Re: Best music I don't listen to music often when I study, but I find that either instrumental music, power metal or depressing music works with me. I'm not sure with the logic of the latter, but I can say that it works. If you're looking for albums, then try these instrumental pieces...

Sorry for another bump, but I've been looking at the other threads and seeing trial marks and ranks included in them. Would it be alright if someone could re-evaluate my ATAR estimate taking into account how I went in the trials? The trial results have been added to the OP. I did terribly in...

Hmm, okay. On that note, would it be possible to get a band 6 if I ace the externals?

I got my report today and I'm feeling pretty worried that I won't get the mark that I want to get considering the ranks that I've seen in this subforum. I'm also worried that my Extension English ranks will drag me down, even though the marks range from 75-85%. These are my ranks: English...

I haven't seen a lot of talk about the Evil Invaders mini-fest going on, so I'll bring everyone up to date with it: After the spectacular 2 nights that was Evil Invaders III earlier this year in June, the preparations for Evil Invaders IV in Sydney have already commenced. To be specific, only...

Probably a little weird out of context, but whatever: "I turned on my side and hoped to get through this, but I could still hear the mocking laughter tormenting me."

I know what you mean, OP. I did terribly in Maths, Physics and Chemistry, which I failed in terms of the trials, and I'm finding it very hard to motivate myself towards doing better. The thing is that, for me anyway, when I'm in a terrible mood I don't have the motivation to do anything...

Paper 1: Section 1 (Unseen texts) - 13.5/15 Section 2 (Composition) - 13/15 Section 3 (Essay) - 11.5/15 Paper 2: Module A - 15/20 Module B - 16/20 Module C - 15/20 I sort of blundered for the belonging essay, since I rarely supported my argument with quotes. Not to mention that for Hamlet I...

"With piercing green eyes, its barbarous message was clear: death. Acid green swirled and flickered in its slanted sockets, independent from the creature but beckoning brutality. Without pupils, it looked as if it saw all." Nihilistic and post-modern this year? Just when I thought I was doing...

I definitely enjoyed the short story "The Outsider" by H.P. Lovecraft, but the best book I read in 2010 would easily have to be Brave New World by Alduous Huxley. There's just something about the way he writes that draws you in and keeps you reading that most writers don't have the ability to do.

I sat my English Extension 1 trial paper last Monday for crime writing and it was a generic question, but what got most of us was that it had to be in speech form. Even though the only speech elements I used were in the introduction, made little to no reference to the paradigm and didn't finish...

I say this is a good thing. There were a few bands that I would have loved to have seen but with such a horrendous line-up, I was thinking whether it'll be worth it paying and supporting such terrible bands. That and it was planned for September, which is right in HSC preparation. One less show...

Year 12 at Mosman High School. My subjects are: English Extension 2 Mathematics Biology Chemistry Physics

I was not confident going into any of my exams. I thought I was going to get 50 percent for the lot, except biology and English Advanced Paper 2 where I might've gotten 70 percent for the former and 65 for the latter. Having done my exams early, I got some results back and got 90 percent for...

Agent Steel are excellent, and that track there pretty much shows that. That and what the vocalist can do. How can one not like saying "Agents of SteeeeeAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL!!!!"? Also, I saw Forbidden with Hobbs' Angel of Death last night and it was excellent! I never thought I'd see...

This band deserve to be more known than they are. Excellent USPM featuring Master Chief!

I agree, Kvelertak are bad, but I might watch them to see what they're like. I'm sure that all the mainstream kids at the show will be confused with their "blend" of pop punk and black metal. I think the confusion would be funny enough. And if I go I'm definitely there for Hatebreed. I despise...

Yes, a video is allowed, and it can be animated. It can be on pretty much any contextual concern (this word you learn to despise because of how much it's mentioned in all of the courses)that you're moved by, but as long as you link your video back to the research that you've done over the...

It's a very weird bill. Devin Townsend Project and Holy Grail are something to look forward to, while Gojira, Steel Panther Alice Cooper and Watain should be interesting, especially the latter with their stage show and everything. Kvelertak and Hatebreed might be good for a laugh. Aside from the...

Re: Massive terrorist attacks in Norway, over 30+ dead This is absolutely terrible. I don't recall such controversy and carnage since the church burnings in the 90s. My condolences to the victims and their families.
