    Ex's

    'She' wanted to be friends, but I called it a day on our whole thing - the middle ground can be really fucking awkward and I didn't want to wade through it. Some people can be fucked though, so go figure.

    What study did you do today?

    AOS Paper + Modules work for me, today. Good times. wtfwtfwtf?!?! Essays = Letter?! Website?! Memoir?! :jaw: Apart from website; granted, is a pretty 'factual' text type (similar to, say, a report, yeah?), how on earth would you approach the other two? Loads of first person, or what?

    Scenario: HSC Starts tomorrow?

    All (cram English), except ancient. Ancient marks would hurt me a fair bit.

    HSC English Paper 2008

    If you've prepared for two, then I suppose it makes sense to write for two? My five cents.

    uai estimate

    RAW marks aren't necessarily indicative of your prospective HSC mark; there are a number of variables that might influence scores during the assessment period (i.e they are NOT standardised, like the HSC). - scheduling of assessments - marking procedures - difficulty of the assessments On top...

    UAI help

    You'd need borderline Band 6 HSC marks (i.e high band 5, early band 6) in most of those. Certainly not impossible, but as is the case with any UAI that high, a fair bit of effort would be required. (I presume this is what you were after?)

    Please predict friend's UAI

    Low 80's is possible. Incidentally, I happen know somebody who goes to that school. Fun fact!

    Memorising Essays

    QFT I think for most responses (I would be VERY careful with module B) generic ideas, that cover most aspects of the rubric would be quite effective. However, in this context, knowing your texts *well* and how they relate to the module is still requisite for higher marks - otherwise, actually...

    "Why did Greece go to war with Persia during this time period"

    Syllabus says: 1 Persian Wars - origins: Persian imperialism, Ionian Revolt ================= Surely this would be it?

    Bachelor of International and Global Studies!

    Pardons for the intrusion. Alright, so this is global and international studies merged - does this mean the UAI will probably remain at 92-95ish, or does intake change? (Seriously, not getting my hopes up here.) Additionally, if anyone going to LIVE would be able to post some info for B.I.G.S...

    types of readings

    This is from a Yeats study guide. Given this is the same principle (in terms of reading), it should be plenty relevant to your question. -------------------- Fruedian / Psychanalytical Reading A fruedian reading of a text will focus on how the emotions of the thoughts of the persona /...

    Love of success or fear of failure?

    I find that if I try to motivate myself through 'love of success' I will either become complacent in any successes I do attain, or de-motivated through lack of confidence (believing that I cannot achieve my desired ends). Through fear (I'll warrant, a negative mentality) I am able to convince...

    Are you guys finding Eng Ext Fun??? share your thoughts

    To be honest, I haven't enjoyed it too much; We've had a fair share of this dry, gothic-related content (19th century texts next year, this is only going to get better), a teacher who strays in and out of relevant discussion, regularly (this is both distracting and irritating), and lots of silly...
