    <4 Days & I'm starting to feel sick T_T

    When I stress too much I get this thing called sleep paralysis whilst I'm trying to sleep. It's pretty freaky, your body goes into sleep mode (self-induced paralysis) but you're wide awake and can't move... and I keep having weird HSC dreams. FML.

    Subject Selection Help please

    Re: english student Don't forget that with Extension 2 comes Advanced and Extension 1. So if you did all the units you're suggesting, you'd be doing 15...which I wouldn't wish upon anyone. I'd say get rid of General Maths (if your strengths don't lie there), and PDHPE. From what I know, PDHPE...

    Notes on sylvia plath related text - 'Daddy"

    Off the top of my head...these are just techniques, you need to find meanings for them. Use of rhyme mimicking a nursery rhyme/children's song Supernatural imagery Colour symbolism Parallel Apostrophe (talking directly to her father) Contrast

    Start Major Work in Yr 11? Good Idea?

    Ahh, Patar. I very nearly chose multimedia because of that work. But then I thought it was waaaaay too much work! 49/50 is an amazing mark. If i don't get that this year I will probably jump off the nearest cliff.

    you mean trials? yeah, they were pretty epic, but i managed to stay on top of things. i tried to get most of my majors done before trials (although, that didn't always work out..plus some of my majors were performances :S), but overall it was pretty smooth. Yeah, my HSC timetable = fantastic...

    Conflicting Perspectives Question

    My friend called the BOS about this module and asked a billion questions. Apparently it is 'quite unlikely' that they will ask for a particular poem within Birthday Letters.

    Are you ready?

    I love major work subjects. Subjects with major works = ridiculously easy theory exams = only really studying for English and English Ext.

    How many words are your essays

    Fuck no, the marker thinks 'Oh shit, I have to read through ALL of this?!' ...do you know the conditions they work in? Some massive warehouse which is either stinking hot or freezing cold, going through exam paper after exam paper...

    Science and Math vs Humanities and the Arts

    Say wha? A book anal-ist? Err, anyway. The arts are supposed to be about expression, and the school system doesn't really allow for that, but only because they have to regiment our study in a way that can be eventually assessed (via the HSC). I understand why some would enjoy science and...

    How many words are your essays

    Usually I scribble down a quick mnemonic just to jolt my memory. Especially for things like Module B, when there's waaaay too much to say.

    Science and Math vs Humanities and the Arts

    Despite what people may think, subjects like Drama and Music 2 are actually quite content heavy and labour intensive. Due to the practical components of the courses, they're actually quite hard to prepare for/study. People treat arts subjects like complete bludges, and it is simply not the case...

    How many words are your essays

    10 minutes for thinking?! Shit. Wish I could do that, I just vomit out the first thing that comes to my head. I can't think in exam situations, I just write...probably to my detriment.
