I'm with Caintoad on this one, I too have a speech due in a week and have been asked to " describe how the language forms, features and structures of texts shape meaning and influence responses" now this would be ok, if i actually understood that, but i'm not quite sure I do. Combine this...

Yeah I reckon I'll give it a go. Although being the severe procrastinator that I am I'm already apprehensive about my ability to just get stuck into the work. Ahh well at least now I can drop chemistry and extension maths!

I so should have studied more and my results show it, but I did no more than 2 hours the day before each exam and got these poor results: Mathematics: 73% (70/96) - no idea what rank Maths Ext: 53% (32/60) - again, not sure about rank, but a fair few in the class failed (the lowest score...

Re: Preliminary HSC Assessments-Thoughts/Results v1.0 Hey I've just started to get my results back. Before my exams I was all ready to knuckle down and study my arse off, but I procrastinate SO much and didn't really get around to it. So with no more than about 2 hours study pre subject, the...

Yeah I find little sayings help to motivate me too. I use the one "Prior Preparation Prevents Poor Performance"

This may sound slack, but sadly it is true. Part of my motivation to achieve so well academically is my friends. My stupid friends.And the other idiots at my school. My friends and other people at school who don't really give a shit about school, have absoultely no idea what they want to do...

Thanks SO much webby234, Mountain.Dew, Iruka, it was a big help!

Hey I'm doing 3 unit too, but am having difficulty with the basic 2 unit bit and am thinking of dropping back to 2 unit. I'm having trouble with xy = 4 , 2x-y-7= 0 simultaneously and factorising 2x^2 -3x + 1= 0 I'm begging my parents for a tutor but they wont budge, so I'm on my...

Hey in class we looked at The Conciliation by Benjamin Duterrau, 1840 and contrasted that with The National Picture by Geoff Parr, 1985, which is an appropriation of the 1st one. Hope it helps somewhat.

I am having a bit of trouble with physics too. I reckon my teacher has a few screws loose and I don't really like him or his teaching methods, and i would complain to someone higher, but he is the head teacher. I don't even like or enjoy physics, and aren't really getting all the concepts 100%...

I am reading Snow Falling On Cedars for Ext English. I admit it is pretty boring - I dont like it how it keeps skipping between the trial and the pasts of the characters, but alas what do you do? Gotta read the remaining 300 pages of it for Thursday eep!

In ext eng our topic is Heroes, but mainly the unlikely hero and I am supposed to be reading Snow Falling on Cedars for it as we speak.

Crap. I have to change "Campuses" (moving from junior to senior) and it is only yr 11's for today and tomorrow. Now that would be fine, if we were doing work, but we aren't. Our school has brought in this team of young, "hip" twenty somethings to try to motivate us and get us "getting to know"...

This year I'm doing: Adv English Ext English Adv Maths Ext Maths Physics Chemistry Legal Studies Economics 14 units and shit-scared! I already want to drop Ext English but English is one of best subjects, the other being History, so I am thinking about changing to Modern History...
