    What happens if you run out of time for your second text?

    Sounds like you're going text by text. Even if you're planning to stick with this essay format, time management is a must. Either learn to be more concise or cull some of the less critical points in order to give more time to your other text.

    is it rude to uninvite a guy to your formal??

    oh no >.< It's ye olde "hey I'm going to your formal, come to mine?" situation. Are you planning on "replacing him" or going solo? If the former, unless you want to be a bitch, I'd stick with him.

    =Related Texts=

    I used the bare minimum required for my year (ie one) and still got a band 6. * One is fine if you can cover it well. In my opinion this is an extremely good option... particularly if you are also doing EE1 and just can't be stuffed coming up with any more related texts lol * Choosing two...

    Napoleon - good or not?

    OMG I love Napoleon. They're right up there in terms of product quality on my list... the whole "it's ACTUALLY the same colour as you see it in the container" thing is totally awesome. I've got a friend who was trained at the Napoleon Perdis school, and she does awesome makeup. I know the...

    Library survey

    !!! You watch Futurama in there!!! :( Ok, I want my filmsoc membership now... I agree, a lot of the problems in the uni have to do with asians doing typically asianish things such as hogging tables and suck. Freakin' asians :p

    review

    Think back to Eng Adv. Look at concepts and themes brought up, effectiveness of techniques used etc. :) Is it interesting? Is it a "copycat" of other things out there? What audience is it geared for, does it use an appropriate level of language? What kind of depth does it go into? and so on

    Problem with TURNITIN!!

    and yes, SCMP is open I think turnitin lets you read the assessment you've handed it in before you confirm for the last time - might be a good idea to take a clear look at the screen next time :)

    Interrelation of sup. texts?

    Sure :) If it sounds right in theory but you're still not very confident, then practice essays can help muchly :)

    who to invite to yr12 formal? from school, or outta school?

    ^ this is one of the reasons me and my girlfriends all decided to go solo to our formal so we could spend quality time together. We went to an all-girl's high school though... I guess taking a friend from the same co-ed school is about the same thing. Ultimately I think it boils down to...

    The MQ Get Healthy/Study Thread

    oh no!!! Sprains seem to be going around it seems :( How bad is it? Can you put weight on it? (and is it taped up?) I can't wait till my ankle is better and I can start putting some weight on it... then I can start doing re-hab/strengthening exercises :)

    School Rankings

    I think rankings can be interesting, but only ultimately limited to results. I'm sure some schools in the top 50 might (and can) bitch endlessly about the sad state of their schools because the government is stupid >.<

    Opening times of SCMP!! helppppp

    I don't think it's illegal (especially if they can tell it's the same handwriting) but probably a good idea to get a standardised signature :) I came up with mine when I was in yr 5 and all the girls on the bus were going nuts about "writing signatures" in "<first initial>.last name format...

    HSC Exam

    They'll provide you with an unseen stimulus text for the creative writing piece in the Eng AOS paper :)

    Kylie my dear - as lovely as that offer is it won't work because the yellow form needs to have a signature on it :(

    how long is a "Short CV"? (for mentor team leader app)

    hmmm now, how do I turn my entirely dance-orientated dance resume into a CV?!??! "I learnt people skills whilst fighting for front row during School Spec" "I believe I'm a good communicator because I know how to make sure my lines can be heard from the 25th row" :p

    how long is a "Short CV"? (for mentor team leader app)

    Like, a page? Half a page? Two pages?

    HSC Exam

    a) I believe it's a prescribed Eng AOS (Journeys) text :) So yes - it's definately an HSC text. b) They may not neccessarily be essays (although it'll definately be an essay for Module B I think), but they will be unknown questions. It wouldn't be as fun if they gave you the questions in...

    Interrelation of sup. texts?

    That's right :) You don't need to find texts on the same topic - ones that explore the same theme/concept or could be looked at through the one perspective are fine :) Don't be freaked out if they're not exactly the same either - it's just as easy to say "in contrast" as it is to say...
