Ugh, I agree. The one good thing about it is it's over. Only the next section kinda sucks even more.

I'm doing My Place (you poor soul, it's boring as shit). My AoS is journeys, but I can see what you'd have to do. Talk about how the discovery of her aboriginality alienates her, because in a sense she doesn't belong in either Australian or Aboriginal culture... quotes: "I was a grubby...

correct on both counts. a couple of kids in my year had to change to senior science from chemistry because the class was too big, but you can't pick anything up because you will have missed the foundation work and stuff.

Re: How long are your periods?? three 80 minute periods on mon/tue, four 80 minute periods wed-fri. difficult to pay attention for, good when you have frees in the morning or afternoon.

if you're not concentrating (which makes it hard to understand the work), then it's useless as a backup... i had the same situation as you (different subjects though), and i haven't regretted dropping maths, but that may not be the same for everyone.. so you might want to get advice from your...

best subject - italian continuers (94%) then bio at 93% worst subject - business studies (75%) not too bad, but in future i'll study for my tests so hopefully i can pick that 75 up to 80+

yup, in my italian continuers class we're a month behind... we bludge so much in class, so i'm really not surprised. i think the teacher will make us complete a whole workbook in the holidays to compensate. shitting myself about ancient history mostly, but aside from that, not really. it's just...

i do ten units. i dropped general maths because it was my worst subject. there was a lot of work and homework, i didn't see the point when i was going to go crap in the exams and not have it counted anyway. it's better without the pressure of extra work and assessments, etc, as well as the fact...

i've thought about this a lot... Advanced English - keep General Maths - already dropped; switch for Economics Business Studies - boring; switch for Legal Ancient History - keep Biology - keep Italian Continuers - keep; accelerate maybe, and/or pick up extension (i didn't know there was...

i don't like the idea, because there are all these teenagers who will vote for whoever has the best slogan or advertising campaign... very few of the 16-year-olds i know actually care about policies. i.e. a girl in one of my classes was wearing a Kevin '07 t-shirt, so my friend asked whether she...

italian continuers - not done yet, 33/35 in first task (94%) ancient history - not done yet, 18/20 in first task (90%) english advanced - 15/15 (100%) business - 56/70 (80%) biology - not done yet, 14/15 in first task (93%) don't know ranks yet. english, business and italian were all tests...

from my understanding, evaluate questions are asking you to make a judgement on the texts' worth. how well do text 1 and 2 convey journey? which is better, and why? i.e. "this text is effective in representing journeys because of blah blah blah, but this text is more effective in representing...

Not sure where you can access it, but try to find Homeland by Anna Maria Dell'oso. It explores ethinicity/familial relationships. It's short, full of techniques, and it's possible to link to My Place (as I'm doing the exact same thing). Good luck!

Just so you guys know, there's an Italian chat thread that's been dead for ages... if you guys feel like reviving it I'll join in.

ooh, this thread reminds me of yr8 science... Student: What are year 9 studying, miss? Teacher: Reproduction, but there's no practical. Nine months is FAR too long for a topic. a couple of people laughed, but i think most of us were like 'WTF!', cause she's old. we also had this...

Haha, i love that song. send my love the the dance floor (see you in hell) && cobra starship. yay for songs not yet murdered by commerical radio/television...

Title: Choke, Lullaby, Survivor, Invisible Monsters, Rant Author: Chuck Palahniuk (also wrote Fight Club) Genre: Fiction Medium (fiction, non-fiction, novel, novella, poetry, biography etc): fiction Why You Should Read It: Palahniuk is a really descriptive, humourous writer whose stories...

I agree... my favourite was Order of the Phoenix and I think it basically went downhill from there... but that's because I don't like Ginny and she had a bigger role in those last two (Harry and Ginny together with children = vomit. I really wanted either one or both of them to die. But Albus...

I started reading it about a month ago and got bored of it. I disliked Edward, just because everything was about how devastatingly gorgeous he is... I felt as though there are all these points where we were supposed to sympathise with him and say 'Oh, poor Edward', but I didn't feel anything for...

i did this experiment in class, we tested it at a high temperature and low temperature, and room temperature. apparently the latter is optimum for enzyme function because it's the closest to the temperature of the human body, where it's naturally found in the stomach of newborns (they need it to...
