its kinda annoying cos we had really bad teachers in yr 9 and 10 for IST and that made our class of about 25 mostly hate the subject, so we only got 9 in yr 11 and 6 in yr 12...

it'd be a good subject if some half decent teachers taught it and the content wasnt so boring... *shrug* :)

Oh I see. You can't blame the other students....the teacher is to blame. lol

I never did IST in Year 9 & 10. I did Software since there was nothing else to pick! hehehe

True, my teacher's okay I guess.....but the content is really boring. They should find ways to make it more interesting. :)

i wrote a game based on the TV show supernatural.
you can pick your chartacter and it had 3 types of levels - the first was a car dodging traffic, then second was sidescrolling where you have to jump, duck and use 4 diff weapons for 4 diff monsters, and the last was like a shootout.

it was pretty fun to make.

Wow, that's awesome. Good job.
I see....hehehe

I ended up getting 95% for it, the highest mark in the class. I'm happy with my mark. It just seems like my teacher hates giving out full marks, I always get a mark that is one mark away from full marks. lol

I did my on Flash......and I'm guessing you did too.

nah mine was in VB - it was suprisingly easy.

yeah i havent gotten full marks for anything for about 3 years besides a 2 unit maths sighted task that we did about 3 months ago, but it was expected and heaps of people got full marks so...

what are you hoping to get into next yr?

VB.....that's cool. I didn't use VB since it would need a lot of coding.

Me, I want to do some Business & I.T course at uni.....

And you?

Ahh okay. They're pretty high though. But I'll also try to get above 85.
Yup, and I have freaking Business Studies the very first day. lol
I actually haven't been studying since the trials.

Nope, I go to a catholic school and they said no. Or else we'll all get in trouble or something. :(
