nah i added sourie to my ignore list once he got unfunny... it just says "This post was written by someone on your ignore list. Click here to view this post." or something like that where their post should be, and if you click on the link it opens the post in a new window on it's own.

when you're brainstorming ideas: - think about stuff you like (hobbies, sports, interests, favourite art movements etc). if you do something you don't like you'll probably burn out :eek: - what's your favourite medium: painting, drawing, sculpture (clay, assemblege, carving, etc), difital...

i thought you were talking about oranges or playing cards or something... shoulden't this be in the society + culture forum? is there a society + culture forum?

hmm well a few of the polls on the main page are out of date... (well the one on email.php is at least), and same with a few of the countdowns. hey! apparently it's -68 days till the HSC!!! and the site seems to be suffereing from an identity crisis of sorts: the main page seems to be...

i posted this in the thread referenced above: ------ i finished year 12 this year. i was trekking in chile for the second half of the summer hols 2001-02, so didn't study then, except i took an english text to read on the plane and during airport waits. when i was at home, i didn't do...

relax, you lot! proper studying with structure and all hadn't even occured to me at that stage, and i still got a pretty decent uai (97.95, and i'm bloody proud :cool: )

i'm in a similar situation, having lost the letter that said i got in... i dunno when the opening etc is now... arrr *looks through pile of school newsletters and other paper junk b phone, to no avail* :( ah well it'll turn up

if chem (the fairer subject, of course :p) is "crap", then physics is... (oh man, i'm so tempted to abuse my power as a moderator to boost the vote for chem to some ridiculously high number... *slaps self in head* get a hold of yourself man!)

i finished year 12 this year. i was trekking in chile for the second half of the summer hols 2001-02, so didn't study then, except i took an english text to read on the plane and during airport waits. when i was at home, i didn't do much organised study. looked at a bit of maths, read half my...

a friend of mine got 76.55, and he was ecstatic. his words: "i can't believe it! i'm actually going to uni! with other nerds who will get all my jokes!" (btw, he's planning on doing electrical engineering @ newcastle. with his extra 4 points, he just scrapes in.) so really, like...

how fast did year 12 go? oh, about that fast.

i did a mixture. depends on the subject, and how i'm feeling. maths: no notes besides in-class, just do lotsa questions by hand. chem: mostly handwritten software: mostly typed. art: a bit of both. probably more handwritten. english: about 80% handwritten. mindmaps worked well. but...

i'm going to vote for newsouth... simply because sydney doesn't have any graphic design degrees, and UNSW does (at COFA, that is). that said, sydney uni does have class. 'specially all those old buildings that look like castles. :santa: happy christmas everyone :santa: (yes, i'm putting...

hmmm conquering chem seemed to do the job for me, except it does have lotsa extra info you don't need and aren't tested on. also, the questions are crummy, esp the end of chapter ones... basically "write down everything you know about everything"... the excel was also pretty useless, if...

mmm. certain study echniques may work better for certain people. some people learn best by writing it down (that'd be me) others can pick up on things just by reading them over and over some people can learn things by having them explained, or by listening (either to a teacher, or a tape...

i don't know how regional newcastle is (well, it's oustide of sydney, so regional by their standards :p), but i got 97.95, which i was really happy with (and quite surprised about). i go (or went) to newcastle grammar, and according to our headmaster over 55% of our year (which is a pretty small...

hmm, yes, but with all this talk of scaling, don't take up subjects you dislike just because the scaling is apparently good. if you really dislike the subject you'll probably get crummy marks in it anyway.

"and aussies bands suck in the scheme of things anyway!" ooh no way. go to homebake. all the music you need right there. on topic though, bands I hate (well not really hate, cos even bands i don't like have 1 or 2 good songs): blink 182, sum 41, 1 dollar short, and all those other pop-punk...

from my reading of the conquering chemistry hsc text, forensic chemistry seems quite interesting: but also quite difficult. our studied shipwrecks and salvage, probably because of time constraints. it's fairly short, easy and there's alot of doubling-up on earlier work on electrochemical cells...

why do you do it then? (i.e. send yourself one email for every database error) you know you'll get database errors on account of too many connections, esp at "peak seasons" -- around year 11 exams, half-yearlies, trials, leading up to and during the HSC, and UAI time -- if there was some way of...
