I do japanese from high school at UOW, and you get to go straight to second year. We have 5 hours of class per week, which is good because you get to know everyone well. We used the textbooks Situational FUnctional Japanese and Basic Kanji.
Don't worry about your exam being packed into a small space. I had two double exam days when i did the HSC last year and it keeps you in the mood. If you have week gaps you get out of swing.

I thought the excerpt from gotaifumanzoku was easy, the R&RinJ wasnt bad, but we'd done very very very little on conversation, could bludge my way through it though. the writing questions were challenging but managed to write what i needed to. wasn't easy, not tooooooo bad... finished...
Stylistic Tool of the author
Thats what our teacher calls it - a stylistic tool of the author. It fills space, sounds intelligent: perfect!
PLus everything everyone else says!
Me too

ERgh, but short and sweet and over with quickly.
Also had English Jap ENglish for the first three days. Nice at the timetabling place arent they?
In UOW if you park illegally where there is also no parking, you get a NSW infringement notice which is done through the RTA and its very expensive. $66 sounds nice. I've paid more for parking in Sydney city, without any fines, in those big carparks.
Our school accelerates anything you want. Its ok, but there are a lot of immature stupid idiots. We have a girl in our grade whos just 14, and its not very good for her (considering the rest of us are 17 and 18).
Still some peple do very well who accelerate.
I do this course, I find it thoroughly easy and enjoyable. If you stick at it and try moderately hard, it is certainly not a hard course to do well in. And if you do well, it reflects in your marks.
I go to a selective high school and we have the highest hospitality candiditure in our area, so...
I went to uni and did a course as part of yr11 and that was the best thing i ever did. I thought i liked a lot of science, but i found out there was only a tiny bit i did like. Unis have tonnes of discovery style days, i have been to soooooo many in the past and they are invaluable. Try one.
I find school relevant, because i dont actually think you'd honestly get that much study done alone at home, but a lot of the content in the courses is irrelevant. I find myself analysing texts that dont need analysing (such as general reading books). Im not the only one i know who does this!
