I can believe people can talk for so long and in so much detail about pens! By the way my History teacher said black pens on average get higher marks...(as a result the smartest guy in class has used a blue pen ever since and it deosn't seem to stop him topping the class)

ah, I don't think it could really be because of the bpm during baroque music. I mean baroque songs were at all different kinds of tempos and so is any other style of music... and yeah, I just reckon that the 90s seems extra bad now cause were in the middle of it. I mean now we can listen to...

don't worry, I don't see how it could be seen as your fault fatmuscle.... .........but if I get a crap mark!

its a better idea to try and keep good threads going than create heaps of new ones I reckon.....

I though viva voce's were just for subjects with major works. I had my ext.2 english viva a few weeks ago. There're so much easier than exams...don't have to write anything, don't have to prepare as much etc...

Yeah I just finished my 2000 word research essay on evaluateing the contribution of leadership of the opposing forces in determining the outcome of the Indochina conflict. It's worth about 20% so hopefully the essay it reasonoble.

Thats right....I've finally finished my major work.....Yeah I know it's almost 3:15am, but now's not the time for details... My radio drama is now just that, instead of the imagined dream that its been for so long I can now look at it nicely compacted into a nifty little CD. Hmmm, I guess...

Well I'm making a radio drama...so I've had to write the script for it::rolleyes: I think the script turned out ok. Not bad, I don't think its particularly brillient either. It's in a Beckett/Stoppardian sort of style and it works alright. I found scriptwriting to be easier than prose...

by the way why does english feel they have to have two exam papers? Maths seems to be able to fair well enough without it although they have the same number of courses to separate out in terms of scaling or whatever...

Is it just me or have they structured the timetable something like this... Week 1 - primarily humanities eg. english, business, modern history Week 2 - primarily maths and sciences Week 3 - primarily extension humanities like ext.1 english, ext history (?) Week 4 - left overs eg...

you guys have an ext. 2 class? Our school has about 25 people taking the course but I don't think we've ever all gotten together at once. We have mentors that we meet with one-on-one anytime you want and can arrange to meet with them. ie. if you really want to talk about your work you...

Well my composition has piano, xylophone and electric bass. My school has a little recording studio so I'll keep it simple and just record it live. I'll my get teachers to play all the parts since admitedly most of it is a little beyond my own capabilities. But just a couple days ago I...

damn I hit "enter" by mistake and pre-maturely posted...hmmm In wagga we played inside some pretty new hall that was close to the library. Playin music was cool, but 14hours travel for a one night stay was just insane. I'm leader of the big band at school so it's not like I had much choice...

yeah, Augie March's keyboard player in a car crash I think...I was really disapointed with them live, I mean they all just looked really depressed. Now I know their music isn't always really enegetic but you got the feeling they'd rather be somewhere else...like they were unwillingly doing you...

yeah I take ext. music... I play a number of instruments but for the HSC is doin percussion. My problem that I broke my wrist and seeing that I'm a percussionist its been impossible to practise for the last couple months (I thought this stuff only happened in nightmares)....I just got the...

hmmm, well if you read my first post on this thread you'll find that I said I don't listen to music when I'm studying for the exact reasons you outlined nelly....although I don't know how you fall asleep listening to any of the music we're talking about. and yeah...I like the Whitlams and...

Well I'm a chronic Simpsons fan... I just got cable so I'm always watching the comedy channel, a music channel or the history channel....we didn't get any movie channels, bit expensive there...

but ah, now that I read your posts again I agree with average and Morgues. Your right your IQ doesn't have "a lot" to do with academic success. Next time I will read your posts more carefully before I go off on an only minorly related rant... sorry bout that guys

That is not true for everyone. For the average person school is simply a matter of how much you study. Some people will study just as hard as you and not get the same result. The smartest humanities kid in my school works no where near as hard as some other students. He can joke around all...

appearently anyone doing ext. history can thank bob carr. Since he's a historian himself he "appearently" put pressure on the board of studies to include an extension course in history that originally was no going to be offered...
