    uni..

    i want to be a midwife :) ah well actually ive tracked down the textbooks i need for first and 2nd yr and already own some. seen the subject list and pretty sure, for example 'anatomy and physiology' is pretty easy to study as its in relation to a pregnant woman. im not doing astrophysics...

    unusual finds in your MDP box?

    yeh i made a dress, but i steered clear of the whole 'ball-gown-princess-bride' type of dress. mine was a little girls size and was all patchworked and hand embroidered in a nutshell focussing around domestication and its affect on young girls :) yeh as much as we say start early and dnt leave...

    DesignTech Nominations

    im pretty sure all design subjects are the same in this respect. textiles you are supposed 2 find out on the 13th or basically after the last exam. some schools have been faxed or rung. pretty sure u find out through ur teacher and not first hand. i dont think the various exhibition...

    Textiles Portfolio - NEED HELP!

    u could test the durability. this depends on the end use but if its for a child, then its going to be pulled and thrown around. you could test the hand of it, by that i mean the feel. its a bit hard to test and quite subjective, but u wouldnt want to use a fabric that is harsh on the skin...

    ranks/raw marks

    basically, when it comes down to it, u just wanna do as well as u can. so it you come 5th in say SOR, dnt think thats all good cos ur 5th, if u can do better, then do better basically. it depends on your cohort really, if every1 is good then rank isnt such a big deal, but seeing as ur cohorts...

    how much did you spend on your majors?

    ATAR estimate

    Yeh i reckon you'll do a good job. high 80's at the lowest but more than likely 90+. even if you could do 5% better in your raw marks, you'd nicely get a 90+ i think. goodluck! your results so far look really great. stick it to the BOS and you'll do fabulous

    Wrecked Projects?

    i think it depends in the oreder they arrived and were marked. so if your school sent them off a week before they were due, chances are they would be near the beginning once opened and sorted to be marked. we were told ours would come back last week of term3 but most likely beginning of term4. i...

    textiles trial and MTP

    Tips on Creative writing

    since yr11 ive slowly learnt (thankfully in time for the HSC) to write in present tense. it may not seem like a big deal but trust me u'll always get an extra mark or 2. theres alot more suspense to the story as the marker is pulled along with u, rather than having something recounted to them...
