Am I the only one going green with envy reading these? :(
My parents are whinging because I asked them if they could book nails and makeup for me for the formal :S
Man I wish I was rich. Or that my parents liked me. One of those.
There was a thread about this.. there were people who finished on the FIRST THURSDAY.. like 6 exams in four days. That's insane.
I finish on the 10th with Art. Man I hate Art exams. So wanky.. why learn theory in a subject like that? It's meant to be personal expression!
I changed from video to performance to costume to advertising to performance :)
haha
but then, I wrote and memorised a 14min script between one lesson and the next (over about three days) because my teacher said i would never be ready in time... I went from nothing to being ahead of everyone...
Haha.. the day before my HSC performance, my piece was going for 9.5min.... The day of the performance I did some on-the-spot cutting (Partially due to nerves!) and got 8min and 1 sec.. haha. But then.. probably lost the quality too.
It's good that you have a good teacher, obviously, but I still feel that it's entirely uncessary to use such complex language.. I mean yes, sure, give them an idea of the extent of your vocabulary, but it gives (to me, at least) the feeling that you're just going overboard to impress. It is...
I did spec. fiction too and just used it to talk about at the beginning of my essay.. referred to it as "The given text".. I hope they get that.
But then, my essay was shite, so don't listen to me.
Um. You know, big words doesn't necessarily mean that you have a good theory. Whatever marker you have is probably just going to think you sat at home with a thesaurus looking up the biggest possible word for everything. Of course, if you speak like that in real life, I take it back. I agree...
8 for essay..
7 for creative writing..
it seems like everyone from my school wrote about the same number of pages, and we're all pretty smart girls.. so I wonder if we were taught differently somehow, or whether its just a coincidence.. hmm.
About 8 or 9 words per line, so 2520 or 2835 words...
too bad I still have drama, which is pretty much an ext. of english with the added bonus of having to read a million plays and analyse scene by scene... visual as WELL as techniques and context etc. Bah humbug.
man :( I started off with good intentions, talking about the effect of a butterfly flapping its wings and creating a tidal wave on the other side of the world (to get to the idea of changing the uninverse etc).. but I totally got off track and by the end of it i'd forgotten about the line...
I got told that you aren't allowed to use texts that are in the syllabus for related material.. for instance I couldn't use Enders Game as a supplementary because Standard English has it as a text..
Don't know if that helps :S
