    What is everyone doing for their Major?

    I wish I knew...I had it all down for a Postmodern photography collection commenting on superficial judgements of people...but then my teacher had a series of 'brainwaves' which ended in my doing abstract watercolour paintings of micro-organisms (don't even ask, it makes me angry to even THINK...

    2007 Short Story Titles

    =/ I wanted something short and sweet that sticks, and because my story revolves around the folkloric creature the 'zmei' I was thinking of calling it 'Zmei' or 'Zmeiu' which is the same thing but in Russian...however, maybe I should look for something that matches the underlying concept of my...

    to cliche?

    Hmmm...I unno twists are pretty good...I mean...as long as they're done well... Characters and smart dialogue just aren't good enough unless you're saying something really 'smart' (a.k.a pretentious drivel) through that...I mean, writing a story is one thing, writing a story for Ext 2 is...

    to cliche?

    Erm...well what is your critical concept? What are you trying to say with your story, because if all in all, there is a concept which you're tryign to convey through that plot, and you do it well, then it should be fine. However, if you don't have an original and interesting critical concept...

    what is in the midterm?

    No problem, glad to help...I'd try and find some sample exams to show you but our teachers tend to not let us keep them. I'm sure there's some on the HSC sites though, there should be model responces as well.

    Bulgarian Time Signatures

    *chuckles* guess I can be of some help here. Being Bulgarian myself, I favour the uneven time sigs....but they're pretty common in a lot of music these days...as angelo-von-drez said, there's quite a bit of use of 7/8 9/8 etc...however...its impotant to remember how to group these, they're...

    what is in the midterm?

    Hasn't your teacher gone over these things with your class? I'm not sure what your exam would be like, but ours tend to be based on the HSC papers...so all I can tell you is based on that. Part 1: Three Questions. They give you pictures and info and ask you write about them and the...

    i hate BOW

    D= Wow...I didn't think I'd ever find people sensible enough to realise that Art Express is the biggest pile of crap this side of the planet. But if you're bent on getting into Art Express, just do what I did for my concept (because everything in there is concept based...probably something...
