In terms of academic integrity = Both Mathematics and English Extensions. In terms of workload (which makes you dislike the subject) = English (all units), Mathematics (all units, only because I haven't been doing classwork), and Society & Culture assessments tend to be big.

I like all my subjects except for EX1 and MX1 (EX1 is just too much making up crap, MX1 I don't study for lolololol). I'm on the fence about Ancient History; great content, but too much describing this and that and it gets repetitive.

Currently revising for my prelims and for some unknown reason, I cannot answer this simple question. It's from the Cambridge Preliminary Economics Textbook, Topic 2: Consumers and Business Markets, Chapter 4.2 Patterns of consumer spending and saving. Q4. Explain why, as individuals increase...

Damn Channel Seven for making a stupid montage of it. http://au.sports.yahoo.com/olympics/video/?autoplay_id=9290740 The guy apparently got an injection for an injury earlier and had no feeling in his thumb. Not as horrific as what happened to the Hungarian, Janos Baranyai, but still very...

Lost? They got the silver medal, I mean like they're only the second best in the world. :rolleyes: Saw Libby's swim at the school library. She was full body length in front of everyone for the majority of the race and then in the last 15 metres or so, Germany just sped up. They were head to...

Mine is quite mundane compared to the desktops here.

Re: Recommended Texbooks/Study Guides? LOL. I mean as in coloured sections and text; not just blank ink on white paper. Pretty diagrams or graphics relevant to the concept should be fine though. Excel have started to put colour in some of their newer books, but they still suck nonetheless.

In Victoria, the teachers got given laptops for classroom use (Not sure if that's still the case). One teacher left his laptop in the classroom with a bunch of over-curious students. On the internet history, they found a whole heap of porn sites. All featuring the teacher himself as the star...

LOL. The stupid things people do sometimes. *shakes head*

Congrats to Chen Qigang who decided to go against his vow of secrecy. Lin Miaoke is very pretty, but Yang Peiyi should have been allowed to sing nonetheless. I am ashamed of my home country.

I've read Hell Island and Seven Ancient Wonders. Don't like or dislike his books, but would rather read from another author.

Who's collecting the Coca-Cola contour glasses from McDonald's? I've got the Basketball (Week 2) one because they ran out of the Week 1 glass in the first day and they had to reorder! lol @ the Olympic spirit. I'm waiting for my friend who works at Macca's to get me the Swimming (Week 1) and...

Application and understanding of content is actually more important than regurgitating textbooks, but I agree that a shit teacher makes it quite boring.

Yeah exactly. They always bite into the medal after they win, and since gold is malleable I'm supposing the medal is pure gold. Even the winners of Kid Nation got a pure gold star worth $50 thousand. It'd be pretty sad if the Olympic medal was an alloy. :mad1:

Never knew there was interschool SRC. We've got some pretty good people in our SRC this year.

Random, ignorant question that I have never seemed to get answered. Is the gold in the Olympic gold medal made of 24 carat gold, or is it an alloy? Crossed fingers for Hackett to make it to the 1500m Freestyle finals, Jessica Schipper to make it to the 200m Butterfly finals and both to win.

There's a City Campus and a Kuring-gai Campus. I'm supposing they're quite far apart. (CC is in Ultimo, KC is in Linsfield). Why'd they split the faculties like that? One giant campus would be more convenient.

Ditto. Especially if it's just artificial flavouring, with the exception of bottled iced teas. Teas made naturally with fruit and herbaceous properties are lovely, however.

Because they were young at the time? Older friends of a friend of mine said they regretted not taking a gap year and just going around Australia in a caravan chillaxing because they'll never get a chance to do that until they're retired.

Exactly. Do the stupid things while you're still young, and not stuck in some office job trying to get a promotion.
