    Distinction Courses

    just wondering about cosmology. most ppl i've heard talk about it say it's the best of the three. i dont tend towards science or anything in that department. i don't mind it but i dont think i'd study it. how close is cosmology with that?

    Lead Female Vocals in Bands

    i think i'd give it to nico for her stuff with vu but mo tucker, where she does sing, is not bad. her drumming is, quote, indispensable, though.

    the current english course is a waste of time, true or false

    he's also dead. but @slzybanana he is amazing. i'm sure if they had coles back in china then he would have found a way to rise up in the ranks of coles myer and enlarge the conglomerate. but let's be content that he actually decide to do campaigns and not stocktaking etc. have you read the...

    the current english course is a waste of time, true or false

    actually, i just like protagoras because he said mathematics was an 'irrelevant subject' - and that we should pursue political action and politics. im not exactly the most indulgent person of politics though.

    the current english course is a waste of time, true or false

    maybe we should all indulge in some greek sophistry - protagoras here we come. oh, if you guys want to talk about something that's probably more 'useless' and 'waste of time' - classical greek has probably got to take the cake if you take that slant on our current english course. but i love...

    The Moon Turns Red!!!!!

    watched it in front of the boarding house. bad atmosphere though ... lots of ... squealing. but it was quieter after one went back in and the totality was neat.

    *敬轩 anything by him i heart. 林俊杰 is not bad, **梁 is right up there as well. as for songs, i can only think of these atm coz they're on my playlist. am beginning to feel sleepy. *曉 - 南拳妈妈 梁山伯与茱丽叶 - ? 龙卷风 - 周杰伦 canto songs i tend to stay away from, even though i'm a canto speaker.

    the current english course is a waste of time, true or false

    i think the only reason i'm still on this topic is because it's not sleeping yet. seriously bored. and procrastinating (isnt that a fantastic word to describe our generation?) about english extension exam. @ watatank, i think it was aimed at the english course not english in general. i...

    the current english course is a waste of time, true or false

    you never know! but at least you know that gives you options. now, what can you do with classical greek? i suppose i could conjugate something for you... if you really really really really wanted to.

    the current english course is a waste of time, true or false

    same with the asian pride (on my parents' side at least) however, so many of my friends say that 4u is easier than 3u. don't know how true that is, and even if it is easier, i think just having to do more maths is going to be overload.

    the current english course is a waste of time, true or false

    yeah, i know... she was just using the word against the teacher's comment of 'exact'. either way, maths is very, very precise. and i, being the illogical person i am, find it so... restrictive. if i could drop below 3u maths i would be ecstatic but i think my parents have their mind set on...

    What do you consider to be 'good' fantasy?

    fantasy rocks my world but some of the stuff that comes out nowadays is a lot of, i think, is commercial trash. not that it's bad but some of it just ... irks me. but i'll read it anyway just coz i'm a whre for fantasy. i'm not sure what i would consider 'good' fantasy tho because fantasy...

    Classical Greek Cont. & Ext. Class of 07

    i didnt realise the classical greek thread was so active. not bad considering how 'dead' we're supposed to be. oh btw, steph, zara, one of the two pymble 08 candidature. had our greek exam yesterday. the unseen, as rachel put it, was so typically greek with its uh, battles? i think we both...

    the current english course is a waste of time, true or false

    nice. just on that maths comment (i intensely hate maths btw) my teacher said 'maths is an exact science' to which my friend replied, 'what happens with approximation then?' but back to english, critical study is quite fascinating, especially intriguing if you do psychoanalytic and...

    the current english course is a waste of time, true or false

    have to agree with you there. the deterioration of our everyday english really begins to show when you do another language. because another language is 'formally' taught we pick up all the stuff on clauses, indirect etc... but in english... we can have pretty horrific structure and tenses...

    Are you guys finding Eng Ext Fun??? share your thoughts

    i find eng ext fun and i suppose our course is well thought up. although, i am beginning to tire of women studies now (we are doing dichotomy in representations of women in literature or something along those lines). it's interesting really but well, maybe coz im in an all girls school, i find...
