LOL looking at your internal ranks. it's pretty hard to be disappointed by your marks even if you don't produce the same standards in the HSC.

Your in a safehouse, i normally call it.

Possible, yes but i have a weird act of ignoring people.
Ahahaha thanks... but i dunno. For some reason things for me seem to screw up last minute (my ex boyfriend... etc lol)

Ahahaha Ignoring people *raises an eyebrow* is that like an emo-i-think-im-cool, a high-brow-academia or an accidental ignoring :p

It was pretty good, Core was pretty good, Germany question b was easy and the Leni one was pretty easy too. I thought the Arab Israeli part a sucked ass. Also with the question on gas warfare in the core, i thought that the graph showed casualties from the gas for the entire war, and i want to know if everyone else picked up that the US didnt enter until 1918 and that the question asked what country had the least casualties from 1916-1917, (probably dont understand what i am going on about but anyway)
the US entered in march 1917 i think...but yeh there wouldnt have been that many US soldiers actually at the fronts

Ha! an anti-socialite who wants to club hmmmm... ahaha oxymoron :S

I guess if people want to make the effort to get to know others then they will, so it shouldn't really matter. Are you shy then?

Re: Howd you find it?

what was the last Core question, who can remember?

i have a bad feeling i misread it in the exam so am worried i majorly screwed up the content part of the Core Question....

i thought it said a historian studying changing attitudes on the home front in Britian and Germany over time and varying attitudes in britian and germany

as for the personality study, the quote was quite perfect for my personality (albert speer) ... modern sure made up for my fails in economics lololl

Ahaha when I moved from Eng to my school atm in early yr 9... I was terrified of everyone and everything and just didn't talk...
I seriously CRIED the first time I had to do a speech *blush*

But then I just got over it, because I wanted to do drama and actually make something of my life.

Alternative is good :)

I noticed that about the gas casualties too.

I found that the modern continued what i have found to be really (comparatively) easy tests this year after english and maths.

I did Germany(a) and Indochina(a). Both were pretty easy and relatively straightforward. Hardest was Speer for part (b) of personalities but i think i coped well.
I did the same ones, all I can say now is THANK GOD I DON'T HAVE TO HEAR ABOUT SPEER ANYMORE! it's always been my weak point lol
I think it was a good exam though, better than I expected, Loved the germany question!
