    Crime Fiction

    well i said it was a burning car, but wasn't too sure. Made my story up on the spot, was a bit wierd but i was pretty happy with it. Think it showed the conventions of crime fiction anyway. Essay definitely wasn't good for a prepared response i reckon. Struggled to synthesise any analysis of...

    How's the pimples going?

    my usually clear skin has turned to shit and seeing as i have a tendency to do whatever i can to distract myself from studying, squeezing them has become a new hobby of mine (gross i know, very sorry, but its true) which has in turn made them worse. While they may be producing a highly...

    i rang the hsc advice line yesterday and asked that exact question and the guy i spoke to said you should have 2 supp texts bcoz in the syllabus it says 'texts' in plural, and if they happen to ask for two and u only use one then you'll lose a lot of marks. and seeing as i only had one related...
