limited repertoire for harp, etc etc etc. Also, you say you're into pop rather than...

In some ways I love the piano, in others, I don't. I finished 8th grade piano when I was 14, but shortly after my hands clunked out with a pretty awful bout of RSI :/ couldn't even write for about 4 months, and after that, only painfully. The interesting thing is, as soon as I stopped...

For those unaware... there is 'classical' (the broader term) and there is 'Classical' (the period from 1750 to early-ish 1800's, which included composers such as Beethoven, Mozart, etc). My favourite composers are mostly Impressionist/Romantic/20th Century... Liszt, Bartok, Ravel, Debussy...

Hey man, sorry about replying late, I'm never on here. Fair enough with the change to business... I can see the appeal, Arts isn't terribly vocational. I basically chose it so I could study some things I'm interested in, rather than get any pragmatic benefits regarding actually getting employed...

B Arts/Law ^.^

Hey man, read that you're doing Arts/Law in 2010 at Newcastle Uni... me too ^.^

This is why the SOR paper caused so many people to bitch, people had rote-learnt things for 3 areas of Islam but for some reason couldn't say a single thing about the Qu'ran. Ridiculous really.

It's strange, because if a person was, realistically, composing music for film, they'd need to know the film they're composing for and write accordingly, even more so for the old cartoons, where the action and the music are tightly co-ordinated. So if you're 'composing for film' without the...

You misspelt 'Orchid'

Yeah man, 2 novels of a different style/period/genre is still varied. Dw about it.

Your contribution to the "How many pages" thread made me immensely happy.

I don't think the Ming vase incident should be punished, the child doesn't know that he/she is doing something that could have consequences, so punishment would seem arbitrary and unfair to the child. They should firstly be told that the vase is precious and shouldn't be touched, and if they're...

Nobody needs to be punished unless they misbehave and break the rules, it's a punishment. That's the point. It shouldn't be done arbitrarily. "Do you rape children, too? You know, to teach them about life?" Did you read my post? "by your reasoning should i not be allowed to punch you...

Legal Studies on the 4th, on that night I go party with mates in Forster, next couple days set aside for relaxation and catching up on reading and music, 12th of November is my birthday, 13th is grad formal, then I go on a drunken multi-day canoe adventure with buddies :D Life is good. Life...

Uh, surely everyone here knows the nature of English exams? Save the wankery for Section III :D

ATAR aim of 93.45 for Combined Laws at Newcastle. Preferably higher than that though... Bragging rights :D

Agreed that Raniaaa's advice is very very good. I feel the same way to a degree, except about SOR really, because it's quite easy to tell if you'll do well or not in it. I wouldn't have a clue about the Englishes though, it's pretty anxious for me. Also, I really like most of my subjects so...

Yeah, stress and cramming (N) The good thing is that for most of subjects, I've already had to cram arseloads of notes a bunch of times throughout the year which has left me with pretty solid mental imprints, meaning a quick brush through notes of a subject like Legal is all I need and I'm...

Heck yes, smack the kids and lay down the goddamn law... IF... ...the child knows they've done something wrong, and it's a fair punishment considering. Don't negotiate with children, they'll think they're on equal terms with the parents. They aren't. They don't make the rules, they follow...

Not that you -cant- though... I just mean, I don't think writing quantitatively more will necessarily score better marks, particularly if the writing drags or meanders.
