umm, school only takes up your whole life if you're really shit at time management (or if all you do is study). taking up extensions =/= no life. that being said, i wouldn't pick up extension myself, but english is one of my favourite subjects. it's not that difficult to get good marks in...

i had italian listening and speaking today. i'm so angry at myself, i paused and said 'um' so many times. it looks like i'll be second in the class for this task, but it's alright because the guy who most likely came first (who is italian, hence can practice at home), is shit at writing which is...

ranked in about 183 or something, last year's dux was about 99.something UAI

i'm gonna write out a practice essay for journeys and find more related texts for telling the truth for english, write a vocabulary list for italian, and make summaries of all my other books.

i think it's a fancy way of saying that choice and probability both play a point in paths presented to us, and once you choose one the effects are irreversible. however i thought the word accretion meant acculumation, so 'inseparable accumulation of probability/choice'? that sentence doesn't...

Haha, also true. I've tried giving CC before. Some more mature people can handle it, but it doesn't help that fanfiction.net is pretty much made up of 14-year-old girls. Yeah, I agree. The plagiarism suit JKRowling is in at the moment is a perfect example of what you're worried about. It just...

If you're a beginner doing it as a writing exercise, you may want constructive criticism or opinions, which is why you post it on the internet. If people like it, they give you kudos. Yes, that's true, and that problem has been realised in her recent legal case, but it's not all people that are...

You may be recognised for writing the particular story, but you're also acknowledging the original source. Look at most stories, they will have a disclaimer that says that they're not taking credit for the universe or the original text. People give you kudos for your writing, and if you have an...

I agree with you on Twilight as a series (as you can see from what I said previously). I found Edward's character quite irritating (especially the constant descriptions of "OmGz LIeK EdWArD iS SoO HoT"; if I wanted to read about that I'd go on some 14-year-old's myspace), he was too perfect to...

haha, i was on a shift where we had a mystery shopper and we got a mark of like 35/100. it wasn't because i was doing nothing, i just hate asking people if they need help because 9 out of 10 times they don't, or if they do they go to the counter... and there's also the fact that i got abused by...

my teacher discouraged everyone from using that one because it's a prescribed text for the syllabus (not sure if it's for standard or advanced), he said markers look down on it... but then again, he discourages us from quite a few texts like road not taken, songs etc because there's 'not enough...

it could be advantageous because you're the first year to go through it, so the markers won't be absolutely sick of the topic and the texts/relateds like they probably are of journeys... actually, when i look at a couple of my texts, they could work for belonging as well. but yeah, i don't...

i'd say so. take the first assessment task i had this year, three of the rubrics were like "explain and discuss incident/situation 1" which says nothing about techniques, but the whole assessment was about our understanding of techniques. plus, your classmate, who i'm assuming has read the...

Re: Business Environment, (quick question) the business environment is made up of internal and external factors... plus, your teacher said the first one is right, so yeah, it's wrong.

i'm studying emma and clueless too; i haven't yet finished it, but i feel there was one thing i thought i'd point out... <---- i'm guessing that you should probably not refer to your own opinion, or write in such colloquial terms... feature articles should be an impersonal analysis of the text...

i had no idea that skins was back on! i have the season 1 DVD. it's an awesome show... my favourites are Cassie and Syd. But Josh is kind of cool too, in a psychotic way... what? awwww nooo they can't do that. i like the characters we have already... I work at Dymocks, and as far as I know...

woo, my school is there. it's sort of near the bottom of the top 200 (it's 178), but at least it's not under that...

I worked really hard in the earlier years, not knowing that none of that actually matters, so I'm kind of burnt out from that... my work ethic has plummeted since year 7... i used to be so dedicated but now i procrastinate a lot. i keep up with classwork, homework, assessments etc but i...

This is a good idea. I can think of a few more: authorial interpolation (where the composer tells you what to think of an incident/character), enjambment (poetry), vector, gaze, salience, proportion, blur, colour (for cartoons), contrast, descriptive language, metalanguage, mood/tone, title...

Re: Half yearly results :) Mine start on Monday. I'm okay for everything except Ancient history (which I'll get a good mark in, but for the amount of time they've given us, I should get full marks).
