Doing Crime Fiction; wish I had done postmodernism or something like that but oh well. I find it pretty straightforward though.

Yeah I agree. Basically, the lower ranked your school then the higher individual marks + ranks you need to get a high ATAR.

How/When did you find this out?

Purely based on a point system at our school. 1st (5), 2nd (4) and 3rd (3).

Oh, I loathed that film. But in terms of intended purpose, it is very much a product of the realist sub-genre; a series of plot events based upon everyday life and a strong sense of plausibility. If you recall, there is a perceptive conversation in the film between LB and Stella where the...

Deranged and contemplating life...that sounds a lot like me. Anyway, how's it going?

Rather than no longer caring, personally I've found that becoming detached and emotionally expressionless to the whole HSC process can yield positive results. I just regard exams and such as something that needs to be done in order to get from point A to point B.

Embrace the fact that ignorance, in many situations, can truly become bliss.
