    'after the bomb' elective for ext eng

    To be honest, this elective really feels like a history lesson sometimes. Waiting for Godot is brilliant. "Estragon: I'm going. [Does not move.]"

    As in writing the circle formula? Are you sure I can write "By logic, the locus is a circle" and achieve full marks?

    Parametrics Query

    Find the equation of the locus of a point P (xy) that moves so that it is always 4 units from the point (-3,2). These are the exact words of the question, though I think it meant P(x,y), not (xy). I first thought the locus would be a circle with radius 4 and center point (-3,2), giving the...

    Exact same subjects? Thats awesome =] I'm dropping 4u maths though, I can't handle the strange concepts that we're expected to understand. I really hate physics too, it's a ridiculous amount of theory for a subject which should be mostly maths =/ How are you finding Extension1 English?

    Parametrics Problems!

    Does anyone else find parametrics a hard topic to grasp? If not, is there some easy way to go about it, because its giving me (and a majority of my class) quite a hassle. Here's a question. Tangents from the point P(x1, y1) touch the parabola x^2 = 8y at the points A and B. a) Show that the...

    Emily Dickinson: Belonging

    Re: Emily Dickinson This is my letter to the World: - Poem is iambic, meaning the rythm is that of speech - Capitalisation of words = emphasis - Second line; "That never wrote to me", suggests that she is neglected by the world. Also an example of disconnection from society. - "Her...

    09'ers, Does anyone else feel as though they have lost their perception of time

    Usually I find it hard to accept that there's a new year (eg "Wow, 2008, now I'll have to write 08 instead of 07.."), but at the moment it really does feel like 2009. Maybe because we've started year 12 already?

    What have you sacrificed for the HSC this/next year.

    After seeing 50% of the posts with 'dota' in them, I'm kinda glad I've never played the game o_O.

    What have you sacrificed for the HSC this/next year.

    I still play FPS games, since they're nowhere near as endless as all your MMORPG and DotA shit. I quit WoW a few months ago. I live a pretty long way from my friends, so the social scene won't change much. I still work every weekend (both days). Hey, whilst you're getting your 98 UAI, at...
