Ahhh fuck. If it is a prank, it would have to be about the cruelest prank one could pull on an extension 2er. Shit, I feel sorry for you if it is. If you want me to help you murder the pranksters, just pm me.

I got my letter some time during the HSC I think, or between the HSC and my formal which was at the end of november, so I doubt anything this early would be legit. Also the only phonecall I ever got about the showcase was early this year before it was published to finalise the format of my mw so dont pay too much attention if someone calls you, the first you should hear about the showcase should be in a letter from the Board.

And yeah thats a horrible joke for someone to play.

And no you didnt need to get 50 for your internal mark to get into the showcase, I didnt get that and actually I wasnt even ranked first. Our teachers were asses :D

That's what I'd heard too, but for some reason I was under the impression that they call you and then send out a letter. Ah well. Takes longer, but waiting for a letter is certainly more suspenseful!

BTW, I loved your major work, probably as I am a big Eliot and Ginny Woolf fan. I found your RS exceptional, and the first sentence so perfectly simplistic that I actually copied it for my USYD Scholarship application (replaced poetry with "the humanities" - me sucking up to an Arts faculty). Hope you don't mind :D

That prank was absolutely downright mean, and I hope karma bites them on the butt... HARD. Hope you're feeling better now, both physically and emotionally. :)

Augh, I am just plagued with self-doubt!!!!!!! No way, you will not get a low score, or my protest will take on epic proportions, unseen before on this planet.

Are we gonna fight over who's got the worst work now?:p Your work was great, and a good handful of uni students would wish that they could hand something that good in for an assignment - so don't worry!
lol, It seems that EE2 BoS class of 05 will just have to bodily assault the marking centres if any of us get a low score:D
