    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS)

    I thought the paper was okay. Section 1 was fine. I'm happy with my creative piece. A little worried about my essay though, i don't think it was very clear and i went off track a little. In terms of pages i wrote 6.5/8/8. Hopefully i didn't do too badly.

    who else is screwed for ext 2 exam

    So have i, i've been doing one ext1 and one ext2 paper most days, then i've spent a couple of days where i just spend a few hours going through questions on a specific topic i've been struggling with. i've done 1990-2002 for each so far, and plan to have 2003-2008 done by the exams. I just don't...

    What time do you guys plan on going to bed before your morning exams?

    I'll probably aim to be asleep by about 10.30-11. Then be up at 6-6.30

    worst/best english novel you have ever read in school?

    Best was Tomorrow When the War Began - John Marsden in year 10. I can't even choose a worst, there's been so many bad ones.

    Playing the piano

    I can play, i went into lessons in primary school, though i wasn't forced. I always loved it, i took up drums in year 10 and i played the piano less and less and i realy don't play much at all at the moment, i'm hoping to get back into it after the HSC.

    Anyone into photography?

    Wow, everyone's photos in here are amazing! I love photography, it's really been my only outlet during the HSC. I'll pretty much take photos of anything i can, i do a lot of sports photography, just of family and friends. I'm looking at doing a few photography courses after i finish the HSC...

    girls doing physics

    I'm also a blonde girl that does physics, i've had a few people not take me seriously, i don't understand it, just one of those ridiculous views of society i guess. In my opinion it just makes it more fun to prove them wrong =) We've got a class of 6, 4 boys 2 girls.

    Just a question

    Yeah i've found the same thing, i'm pretty un-organised, i have crap everywhere, especially since trials. I've been contemplating sorting through my room and trying to get back to some level of organisation, but i just really don't think i have the time. It's too far gone. I might just make do...

    year 12 coming up what should i do

    If you know the english texts you're studying, i would recommend reading them, or at least whatever you're studying first, it's pretty easy work and it'll help to have it out of the way. And it probably wouldn't hurt to do a bit of reading up on your first topics, and maybe even take a look at a...

    Neck pain while studying.

    Hey. I have a bad back and neck, which causes a great deal of discomfort while studying for extended periods of time. The big thing is be conscious of how you're sitting, just try and find a position that puts as little strain of the area that's getting painful as possible, investing in a good...

    graduation, how do u feel?

    I can't wait to be honest. I'm looking forward to not having to worry about going into school anymore and just being able to spend the remaining weeks studying at home. Then finally finishing, getting a job and starting uni next year. I'm just so sick of school, i really need a change.

    Most Outstanding Year 11 Student Scholarship

    I haven't had any past experience, but i have a different scholarship for UWS, which is also on the condition of a 90+, but i doubt they take bonus points into account, i think when they say 90, they mean 90.

    Deactivation of facebook

    Yeah i had a friend change my passwords for my Facebook, MySpace and Hotmail accounts about 3 months ago. I was obsessed, self control wasn't doing it so that was really the only way for me to stop sadly enough. It still drives me insane not being able to get on, but i would hate to imagine the...

    Smoking a turn off?

    The government might not "know what's best for us", but i'm sure they didn't pull the statistics and scientific evidence regarding the effects of smoking out of their arse. And okay, i'll agree that the statement i made was harsh, and i understand where you're coming from, i'm sorry and i...

    Smoking a turn off?

    All i'm saying is, that if the government puts so much time, money and effort into the smoking campaigns, trying to communicate to people the danger's associated, they have a pretty good reason for doing so, i'm sure they've done a lot more research into smoking and its side effects than you or...

    Smoking a turn off?

    Okay, when i said that smoking despite knowing the health risks was stupid, i didn't mean that concept was only applicable to smokers, i agree, doing anything whilst knowing it could kill you, is stupid. That being said, i don't mean crawl in a hole and never take any risks. All i mean is there...

    Smoking a turn off?

    I never said i binge drink and i never said binge drinking was healthy, i'm aware it causes damage to your health, hence the reason i don't do it. Yes 'everyone knows' that binge drinking is dangerous, but not everyone binge drinks, for the same reason that not everyone smokes. Similarly, i...

    Smoking a turn off?

    I find smoking absolutely disguting, and yes, a definite turn off, i wouldn't date a guy that smokes, ever. a) i just find the general concept gross, and as a few people have said, the smell's disgusting, and smoking leaves the smell on your clothes and breath etc. and b) with all of the facts...
