time for another whinge :( My ankle is throbbing away right now, and I keep accidentally tapping the bruise on my chin (my big dog nipped at my face last night lol). owwwwwwwwwwwiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssss

I'm a massive Trinny and Susannah convert - screw trends, if they don't look good on me then it's a no-go :p usually I look myself in the mirror and see how my proportions are looking - if the clothes make me look like a mongulated fool, then it's back to the wardrobe :p I'm with iam on a lot...

it's not neccessarily "keeping me going" per se, but what definately keeps me balanced between uni and other stuff is my dance... have my own training, teaching, dance exam on 15th oct (please oh please ankle be good by then), studio concert and flamenco concerts in december, much costume sewing...

I did something to my ankle today :( Now I can't walk. I basically can't move, because I can't put any weight on it at all, and the mere pull of gravity sends it throbbing to high heavens. Do you think a doc will give me a doctor's cert for thursday, because I'm not going to be able to drive...

EE2 markers, much like EE1 or Eng Adv markers. I *think* they're all current teachers, and they all get de-briefed on what to look for each year and stuff :)

happy belated birthday Ivy!

:( hugs for iam!

I love the fact that when everyone else is going mod or military or something, portmans always remains very feminine/50s inspired, and I love that sort of look :) I don't think I'm the type of person who could get away with experimenting with looks, so I'll stick to what I think looks good :D...

time to change to my degree, Jimmy :D

^ Wouldn't you also need to relate your entire essay - not just intro and conclusion - to the question as well? Regurgitated essays aside, I'm not a fan about obsessing over word limits. Unless you *have* one, it gives you one extra thing to worry about that you really don't need to. When...

I was thinking "why are there recent posts in this thread? It's the holidays!" then I actually came in here and realised the convo had switched to clothes :P My 2 cents: I LOVE Portmans (I disagree with Anne on quality though - I think it's not too bad :p). I will even save up spare...

isn't it a kind of ranking percentage? Eg 0.01% of candidates? Hrm if you could figure out the candidature size (something like 38 000, don't quote me on that though? That could be a figure for something else lol) then just divide it up...

it's $29 I think... or around there.

don't worry about words - it's not as if you're going to be able to count during the HSC :P So long as you're over two or three pages (yes, the HSC booklets are smaller than A4) then you're probably ok. I think most people do 5-8 (HSC booklet pages).

Re: Revised TTT question whoa - take a step back. Best way to approach essay questions is like this: a) Figure out what it's actually asking b) Come up with an answer - this is NOT an "insert technique here" moment, but an arguing point. Think something like a "case line" in a debating...

There are some punchy lines in there, there are also some good ideas brought up. Definately not enough examples from the texts though, and where is your structure/argument? This isn't an essay - it looks like brainstorming notes. EDIT: gah, old thread... (sorry Smoke!)

a) I don't know what prescribed text you're doing (there's more than one), and b) why don't you let your teacher teach you the module before you start worrying about what you haven't learnt yet :p There is something in dance (I'm a dance teacher) where the student will try and self-teach...

A shorter but better-structured essay is far better than the longer one which brings up lots of good ideas, but presents them in a higgeldy-piggeldy fashion. Half the trick is bringing the good stuff to the table - the other half is knowing how to make it look appetising ;) In all likelihood...

*waves and points to sig* :) A good starting point is to figure out exactly what the problem is with your essays - does it have a weak structure? Are you going overboard (or under-board) with your language? How strong are your points? There are some good guides - particularly for structure...

Something that should also be considered is this: The Board is NOT requiring you to go into absolute, utmost depth about 4 texts within 40 minutes. All it's really asking you to do is to present a clear, sustained piece that analyses about 4 different texts over 40 minutes. You're not going...
