    French and German?

    I think you made a very good decision there. I was the same as you in yr 10. i had two electives (french and german). And i thought (stupidly) i can't do both, that would be crazy, it would be too hard. I thought (stupidly) that I should do an essay/humanities subject like history, to add...

    Your schools anti-truanting measures ?

    Wow. That's madness. My school is theoretically strict but unbelievably lax in practice. I have never truanted myself, but I have been considerably late countless times/not bothered to hand in notes/not bothered to get my mum to call in when sick (I'm not proud of it, I wish I had a better...

    HSC Subject Selections

    Thanks for satisfying my curiosity. Patrician Brother's seems to do pretty well in maths (i'm sure i've seen the name in relation to first in hsc subjects or maths prizes), so I guess that isn't so surprising. good luck with it. I wish I could get subjects out of the way early. Even my little...

    Aidez-moi! J'ai perdu toute ma confiance en ce sujet!

    ton francais me semble pretty damn good. ne t'en fais pas au sujet de ton prof - fie-moi, il y a des pires profs que ca. To revise, je suggere *ecouter des tas d'emissions radios. par exemple: 2000 ans d'histoire que je trouve fascinant. Ou tu peux ecouter d'autres. If you listen to a lot...

    HSC Subject Selections

    :eek: I can't believe you're doing it now. That's impressive (and depressing for me who plods along at average, or perhaps less than average pace). What school do you go to? Do they do that with a lot of students, encourage it, etc?

    Physical Journey ! ARGH so Sick of Hearing Those Words!

    you've got it lucky. my school does imaginative journeys in the hsc. that's worse, imo. what actually *is* an imaginative journey? how do you find books etc involving one? sounds nasty to me.

    maths .. im sure this is easy but...

    nah. square roots can only be positive. that's how the operation is defined, and that's why you write +/- sqrt instead of just sqrt. it would be written as y^2 = 2x - 3 if that were the case.

    how does science assist archeology?

    outrage or amusement? i mean, i wouldn't like that to happen to me were i dead, but if so, i'm dead, aren't i? what do i care? archaeology dating - radiocarbon/carbon 14. allows absolute dating through testing the amount of carbon isotope present. - dendrochronology (tree rings). they...
