    how do you concentrate?

    My mind keeps wandering. I can't sit still for more than five minutes. Literally. At maximum, I sit for ten before I have to move again. Not just a shift. I mean like getting off my chair and just running around. Yes, I said RUNNING. Anyone else experiencing this funny condition?

    Is a 'deep' concept neccessary?

    Seeing as there's only about 4 months left before I hand in my BOW, my teacher's given up trying to change my concept, so now she keeps telling me to improve it and that it's too shallow. I just don't get it - how deep is a concept meant to be? My current one is something along the lines of...

    what if you crash a HUGE test?

    Right-o I just completely bombed my last exam worth 20%, and I'm currently REALLY at the bottom of my grade. So, if my ranking's really low and say in the HSC I get really good, then that good mark goes to someone else, right? So does that mean...I cannot get a band 6 anymore? And does a band 5...

    having problems with Belonging!

    Okay, standard short response question - "what does this tell you of belonging?" How to reply? It sounds kinda lame if I say something along the lines of "this tells me that belonging is part of everyone." What's a good, sound response to such questions?
