    Height in relationships..?

    used to be pretty self-conscious about my height so i prefer taller guys. if they were shorter i think i'd draw the line at 170ish, personality blah blah notwithstanding. too awkward.

    Transport of lipids in mammalian blood?

    You're confusing glycerol and glycogen. Modifying your statement slightly, lipids are carried as fatty acids and glycerol in plasma.

    Need a poem please?

    Off the top of my head: Of Eurydice - Ivan Lalic Fax X - Gwyneth Lewis The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock - T.S. Eliot The first two are probably the easiest to analyze in the time frame you have.

    Cult Classic?

    Also, A Confederacy of Dunces. It'd take me hours to come up with a definition I was happy with so I found this instead: I laughed. It's true.

    Speeches - eye contact

    Not a "percentage", but eye contact should be maintained during the introduction (when the teacher is concentrated on you) and during the conclusion - both aren't hard to memorise, and leave a good impression. Throughout the body of your speech, you should look at your audience every sentence or...

    memorising essays?

    Break it down into basic points. Ideas/techniques/examples are the most important things to learn, don't get stuck on the exact words you use. This way you're more flexible when you get sprung with a question you didn't prepare for. Also if you're an aural learner reciting out loud to yourself...

    Biggest Distractions?

    Haha I know. I tried to sort of differentiate them in my post by saying "some", but I guess I wasn't clear enough. A close friend of mine has a "to-read" list of books that she's going to get to after the HSC. I just don't have that self-control. :(

    Biggest Distractions?

    Books. Every time I finish one, there's another. Seriously don't understand how some kids can make themselves read only set and related texts all year. TV shows that I've downloaded: How I Met Your Mother, The IT Crowd, Skins, Whose Line Is It Anyway, etc. So many wasted hours but so worth it...

    Half Yearlies, anyone else have theirs?

    Already had mine Wk 6-7. Seriously want to bitchslap whoever wrote my timetable. In the second week, I had Math E1 on Monday, then Math E2 and English E1 on Tuesday. Seriously.. sleep. And only drink red bull/coffee before an exam if it's in the morning and your only exam for the day.

    If You Could Choose A Text To Study For English, For Your HSC, What Would It Be?

    Anyone here a Mac user?

    :( White Macbook, 2.2 GHz. Though I do echo that sentiment, it's frustrating how easily it becomes dirty.. whenever I do clean it, I'm shocked that it used to be so white. Thank Christ.

    Death

    Same. I would like to die in my sleep, ideally. I don't want to die from a terminal illness, or as a result of someone else's actions (e.g. car runs me over at a red light, stabbed for my handbag, etc.) I'm naturally very emotional, but death doesn't hit me that hard. I feel numb for a...
