    4 Unit English

    I feel so conflicted... yes no yes no I dont know. I'll probably end up doing it and then dropping it half way through the year, leaving me with 11 units. Sound like a plan? :)

    Anybody planning on sacrificing something for yr 12?

    Music can be used as a stress management/relief stratergy during the HSC, rather than a burden. MSN and Myspace are the least productive ways tp spend time. If you want to sacrifice something, they should be the first to go. p.s. sorry if i sound teacher/parent- like

    English Classes - Eep!

    My advanced English class consists of an amazingly intelligent teacher introducing complex ideas, terminology, concepts and most often, irrelevant information to us, while we write down every word that she says as though it was God speaking. Extension 1 is interesting, fun and relaxed yet...

    I only work under pressure

    That's a good idea! But pressure can also be a positive thing. It depends how you view it. Try not to see it as "pressure" but more as 'productive energy'. Knowing that an assessment is ACTUALLy due in 12 hours helps me sit at my desk and DO some work. Sometimes i produce great stuff at...

    Term 3 Goals

    The way i see it is that as soon as term 4 begins and everyone realises that year 12 had begun, every one will up their game and really put their head down and get their act together. 1. My goal for term 3 is to see this term as a practice for the next 4 terms that will follow. This term...

    How much pressure do your parents put on you?

    It depends. If i go badly in something that i didn't study enough for, by parents will yell and yell and yell until they have reduced me to nothing. Then push me to do well next time. But if it is obvious that i tried hard, and i still didn't get a good mark, they are much more understanding...

    are you dropping

    I'm not sure... I'm thinking of dropping business sudies OR legal studies which leaves me with 11 units and then (maybe) picking up Ext2 english and dropping it during the year if it gets to be too much to handle. I also want to drop from Mathematics to General, but i don't really have the...

    Is it suicide to do both Extension 2 courses (Eng + Maths)?

    That's great that you are talented enough to do 4 units of both english and maths. If you feel that you won't hate yourself for making the decision, then by all means do it! I can understand that you want to minimise the number of other subjects that you're doing through increasing the...

    HSC STUDENTS: Have you ever had that feeling where you go: Fuck this, I quit!?

    Try to put the HSC in perspective (easier said than done, i know) Just realise that obsessive teachers, demanding parents and compeditive friends are driving themselves crazy over something as stupid as a number! Just because you spend 2 years killing yourself with stress, doesn't mean that...
