Well, where to start.... I agree with timmii on his point that globalisation has good and bad outcomes. As some have said it would be stupid to simply state 'globalisation is bad' but its obviously equally as stupid to state the opposite; that 'gloablisation is great'. I think no matter...

Hey, I was at that same show as well! It was pretty damn cool, Paul played Truely by himself at the end. Appearently sfk asked specifically not to play on the main stage - which is a good idea cause no one can really watch and listen to stuff on the main stage without concurrently fighting for...

-------Ha, man butterfly's wings is my fav. SFK song. Actually I just got the DVD today and was a little bummed they cut it out.. That Augie March album is amazing as well, although I haven't heard their new album yet...even so, it'd probably take a while to grow on me like that last one did.

I used Seamus Heaney's 1995 Nobel Prize lecture --- I'm sure you can find it on the internet somewhere...

yes. It, for our class, centred around how global values/products/ideas etc. are taking the place of local values/products/ideas. Basically the idea that you can enjoy part of the global culture, even contribute to it but you have to remember your roots - your local...

hmmm, well I *only* wrote 12 pages for the essay and 8 for my creative. However a guys a couple desks in front of me somehow wrote into three booklets for BOTH questions.......considering his parents' profession I guess it makes sense...

well now that the topic has moved to talking about bands more than the Music 1 paper I guess I could chime in here a bit. I'm in a Sydney original rock/pop band. We've just got into the pub circuit around sydney meaning that we finally get paid for playing original music! have hooked up with...

hmmm, well the paper was fine - except I stuffed up the essay...it was easy enough, I just never realised just how short 20mins was --- filled up all the space but only had time to talk about 1 peice instead of two ....errrrrr! I've been kicking myself all week... :mad:

Yeah, the Germany questions seemed a little left field to me anyways ----- where did those all important concepts go???? I think my answer became a little bit too much of a narration...hmmm, I guess it was an 'explain' question, but still... Germany - 5 pages Riefenstahl - 5 pages...

ah, 9 and 7 pages respectively seemed pretty reasonable to me...

Yeah, I'm only doing 2 episodes - maybe a third I have have time but I'd doubt it.... If they specify it ain't gunna be smooth sailing I can tell you that!

ok, so they didn't make everyone specify any Gwen Harwood poem in Paper 1....:D Does that mean the chances for them doing it in paper 2 for a text like Frontline goes up or down :confused: ....I'm really not a fan of all of this uncertainty :mad:

"What's an idea?" there you go.

Well on Friday my neighbours decided that a little landscaping working needed to be done in their backyard....well actually a whole shitload of landscaping ---- a goddamn huge jackhammer contantly starting and stopping every few seconds about ten metres from my room starting at 7:30am (at least...

yeah, eventhough the Vines are Australian and from even recorded their demo in the same studio that my band recorded ours I don't see anything Australian about them at all -- they might be Australian but they were created into the sensation they are overseas and practically by-passed the...

yeah I had a dream where my english teacher was going through the exam with the entire year, as if it was just a normal class doing a practise exam. Like I was writing down the answers as fast as I could and then realising that my writing so bad that no one could read it...then I woke up...

I'd say it's cool to say that shakespeare's purpose was to entertain the masses. Just mention all the action, fights, blood, gore, supernatural, ghosts...comic scenes that have no relevance to the rest of the plot - other than providing comic relief.

yeah, the aria performances were a bit strange. Like, motor ace played to a backing track (ie. only live vocals) but Taxiride of all pop bands were completely live, same with silverchair and george (although I'd have expected Goerge to play live). and yeah...the Vines - well in my opinion...

ok then - so whats everyone's argument? How do you think Stoppard has transformed Hamlet and has he created something new in the process? Our teachers seemed to have changed their opinion *after* each exam but I think I've finally got it figured out... is it just an update/modern...

well, ah...yeah - I have a 'guaranteed place in a uni/degree' that I'd like to do. I'm still studying quite a bit now at least (3 days prior!). I want to feel like I've achived something from high school, and for me a UAI in the 50s just because I've been accepted to uni would be pointless...
