About 700, I think... one of 7 high schools in a city of 25000 (2 Public, 2 Religious, 3 Private). My year did have 150 until people started dropping out. I'd guess 110-120 now. Apparently our grounds are the second largest (outside agricultural schools), in New South Wales.

The system I had this year for organisation seemed to work well enough - Four ring folders for each subject, other than Drama, with all past work. Dividers to separate topics. - One folder taken to school with current modules. Assignments kept in front. As far as study goes, I dare not...

My French Excursion to New Caledonia returns on the 4th of October. After that I sincerely doubt I'll have any cash, so I'll mainly be staying in and catching up with my reading. Not school reading, the reading of the 10 new books bought this year that have sat unloved whilst I have been made...

Yeah, the night before and the morning of an exam/in-class assessment is usually the only time I'll study as such. I am looking to improve. My main problem is that in most of my classes we're handed pages upon pages of text-book photocopies and if anything, simply asked to do the questions...

Vastly preferable to Year 10... yes, there was a certain joy in spending four periods a week doing the dance of "I'm not doing maths next year" but it is nothing compared to actually not having to do maths... or science... or geography... or PDHPE. The down side to that of course, is that I am...

I'm guessing the creation of the Deathly Hallows came well before the founding of Hogwarts - otherwise Harry would have been able to control the Basilisk. I think it would have been absolutely stupid for Snape to go down in some noble duel, even at 11 he knew he fancied "brains over brawn"...

I was in Maths 3 in Year 9 and in the last term our teacher went on holidays. The substitute was a man who preferred to do magic tricks than basics of trig, so when I was moved to Maths 2 in Year 10 (the class had had a proper teacher), I really just never caught on to the trig being taught...

I was given both Spice Girls TAPES on my 7th birthday. My first CD was B*Witched, given to me Christmas '98. First album I bought with my own hard-earned money was Buffy The Vampire Slayer: The Album in May 2000, which I still maintain is ace.

What are you doing yours on? I'm doing Herodotus for Ancient and French Revolution for Modern.

Currently I'm doing 3u English, Studies of Religion 2, Modern History, Ancient History, Drama and French Beginners. Without a doubt I'm dropping French and picking up 4u English. I'm not enjoying Ancient that much at the moment, but I'm doing super duper well and I am sure next year will be...

Well, on the school front I have a biggish assignment on the French Revolution for Modern History and a half-finished speech on Pygmalion for Extension English to wrap up. I should reread 1984, but I won't. On the yay front I wish to finish reading Jude the Obscure, start Ulysses, laze about...

Re: Career Choices: What do you want to do in uni/tafe/the workforce? Isn't ANU the "best" in the country? According to all those "Greatest Universities in the Word" thingies, it is. I'm looking towards studying English and/or Communications at UMelb.

English - 95 (A) Disappointing, but I didn't feel too confident after having done the exam either. Math - 75 (B7) Well, I should probably be disappointed considering I'm supposedly in "Advanced Maths"... however, I am thrilled - I haven't paid attention in maths (or science) all year and was...

I remember waking up early on Saturday mornings for over a month to try to catch the video of Fatboy Slim's "Right Here, Right Now" back when is came out. Muchly awesome. Franz Ferdinand, Matinee, never fails to bring a smile to my face. The Bravery, An Honest Mistake, would be pretty damn...

Hehe... some people here seem to be pretty on edge about this. "Of All Time"? To this point in time anyway... The Velvet Underground - All Tomorrow's Parties Massive Attack - Teardrop Placebo - Without You I'm Nothing Sufjan Stevens - Chicago The Jesus And Mary Chain - Teenage Lust The Beta...
