i'm an artser! doing french (post VCE), Contemporary Ideologies and Movements, Phil Pol and Eco as IDF and Microeconomics as breadth! Strangely enough, microeconomics is my favourite subject so far. Contemp is fairly bad - the lecturer sucks and it has no structure, ppe is pretty good but hard...

^^ That is exactly where I first read it. I studied it for VCE last year. We certainly talked about journeys - it is physical and emotional, each reflecting the other etc etc etc, bla bla bla. It is testament to how good the book is that I still like it even after studying it!

If you really liked the film that much go and read the book it's based on (The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini). Seriously, it is a hundred times better than the film!!! The film skipped what I thought was the most heart-warming and tear-jerking part of the whole book and you are seriously...

Just wondering if there was a concert band or orchestra at melbourne uni that doesn't require you to have done 7th or 8th grade AMEB or a mus to get into? I am about grade 5 on my alto saxophone and doing arts at melbourne and would love to keep playing by joining a band or something, just...

Haha, so what does everyone think about the debacle plastered across today's newspapers about Rudd's blunder on the death penalty. Seriously, I love rudd and there is no way i want to spend the next four years of my life under another amoral liberal government, but he is pushing it a bit far...

Book was pretty good overall. Thought the hallows would be a place or one thing, not three, but there you go. Although its probably good i guessed wrong because at least there was a surprise. A lot of the rest of the book was somewhat guessable and she followed a lot of expectations i thought...

interesting interesting interesting i'm not reading any spoilers and i don't go looking for harry potter on sites like wikipedia or anything where i know people are going to be trying to post potential spoilers, so hopefully i won't come across any accidently. Still, excited by the release -...

lol, agreed about the fast posting - each time i wrote a post it would come up about 6 posts after the one i was replying to because all of those had been written since i started mine!!! Can't wait - likewise lisajf, i want to read it slowly, but i am soo worried that i will get to school...

Yes about the dementors - supposed to be robed!! And the funniest (possibly most ironic!) thing about it is that in harry's trial in the movie, figg says something like "well, tall and in black robes" and i was thinking, well actually, they aren't in black robes at all! Bit of a continuity...

Yes Trelawny!! Crazy and completely wrong!!! Seriously don't get me started on everything that is wrong with the movies!! Including, and possibly most annoyingly, the castle!! Completely not how i imagined it - makes it hard to relate the action to the books because i see it all sooooooooooooo...

Tom Felton isn't bad. He was a bit like ew in the first few movies, but he has definitly become better looking as he has grown up and now i quite like him. I must say i don't like his hair tho. HE should have it just kinda soft, shorter and just left to spike etc on its own like in fanfic...

agreed the current dumbledore is crap. He actually looks scared everytime something mildly dramatic happens instead of looking unbelievably calm and always polite and unconcerned like he should, he wasn't wearing his half moon spectacles in the fifth movie hardly at all, and his voice is too...

Yeah, i love luna. She was really good in the movie too actually. Her and lucius are about the only two characters i think are exactly how i imagined them onscreen as to how they were in the book. Except possibly luna's bizarre accent in the film, but it works i suppose! PS. ShiftyIceQueen...

Yes actually i saw the movie yesterday and the moment she said that i thought - wow, that is an interesting comment, because i am sure it wasn't in the books, and i was kinda like....wonder why they put that there? I thought maybe they somehow knew something about the last book and it was kinda...

You understand the prophecy to mean that one must live. My understanding was that they can't both live at the same time which means that at least one must die. But from what i can tell, it didn't deny the possibility that both die. That would satisfy the need for one of them to die, which is...

haha, sounds good! very glad we are the POTTER generation. Seriously, all those little kids who started reading the first one this year, got hooked and are now waiting for the 7th like us, won't have understood most of the last 3 books because there is way too much inuendo that is way above...

how can they not introduce new characters without letting us know who R.A.B is, or introduce any knew death eaters or people in the ministry etc etc. They pretty much have to introduce some new characters. Interesting about the bloodbath thing, but i suppose if greyback is there its likely to...

no its not directed at you, sorry i just mean that i keep hearing people saying Jk said this and from that i gather this, which therefore must be true, and instantly think they have a spoiler on their hands. Personally, i am not going to assume too many things from interviews she does etc...

in yr 11 six subjects is probably fine. maybe go to the end of the year and then decide whether to keep them all for next year or not...

yeah i agree. I actually do VCE lol, but from the names of your subjects, it is clear that you have a number of humanaties style subjects (Geog, Modern and Ancient History), which means that by dropping modern history, you get rid of your lowest marking subject and also a subject in an area...
