My writing hand is significantly weaker than my other hand because of old injuries and overuse, but the specialist I saw told me that playing tennis/table tennis/squash/badminton would help strengthen the muscles and fix the cramping somewhat. Usually my wrist and hand cramp severely within ten...

Probably too many. Trials I took at least six into every exam: three rollerballs and three or more ballpoints. Just in case, you know? HSC I'll probably take my super pen and refill, plus a couple of rollerballs and ballpoints. We're not allowed to borrow apparently so I don't want to risk...

Just got a craving for ice-cream... all we have in the freezer is plain vanilla and I don't know what to put on it. Normally I'd go with choc chips, strawberry slices or passionfruit. Any suggestions? What do you like on your ice-cream? :)

Blue or silver. I had bottom braces for most of last year and had silver the whole time... in my days of top and bottom braces in year 5 to year 8, I had whatever colours (usually two) I wanted. Like everyone else has said, don't do light colours 'cause they will stain. And don't let the...

To beware the Ides of March.

Everyone says that too!

I'd love to read over it.

You could do combined Arts/Bachelor of Education - Secondary, just sub-specialise in English and drama. Sydney Uni has that, I think. That's probably the easiest way of going about it. Otherwise, at UWS you have to do a three-year Arts degree - which is where you'd do the English and Drama...

Thanks so much. Turns out my Head Teacher Maths is the biggest liar on Earth... we confronted him about it today and he completely turned around from what he'd told us before - that it was supposedly impossible to get really high marks. Crazy man. Then again he only teaches 4U these days so...

Self-explanatory title :) Is it really capped and if so, at what mark? As in what's the highest aligned mark a General student could get back? And hypothetically, if a student got a perfect 100 in externals, what mark would they receive? I'm kind of after a good Band 6 in this subject, so...

Vegemite and boiled egg gives me flashbacks to when I was little = hardboiled egg with Vegemite toast soldiers. You lost me at avocado though. I'm not a fan of it because it's so squishy.

I'm also at a public school and we only have air-con in the library, the computer rooms, and the office. Other than that we have those crappy gas heaters that don't work half the time and ceiling fans in every classroom... you know the kind that periodically make that "kcccccchchchchcc" (can't...

Hate them. They're like poison. I can't even eat them on pizza or chopped up in salads - I have to pick them out and give them to my mum. Even olive paste is pushing it. The only time I can eat them is chopped up inside bread, like ciabatta or the like.

Yeah, I do actually. And lots of them. :) I guess it comes from being half ginger ninja. :)

I started reading them when I was ten, when there were already something like eight of them released so I read up to the latest book. I loved them at that point. Then they got released at a rate of one a year or something, and I'd read them as they came out. I quite like them still -...

Um. Public school so the fees are only $100-$150 per annum. They pay for uniform as well - although I haven't had to buy uniform since my senior stuff at the start of Year 11, as I've stopped growing. They paid for ballet for the twelve years I did it, and for piano for the six years I...

Isn't Roaccutane generally the last resort? My dad refused to refer one of my brothers to a dermatologist for it until he'd tried absolutely everything else, ie natural stuff, face wash, variants on antibiotics such as Doxycycline, Erythromycin etc etc. And the side effects seem kind of...

This year I've squished almost all my extension classes into my free periods, so no more after-school classes :) but on the other hand, 6 zero periods a fortnight with only three in-school frees. Still, I get to leave school at lunch or the end of fifth period six days a fortnight though :)...

Agree. Really, really strongly.

dizzyizzy: No, it's not you personally! I probably take it that way because I only started the course on the last day of Term 4, so I already feel like I'm behind! I'll be working at a crazy pace too once I've got my idea solid in my mind (and the plot skeleton down on paper)! And no, it...
