You try to identify contractual offer and acceptance when you buy petrol. You consider the legal situation of offensive language in public whenever anyone uses the f-word. Your first response when someone does something annoying or immoral is "sue them". You try to come up with a legal...

Re: Full School Rankings My school edged up to 24th. :) And I'd thought we were worse that last year's cohort.

In 2006, I got the SMS (for the one subject I did) at about 5:50, so they're not always late or nonexistent. :)

I got told not to do fantasy, so I guess all teachers have a genre they don't like. I've seen some well done romance major works (I'm pretty sure I came across one that got a 50 once, though I never read it in full, so I'm not sure). I think the genre itself is less important than what you do...

I'm fairly equal... For the lower unit levels, I do slightly better in the English, but for the 4 units, my ranks are fairly close (which probably means I'm doing better in the maths, since more people do it). Enjoyment-wise, I like creative writing more than anything else at school, but I...

You probably want to do well in both. That said, English is going to count towards your UAI however well or badly you do. If you have more than ten units, any of your other subjects can not count if you do badly.

I think the hardest part of coming up with an idea, for me, was the whole sense that it had to be good and literary -- that it had to be the sort of thing that English teachers would like, rather than the sort of thing that I enjoy writing. I remember at the beginning I was freaking out, and...

I know that I never know how I did in an exam -- how I feel generally has more to do with the difficulty of the test rather than my actual performance in it. Does anyone else find, "How did you go in your HSC?" one of the most frustrating questions ever? Is there actually a good answer for it...

Yay! It's over, it's over! Actually, I don't know what I'm feeling... It's kind of like, I should be feeling more, but I'm not. I'm not really sure what to do with my time now... But it's over! :)

I said it was about a combination of victories and failures within an individual... Leni Reifenstahl was a winner artistically, but failed morally; and it's that dichotomy that makes her historically interesting and relevant.

I didn't find it too bad -- but that's probably because I'm comparing it to the 4u paper, which was... hard.

Yay, people like my analogy! :) I feel happy now, rather than panicked about the approaching doom...

Monday: Maths X2 Tuesday: Modern History Wednesday: Maths X1 Thursday: English X1 And then I'm done. I'm focusing on the bright side -- at least my HSC will be over soon, and I'll be able to relax and watch as much TV as I want. :)

There's no such thing as 'ready' for 4 unit... Readiness is like a hyperbola... It approaches the x-axis, but never quite gets there.

I've dreamt about failing Modern a few times... Annoying, since it's my best subject. Once when I'd been studying maths during the day, there was a question that I couldn't answer. Somehow I figured out how to do it in the middle of the night. I hate how study kills my ability to get a good...

Reds. I can go for my greens the day after I finish my HSC.

My HSC's been fine, so far. But during one of my trials... Let's just say I'd forgotten to turn my phone off. So, in the last ten minutes of the exame, a phone went off in one of the bags at the back of the hall, and it was my distinctive ring tone. I looked at my friend who was sitting next...

Speeches: Lincoln/Goldman Related it back to what they said about democracy.

I really like to subjects I have... but I regret the subjects I wanted to do but didn't get to. I initially chose Drama and Software Design and Development, but not enough other people chose them, so they didn't run. I'm still a little bitter about that -- I'm pretty sure more people chose Drama...

I'm so looking forward to Thursday afternoon next week...
