    Does anyone do EE2 and Society and Culture?

    Counting drama as 2, I have 5 major works, and i really don't see why everyone struggles so much with it all..? I love all my creative subjects, and I think the more you enjoy your major work the more you'll feel inclined to work on it. Everything i'm doing is of a personal interest to me, and i...

    Does anyone do EE2 and Society and Culture?

    A close friend of mine recently dropped EE2 after doing both those subjects. I think he said it just took up too much of his time, and he liked Society & Culture better. I have 5 major works this year, and as long as you stay on top of them it's really not that hard!

    Ext. II English people- Finished your first draft yet?

    I'm doing poetry, so the word-count is less, and i'm not sure whether quantity=quality in this case. But i certainly have finished my 2nd draft. I actually think i'm done. Which can't be right, can it?

    criticise me. please.

    Well, you use words that don't necessarily mesh with your context, or the impressions you're trying to create. To a marker with no connection to you (like myself), it seems like you have right clicked alot of words on MS Word and found an interesting synonym. ie. 'peremptorily', 'genuflect'...

    criticise me. please.

    Woah, there. Writing a good imaginative response does not mean swallowing a thesaurus. Using too many 'look how clever i am' words detracts from the actual story. I also think you don't frame your similes well enough. They stick out a little too much. Try to tell less, and show more. Your...

    that was a little ignorant, don't you think?

    Depression and the HSC - how do you cope?

    That is so true. They are literally everywhere. I mean, the emo subculture is entirely founded on that idea. I used to snicker at people who said they were going through depression when it was very obviously certain they were not. The trivialisation of depression has made it a seemingly less...
