    I can't get out of the groove...

    4 hrs? I wish I could get myself motivated to do that much study! I aim for 2 - 3 hrs a night but rarely hit the 3hr mark...I'm totally in the wrong mentality...last night, for instance, I did nothing but fill in that ridiculous Syd U scholarship application form and then said to myself "that's...

    PIP Topics

    We get the PIPs back (well, they're sent back to the school and its up to us whether we go and get them or not) but we don't find out the individual mark...for instance, say someone gets 80/100 in their HSC results, they could take a guess at their approximate PIP mark (which counts for like 30%...

    Yr12 Jerseys: Whats Urs Like??

    Some of you haven't got yours yet? As a member of my school's jersey committee, we probably would have been disowned by the year if we didn't have them ready in time for winter...ended up distributing them very beginning of March so our grade was happy... Opinion still remains mixed about the...

    Did anyone see the PACT theatre performance of R&G

    A lot of people in my english class said the same sort of thing, that they found it annoying to move around all the time. For me, I quite liked that aspect of it...then again, I'm a very restless person and find it difficult to sit through 2 hours of a play or film... I agree about Hamlet...

    Weimar Germany

    Weimar Weimar Weimar For some reason, Weimar was the only topic I managed to take in when we were doing 20th Century Germany in class...don't ask me why, I can't explain it...so now I'm madly trying to teach myself about Germany 1933 - 1945. Apparently I need to know something about some guy...

    PIP Topics

    My PIP was about how Australian society & Aboriginal cultural/individual identity are affected by the representation of indigenous peoples in the visual media...it really opened my eyes as to how racism can be perpetuated through television...

    Just A Question

    It seems that we've all spent so much time studying Ros & Guil no-one knows what is real and what is not anymore! :-) Or I guess I should say, who is real and who is not... "Truth is only that which is taken to be true." For the record, although this clarification may be a little belated...

    Just A Question

    We had a similar problem at my school with speeches. Each group did one speech each and then presented to the rest of the class. As a result, some of them I know nothing about (i.e. Keating, Pearson, MacAleese, etc.) because the teachers of the classes that combined for the module miscalculated...

    School / Subject

    Admirable in the way that, regardless of reason, someone actually chose to take on that workload...in contrast to my situation, where I dropped Legal Studies and Maths Extension at the end of Year 11 not because I disliked the subjects but because I couldn't be bothered to continue with them...

    Ahh...the formal...mine's December 4th...I'm predicting that I'll shop for an outfit sometime in the week leading up to it but I do have some ideas...something retro...or a pants suit...Angelina Jolie wore a white one to some awards ceremony last year and it looked awesome...and with strappy...

    TRIALS are OVER!

    My trials are over!! Of course, they only started on Monday but thanks to a dodgy timetable I had six exams in five days with my last one (maths) today. It does mean that I get next week off...not exactly a holiday, though, when I have some intense last minute work to do on an Eng Ext 2 major...

    Trial Exams

    All of them are 40 - 50%?? Mine range from 15% to 40%...which is actually quite lucky, because I have done minimal study and they start tomorrow...6 exams in 5 days...I am just way too lucky... Excuse my rambling...I am having a crisis of realisation right now about how badly I'm gonna go in...
