I play the guitar, piano and the glass-tumblers-filled-with-different-amounts-of-water. The latter especially at really boring dinner parties and receptions. :)

Have you read Richard Dawkin's The God Delusion? Einstein's reference to the word 'God' was very different from the religious (and most likely Christian) God that you have misinterpreted it to be. I'll type up the quote from it if I'm ever bothered. :)

Ditto. I've only read The Da Vinci Code and paged through a few of his other works (which all exhibit a similar aura of bad literature), and although I'll admit his knowledge of certain monuments and places is quite impressive, his writing style lacks textual integrity and there is too less SDT...

George Orwell is one of the most revered satirical and political authors of Modern literature. I liked Animal Farm as well as Nineteen-Eighty Four, despite the fact some people in my grade found it so boring (probably because they were forced to study in Year 9). His work really gets your mind...

If you were to grow a few centimetres your pants would suddenly be too short. :D

Nope. Just did my 10 minute stretching and 30 minute light workout this morning. :) And I don't intend on changing this for the HSC, because I'll fit it in somehow.

168 cm-ish. I'd like to reach 170cm. :)

I never intended for an accurate result, just an estimation from BoS members to give me an idea of where I am in terms of everyone else. :)

I agree, and it would probably be best to be applied not solely to essay writing, but to other forms of writing as well. For example, one of our assessments involved creative short story writing and we were allowed to prepare for it a few weeks beforehand. The people who wrote their stories at...

Personally, I like Penguin Black Classics and Silver Modern Classics because of the neatness and clarity of their typeset, as well as the Notes, Further Reading Suggestions etc that is provided. Quite worth the few extra dollars. :)

Sounds like a joke about Asian parents in the Good Weekend my Economics teacher told us about. Some kid proudly brings home his exam paper/report sheet where he got a score of 96%, but then his parents ask him, "Where's the other 4%?" Jeez, some parents need to take it easy on their kids.

1. House MD, even all the re-runs 2. The Simpsons (the older episodes are much better) 3. Futurama (same as above, the new season is a little kooky isn't it? With the secret of time travel and what not.) 4. Numb3rs 5. Big Brother Friday Night Live (it's okay, I only watch it because my brother...

lol. Cannot wait until Season 5 is finally on air. Does anyone know the exact date it will be in Australia? Channel Ten's advertisements do not explicitly state the date, only that it will be aired 'later this year.':rolleyes:

I spend about 3 - 5 minutes planning before I start an essay, and I can choke up anywhere between 800 - 1200 words in 45 minutes depending on how quickly and consistently ideas flow.

How well did you go in your previous assessments for Economics? I mean, if you did very well in those, it's highly unlikely your ranking is as low as you have deduced. I think you should ask your teacher about your ranking and as to whether or not you should drop it, because they do have the...

Every school has a copy of the key terms, otherwise, how would they know how the question is supposed to be answered? I'm supposing the Board of Studies would have it somewhere on their website, it's just up to you to do a bit of searching. If you are really in need of the glossary, you could...

Wow, I have problems with those too! *high five* However, things like MSN, TV, the internet and what not don't pose as a problem for me and I can easily avoid using them. I just can't seem to get started and I feel as if I need the pressure of an impending due date. I guess I'll try the...

Agreed. And if you are writing your notes in your own words or summarising (not just copying direct from a textbook), your ability to retain information increases.
