    Introductory Greek

    I'm keen on doing Introductory Greek A as one of my courses in the first semester and potentially pursuing the later courses after it (Introductory Greek B, Classical Greece, etc.) However, my parents and grandmother think it's not practical and I should choose a language like Italian or French...

    UNSW chit chat thread

    Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 Are there any buses to UNSW you can get where you can use a single trip ticket? I know they won't be on Express, but I really don't want to have to get an adult card at the same time as a concession card...

    UNSW chit chat thread

    Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2017 Does anyone know how the hell you get a concession Opal card? I sent my details off to Transport for NSW a few days ago, and I just went in today to Opal's website to apply, but the form says you need the ID number on your proof of entitlement card, and I'm under...

    First Year Looking for Degree Structure Help

    I'm starting at UNSW in February and I'm trying to work out my courses. I'm doing a Bachelor of Arts, hoping to major in creative writing, but for the life of me, I can't work out what the structure of the first year of my degree is, or how many courses I'm supposed to enrol in. Can anyone help...

    Thanks, BLIT. I emailed UC's Admission Centre; I hope that's enough.

    Post Your 2017 University Offers Here

    Bachelor of Arts at UNSW! Also received an offer from the SRS for UC's Bachelor of Writing. I accepted it, but I don't intend to go there now. Does anyone know how to withdraw offer acceptances?

    General thoughts: English Advanced Modules Paper 2

    I let out a collective silent cheer for joy for the whole paper, I must admit. IT WAS PERFECT. 'Only' 5 and a half pages! I did 2 and a bit for each! I'm screwed!

    Inside Out from Pixar or The Alchemyst by Michael Scott. (If you are who I think you are, thanks for recommending it to me all the way back in Year 7!)

    Completely lost motivation

    So I did my Trials and I handed in my major projects. I thought I'd take a bit of time off just to recoup. I got my Trials marks back and... I wasn't entirely satisfied. Some of them were good, yes. ANC. HIST.: 81% (okay) DRAMA: 67% (not happy) ENG. ADV.: 68% (really not happy with this)...

    Performance in English

    Coming up to the Trials, I find myself faced with a rather intractable problem. I'm doing pretty decently in my other subjects, but my performance in English Advanced and English Extension both leave much to be desired. I've just recently got my last assessment tasks back: 15/20 in an in-class...

    Handling workload in the holidays

    A fair point, but I'm not so sure about it. It is true it would leave me more time to revise if I got the assignments done quicker, but at the same time, I don't want to leave my study notes incomplete—my Ancient and History Extension notes are woefully behind, for example. Considering I have to...

    Handling workload in the holidays

    Yes, that is true as well. All work and no play... On a happier note, I just did some quick mental calculations and I realised I can have all three of my assignments done in a week if I work a little at them every day. That is a very comforting thought. If I can keep that in mind, maybe I'll...

    Handling workload in the holidays

    Yeah, good point. I am focusing more on my assignments than my study notes and revision right now; I just don't want to completely neglect the latter two until the end of the holidays. I'm aiming for a 76+ ATAR, but ideally above 80, and the texts I'm doing for Advanced are The Tempest, John...

    Handling workload in the holidays

    Good point. It's just that I have so much to do for everything that I don't think I can afford to miss a day for any one of my subjects at this point. I don't know...

    Disasters Research Task

    I'm currently doing a research task for Senior Science that covers many of the dot points for the Disasters topic. One of the things I have to do is list a number of organisations in the Shire (e.g. the police, the ambulance service, the SES, the fire brigade, etc.), their phone numbers and...

    Right. It's all worth it in the end! Hopefully.

    Handling workload in the holidays

    Truly? It doesn't seem like it to me... Maybe that's because I have anxiety issues.

    Handling workload in the holidays

    I guess prioritising is what I should do. Catching up on study notes I can leave till when it comes time to revise. Assignments first.

    Handling workload in the holidays

    Yeah, may be time to start considering pushing my bedtime back. Only problem with that is I often have early morning lessons. I guess we'll have to see what works best for me.
