I got there around 8:20/30 and i was 37. Were you at Ravenswood, cos if so, no. 104 that's hectic; I would hate to have to wait that long. Nice school though, much better facilities than ours! It was alright I guess; I think i did better at the PLC practice day, though that counts for...

I got reading - 9.5 + 9.5 = 19/25 listening - 20.5/25 writing - 13/15 + 5/6 + 6.75/9 = 24.75/30 speaking - 17/20 I didn't think my speaking was too flash, so i guess our teacher marked leniently cos he usually marks really harshly, but for trial everyone got >16. I misunderstood most of...

It's one of my best subjects so I was thinking of continuing French (if not another language). can't decide between continuing French or doing a beginners course, eg. Japanese. Arts combined with some other course eg. commerce, law would be the favoured option, I don't really mind which uni...

I know eh...some of the questions our teacher asks us are so random. Like, "what do you do if you go to the beach and it rains continuously". What the hell? Though if you listen to the Band 5's and 6's in the standards packages, some aren't totally fluent, so the markers probably give some...

Mine's at Ravenswood too, though at 9 am. Man I'll sleep in...too early for a Saturday... Basically you come out of Gordon station, turn left and walk down for 5-10 minutes and you're there, you can't miss it.

Everyone seems to agree songs based on true stories are really emotional so I gotta include Bruce Springsteen - American Skin (41 Shots). And then there's also Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight KISS - Beth Guns N Roses - November Rain Bon Jovi - Bed of Roses silverchair - Miss you love...

Huh? So you didn't do the whole trial all in one day? Anyway you're lucky you didn't get the reality tv passage in the comprehension as there was some tricky stuff in it. And you're the only one in your class? Bummer...

Really like Scryed, though nobody else seems to, let alone know what it is? Other ones I'm watching/rewatching at the moment are .hack//sign, Kenshin, Witch Hunter Robin, Saber Marionette J and Excel Saga. No dubs though...

Can't wait either. People have been waiting decades to see how Anakin becomes Vader. Also the original trilogy is coming out on dvd soon. So double yay..

Persona 2 (PSX) Nice rpg, bit too linear though.

Creed - Higher When dreaming I'm guided to another world Time and time again At sunrise I fight to stay asleep 'Cause I don't want to leave the comfort of this place 'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape From the life I live when I'm awake So let's go there Let's make our escape...

The writing was pretty interesting, I did the "Why my school is great" speech and the diary entry about disagreeing with a teacher. I loved being able to write "I hate English/chem" over and over again. I couldn't pick up a third reason why animals are so smart (in the listening section) though.

Fear Factor is okay when they do physically challenging stuff - that one where they shimmy across a tightrope thing over a cliff, picking up flags, that was good. Anything where they eat stuff you would never eat = bad. Spiders, flies, eyeballs etc. Best: The Amazing Race. Worst: The Simple...

Good for you for doing two languages... Was gonna keep doing French + German but dropped German to do chem. Bad mistake, doing two sciences, unless you can cope. Plus chem is boooooring. French is cool though; no assignments, textbook munching, etc etc. Eco was okay in the prelim...

Oh man is that all you have to do?! I spent quite a lot of time on that one little question - was the only one i couldn't get out. I integrated the velocity equation from part (i) and I was like, What the hell I have two constants (k and c). So subbed some stuff in, got x = t^2 + 1 and left it...

Yeah I agree the Lear question was bit more specific than expected. Luckily I was planning on doing feminist reading anyway so it didn't make much difference. In that Critical Study section I wanted to do the Citizen Kane question - "What film techniques are used?" Damn Shakespeare... Plus I...

I also write essays on my comp and you have to remember that you have to cut down the length a lot for a written exam otherwise you just won't finish in time.

People hate it when you end your story with "it was a dream" etc. and also if you have evil twins in your story. Seriously... We did the Catholic trial, the essay for Section 3 was general so that was good; just take your prepared essay and add in "leads to understanding" several times...

Languages are my only really strong subjects - except that no longer applies for English as I seem to be getting progressively worse at it. I do French because my sister did it and was good at it, and also several members of my family speak it as well because they had to learn it when they were...

Thanks so much for the info, Nerissa. I wasn't really sure what I had to do; the wording of the question is a bit vague. It seems that it's bit more complex than what I originally thought. Thanks again!
