Hey, I'm 16 and 185cm tall and weigh 85kg and am wanting to lose about 15-20kg. Am I doing a good diet and exercise plan? Running for 30 minutes every day Breakfast: Chia seeds with water, fruit salad Lunch: Whole meal sandwich with vegetables and breast chicken (grilled) NO dressings. Dinner...

The question is "What does the evidence suggest about the death of the emperor Claudius?". Its 600 words and its a short essay but our teacher told us to write a mini essay... Would be much appreciated :)

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but are you saying you are attempting to complete both the Preliminary and HSC course in two terms?

Preliminary course? Aren't you doing the HSC at the moment? And I don't know how your school works, but you don't have to pick up 2 more units if you don't want to. You can undertake 10 units of work for the HSC, but the marks you achieve will all be counted towards your ATAR.

I feel so guilty... I was on top of everything at school... And then last weekend... I got introduced to Fifty Shades of Grey / Darker / Freed and fell behind. Now I'm here late at night leaving things for the last minute while reminiscing the heaven and perfection which was Anastasia and...

So motivated this year! First year where I can look at my timetable at a day and not think *FUCK THIS SHIT*

I don't do Maths but I know for a fact that Math Extension 2 scales like a monster. So even if you get an underwhelming score like 60-70 (correct me if I'm wrong), your marks will be brought up. But since you seem to like Maths, go for it :)

Do you get home from school and study until you go to sleep? Because that's what it sounds like to me o_O

Sometimes I have 3 or 4 lessons each day but I always have 3 subjects everyday. Some are doubles, what about you?

I'm not liking it, our teacher doesn't teach us anything. He tell us to research "The World at the Turn of the 20th Century", and does not even help us. He believes that students should be able to teach themselves... It may sound kind of true, but no one could be bothered to wait 20 minutes...

Me too, but only cause I'm doing Portuguese by correspondence and English Ext is off the time timetable :)

No initial shock for me, just an increase in the amount of homework and content difficulty. But so far, it's heaps of fun! What is everyone doing for English Ext? We just started gothic horror literature, and it seems very promising :D

Good, only that I cannot drop Hospitality for Portuguese until 6 weeks have passed, so I'm stuck with 14 units until then..

You might as well say goodbye to a good ATAR if you drop to Standard English.

I agree with Amaranth, you would definitely benefit from English Ext 1.
