    Cosi? I've never heard of it. I beg to differ, this is MY idea and MY story that I am writing, I have texts that inspired me but I am not stealing anything. The texts that I read that inspired me include: A Beautiful Mind, Catch-22 and Closing Time. But if you could direct me to the play...

    Deutsche Musik

    Der neuer album von Die Toten Hosen 'Zuruck zum Gluck' is sehr giel! I got back from Germany (german exchange program) in january and while there i bought their latest album, first i heard of them. They rock, such good stuff. Also I came back with some mp3s of Wir Sind Helden, also great stuff.

    Do we need to DATE OUR JOURNALS?

    I originally didn't start dating ym journal as a I wrote it but my teacher suggested i did, so i went back and dated it quickly. Now whenever i write something in it just just jot 24.2.05 for example at the top of the page. Not hard or time consuming to do.

    Failing 3 unit Maths: How to Improve?

    I've been having a bit of trouble in maths extension 1 as well. Maths is probably one of my weaker subjects but it is my most loathed subject. I really hate it, I couldn't care less what x equals. It means nothing to me, it doesn't seem important. I sometimes wonder why i choose to maths...

    too many units?? advice?

    I'm in year 11, I was doing 14 units but i just recently dropped Software Design so now i'm doing 12 units. I find school is much better now, i really didn't want the extra work from a subject that i found out i didn't really have an interest in afterwards.
