Re: Any tips to improve my organisation? I reckon, have a big folder for each subject, with subdividers for each topic, but don't bring them to school. Have the smallest folder possible with you to school, with dividers for each subject, and some paper at the back. Then when you get home you...

Theism: Good on you for wanting to get an exercise habit going during the holidays, that's exactly what I'm trying to do too :D I reckon, just mix your routine up a bit, keep it fun (-as possible in those early hours), and ease into the routine. DO NOT try to do the whole thing at once...

I'm not completely sure of what you're asking, here. In the HSC economics exam you'll get two extended response questions, and for each you'll have two choices. I assume that your teacher, like mine, would probably give you that same layout. I'm thinking he means the different market...

I can't wait for year 12 to start :D It finally feels like it counts for something, you know? Also, it's nice when the others in the year start caring as much as I do about grades and things...

Christine Jackson replied to me: Information about Distinction Courses will be posted on the BOS website in the next few weeks. There may be some changes from previous years. Direct quote :D And no, I'm not sending in the 2007 form until there's more info up. I was just checking if anyone...

Oh noes! I want to do cosmology!! Should I send in the 2007 expression-of-interest form and hope for the best, or wait until the Board releases information about it? And send the letters, of course.. I'm such an idiot. I could have done a distinction course last year instead of waiting for...

Hmm. I thought a lot of people were using laptops. I'll reconsider. Good to hear from people who are speaking from experience, always.dreaming and Evilo ;) Oh, my laptop is an exercise buddy. I strap it to my chest when I go jogging and it talks to me. :hammer: ---hehe, seriously, meant...

Doesn't that depend on a. the person and b. the laptop?? That's like saying a dog is a fashion accesory- sometimes they are (I pity the poor handbag- creatures) but most of the time they're a friend/exercise buddy/confidante... ** Regarding the writing in exams thing: I'm talking about using...

If you're allowed to use laptops in class in your school (and you have one) -- will you for next year? I've been using purely paper+ folders, but I was thinking about the benefits of note-taking etc on a laptop. What do you think, is it worth going over from paper? Or could you alternate...

Re: Distinction Courses I thought you just send in an 'expression of interest' form to the BOS (I think that's what happened last year, gauging from the 'HSC Syllbuses' page on the website). They wouldn't send out letters, right, that's seems pretty ineffective...? Has anyone got a letter...

Re: Who else is aiming high for next year? Good on you and good luck :uhhuh: --Do you mean that you think 6 other people in your school will get 99.5+? Woah ... we have pretty different schools ;) And there are 21 people or something that get UAI 100, right?-- It's possible, the kaiser :)...

Haha, I do this too, procrastination is sucky I don't think writing the date of the assignment a few days in advance is going to help- then your subconcious knows that if it isn't 100% completed by that day, that's ok, you'll have another four days. This is bad for example if you have lots of...

Re: Who else is aiming high for next year? Hehe I was so into becoming a primary school teacher a few months ago (the careers' teacher had a really inspiring leaflet :wave:), I think I'd go crazy teaching secondary schoolers, though. So you've narrowed it down to four things, that's pretty...

Re: Who else is aiming high for next year? Hmm. English... art ... aviation ... robotics technology ... psychology ... BA Language ... Economics ... Business ... Space-studies of some kind ... biotechnology ... nanotechnoloy ... I have absolutely no clue what I'm going to do -- so many...

Re: Who else is aiming high for next year? That's awesome you know what you're doing at uni! I have absolutely no clue :( ... hehe I'll choose once I get there :rolleyes: I looked up global studies and it seems really interesting (and with an insane spread of coursework!)... What led you...

I have eight periods a day of 40 minutes. I would prefer longer periods and fewer of them, but won't complain, because I have 6 frees now and I calculated I'll have around 16 in year 12, which is pretty awesome! Lots of time to study, with time to be lazy left over, hehe. But if I was doing 12...

Re: Who else is aiming high for next year? ~ I know most people will be aiming high. Perhaps I didn't phrase it well; what I was really wondering is who is going to be optimistic and aim higher than they think they can achieve, and who is "realistic" and aiming at something more reasonable...

Re: Who else is aiming high for next year? No worries, I didn't expect you to know the inner workings of the BOS, but you seem pretty knowledgeable :rolleyes:.. But it is a one-year course, right, so shouldn't it start next term? I'm so confused... Although now that I think about it the...

Re: Who else is aiming high for next year? Thanks Elise!! I've heard a variation of the star quote before, I like it: "You are the captain of your own ship, but you can't control the weather. Sometimes life brings us smooth sailing; other times we get squalls, hurricanes, and tsunamis...

Re: Who else is aiming high for next year? That's awesome, I haven't met anyone else doing cosmology! Do you know when they're going to post the 2009 info on the BOS website?? I've been checking but they've only got the 2008 info up there (posted around this time last year). They ARE running...
