    Twilight movie

    my expectations for it were exceedingly low so i wasn't disappointed. i quite liked Charlie, i hate that Bella is so ungrateful toward him. Edward and Bella's relationship was contrived and superficial (though i found it to be that way in the novel too) some over-the-top acting (Edward...

    I got 81.00, and did nothing all year.

    agree. i had a massive cram throughout the exam period and did all my assessments, but i didn't study consistently and still got 90+. having a good memory made up for laziness in this situation.

    How many of you missed out for your course by like 1-3 marks!

    i was only expecting 80, so i put my first preference as BA for a uni which had it at around 76... then i got higher so i'll change it now. but are you sure UNSW commerce last year was 90.2? i could have sworn i looked somewhere and it said 95 or so... hmmm.

    Family's reaction to your UAI?

    Dad: Is that good? Mum: Whoa. See, bachelor of arts IS below you. You could get into medicine with that right? UAI: 92.65 my dad wouldnt have the slightest clue on how it's calculated, lol. not as bad as a friend's mum though, when he told her 82 she was like, 'oh, that low huh?'

    Top Achievers in Course List

    Re: Top 20 in Course List so, pretty sure no one from my school got anything. thus confirming that my year group is in fact possibly the dumbest since our 2005 group.

    Police shoot teenage boy dead in Northcote

    i wonder what people would be saying if he was an adult. people have this 'aww poor baaaaaaaby' attitude because he's only a teen, if he were an adult i bet the people in the article would side with the police. from what was written in the article, the police officers' actions sound justifiable.

    Im thinking of taking italian

    first off, having an italian background does not mean you will be able to do well. one of the people in my class has an italian background, which turned out to be a hindrance because at home his family speaks dialect. another girl who decided to take italian continuers in year 11 switched...

    pompeii hsc

    they had 'programmata' or electoral graffiti, i.e 'vote Gaius Julius Polybius aedile. He brings good bread' (bread was one of the things handed out for free at games, and is thus an example of the patronage system on a wide scale), abbreviations i.e. VB = 'good man', DRP = 'worthy of the public...

    Harry Potter: The Tales of Beedle the Bard

    the book is a collection of a few fairytales from the HP world. i'm pretty sure you can read about it on amazon, they had a few hand-made copies that they auctioned off for charity before mass-producing them (again, for charity, i believe).

    me and my friend got the same ranking for english. is this possible?

    yeah, i tied in two subjects, english and bio. for bio they separated us, for english they just left it the same. i asked my teacher why they didn't separate us, he says it's basically impossible so they just send in the ranks as equal.

    Will I be marked down?

    um, so you're saying that an entire grade/class of people can submit the same essay and there will be no consequences? okay then ;)

    Song: Welcome to My Life by Simple Plan

    +1. i learned this in year 10, song lyrics simply don't have enough substance (i.e. depth, techniques) to analyse on their own, unless you're a really good student in both music and english don't try it.

    Will I be marked down?

    why is everyone saying no? do you seriously think that if an entire school turned in essays, as the OP says, 'near word for word', that there would be absolutely no consequences? if i read really similar essays i'd think either, 1. teacher wrote it for them, 2. they all plagiarised another...

    Brisingr

    at first when i read eragon there were quite a few things i didn't like, but i still enjoyed it. however, i re-read it again recently and despised it. aside from ripping off star wars and lord of the rings, it's cliched and badly-written... i hate arya with a passion, she's so unrealistically...
