    Prefect positions in 2009

    PROs evidence of "school spirit" & willingness to give/waste time for the sake of making the school less shit corollary: looks good on a resume [and if the uni looks at stuff like that you have more of a chance to get in] teachers are more likely to like you/be lenient towards you corollary...

    how to beat stress?

    when i'm in a really "OMFG fuck this shit-fucking shit" mood, i do a few rounds with a punching bag or smash around a hockey/soccer ball - it gets rid of the "fight-or-flight" mindset engendered by the stress, engendering increased cognitive clarity + efficiency.

    Single sex schools vs coed

    the only time i really missed the co-ed system was in PE. there's a reason why "woMANchild" is my subtitle. then again, i like single sex better because i don't think that the solidarity in our could be achieved with guys around - even though i do miss the dickheadery at times.

    do you wear glasses + how much do you study for?

    0.- dayum. short-sightedness is so annoying when you're in the back row of a comedy gig and most the comedian's gags come from facial expressions. but in general, when i forget my glasses in class sometimes i just go and sit right in front of the board or squint really really hard. as for...

    Fave line from a movie

    that movie in general is piss-your-pants gold. Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels: Nick the Greek: Dunno. Seems expensive. Tom: Seems? Well, this seems to be a complete waste of my time. That, my friend, is 900 nicker in any store you're lucky enough to find one in. And you're haggling...

    Tiananmen square, help please.

    it's not weird because what we know about history is mainly from the perspectives of historians whose evidence should be scruitinised for usefulness and reliability. your main people of your argument should show whether the perspectives of the government, the students, the western world, et al...
