    confused about idea

    * write down ALL ideas * write ABOUT all ideas * cull the crap ones, keep the good ones, etc etc. You'll find it easier to focus on a singular concept when you have a smaller/better quality pool of ideas to work from.

    need idea (moderate ranting)

    Grand ideas are all very well, but ultimately it all comes down to how well you can WRITE these ideas (aka bringing concepts to life). When in a pickle I'd start with three different (random) ideas, even if you think they're stupid ones. Make sure you have variety. Then, write 500 words on...

    Try to keep things on topic though, ok? If you 'just want to clarify something for one person' and it has no value to anyone else on the forum, try pming it next time. :)

    False Eyelashes

    Probably a good idea to experiment. You can probably do it yourself, but be prepared for it to be time consuming. I haven't done the individual lash thing myself, but have done normal false eyelashes. Generally you can get a similar effect, it's just that individual lashes look more natural...

    SCMP office - when "today" become "tomorrow?"

    heehee, mine isn't going to do that ;) she's a little on the unprepared side, but she's lovely and 8 1/2 months pregnant :p but *sigh*. I'm going to veer on the safe side and get mine in by 5pm, even if it's crap and it kills me. I'd love to experiment one day with the whole timing thing...

    Help for struggling RFTG students 2007

    Digging is a pretty good example of how Heaney uses the global to promote the local. The important thing to remember is that times have changed - Heaney isn't really in a position to be able to continue family tradition by becoming a turf-cutter (ok, so he could if he REALLY wanted to...) but he...

    SCMP office - when "today" become "tomorrow?"

    the thing is, in the outline it doesn't give a specific time for when the assessment is due (possibly linked to tutors not caring what time it gets in). But if the only way they can tell it got in by a particular date is if it gets there before the 5pm sheet of paper... :/ then scariness...

    SCMP office - when "today" become "tomorrow?"

    My CUL202 essay is due Thurs 16th Nov (tomorrow). My tutor has said that she doesn't really care what time it gets handed in, so long as it gets handed in on that day. So my question is, how late can I hand it in? Assumably everything up till the time office closes (somewhere between 5 and...

    anyone particularly nifty with cul202 or is particularly popular with people who are?

    Story of my life - haven't been to too many cul202 (creative writing unit) lectures. Figured I could just listen to ilectures and read the notes on it later. Listening to ilectures is going fine, but the lecture notes...? There's a link up there to download Week 9. But not any other weeks...

    America's Next Top Model - Cycle 7

    I would like to state for the record that I very much like Brooke as a person. She's adorable! The question remains though - if things like her high school graduation were so important to her, why didn't she just wait another year before applying for ANTM? I have this terrible fear that...

    grr weather conditions not right for study

    aww no :( If you think the heat pack is too warm, it probably is. Depending on the heat, make sure there's a towel between you and the heat pack, or wrap it up in a pillowcase :)

    I just kicked someone's crap off a tableeeee!!!

    "far too large and cranky to be messed with" ^ lol! I'm too soft-hearted to slam books on floor. I'd probably be really selective about which table I pick to... don't want any scary-looking types trying to convince me that I shouldn't "steal" their absent friend's table :/

    Question regarding related texts for all english

    No, preliminary material is fine to use as related texts for the HSC. :) I don't quite understand the second question...do you mean "how to avoid using overused texts?" There's no real way to "guard" yourself, you just have to make careful choices about what you use. From browsing through...
