    Major Work

    Good work so far... keep it up! Remember, the earlier you finish your first full working draft, the sooner you can start your first full reworking :p That's when the real fun begins!

    Advice leading to confusion

    Um, and the only reason to live is to earn money :P If you don't think you're going to earn a lot of money in later life, why try? Just kill yourself now and be done with it. Similarly, why are we doing EE2 at all? Omg... could it possibly be because we are royally pissed off at how a lot of the...

    The MQ Get Healthy/Study Thread

    I take classes in a whole bunch of places around sydney - tap in turramurra/kellyville (until glenn stopped teaching :( ), flamenco in newtown etc. I did most of my jazz/hiphop/etc stuff down at Sydney Dance Company, which is very near Circular Quay. I was taught swing/salsa by a friend of a...

    The MQ Get Healthy/Study Thread

    Sweetheart, all forms of dance use creativity and "moving to the beat". And no, you're never to old to learn any form of dance. There's this woman that is probably around 60 that did the same hiphop classes as me - she was awesome :D Ballroom is kind of a subgenre of the partner dancing...

    "f.... dance"? lol... I hope you mean flamenco dance ;) And no, it's not really the sort of thing you could pull off in a club. Flamenco is the folk/national dance of Spain - think fiery passion, castanets, palmas (hand-clapping) high-intensity footwork, wrist movements and lots of...

    Craptastic predicted UAI

    Wrong... there are many "back ways" into uni. And maybe if a person doesn't get the UAI they need, it means they shouldn't be doing that course?! Major generalisation I know, but I'll admit I'm from the "shut up and accept whatever UAI you got" camp.

    HAHAHAHAHA! In other news, I've been dancing since I was 6, however I think I'd been doing "phyzzie" (physical culture) since I was 4ish... stopped a year or two after though :p I love dance, however do bear in mind different dance forms have different levels of intensity. If you actually...

    The MQ Get Healthy/Study Thread

    It's all about personal goals and methods, sweetie :) If exercise is your target area, you don't need to worry about going to the gym as often as Anne, or doing as many situps as me etc etc, because we're all different people with different target areas and different methods that we're going to...

    Retreat From The Global

    Calm down, joe :p mik - in regards to creative writing pieces, I think it's a much better idea focusing on core (simple) concepts by trying to write something extremely complicated. Since I've had really blah food today I'm going to use a cake analogy: A good short story is a bit like a...

    It sounds like it, but actually isn't. Flamenco for the most part is low/medium intensity until you get the the higher levels. Since I'm *used* to working at the higher level for basically all my other dance forms, flamenco doesn't give me much of a workout unless we're talking about arm muscles...

    Advice leading to confusion

    The EE2 course currently delights in postmodern works, and your teacher is probably pushing you towards that (assuming it's a technical issue... ). If something really isn't your thing, I'm of the mind you shouldn't force yourself to do it unless it's merely an exercise in experimentation (eg...

    Re: The MQ weightloss/marks gain Support Thread! Hey Mike, could you change the title of the thread to "the MQ get healthy/study thread? Or something like that... :p I agree with clairegirl that the title doesn't really reflect its motive. You're sweet, brogan. :) But heh, if you think...

    Re: The MQ weightloss/marks gain Support Thread! haha, are we talking "other days" or "life up till that point?" :p I was eating white bread, but that was because it was the only variety avaliable at the time :( Normally I eat wholemeal bread, and have been doing so for years now :) As for...

    Writing Band 6 Essays - The Real Secret

    I had a discussion with another BOSer about regurgitated essays once. We ended up agreeing that it was possible to get a band 6, however with only a low possibility of getting a HIGH band six :) Personally I'm a huge advocate of knowing your content well, and having a good enough grasp of essay...
