Not according to the Board of Studies. As for the Continuers exam, I left it at thought: "No more Livy for me. Ever." My class then had a ceremonial "let's-rip-up-every-translation,-exam-paper,-essay,-Latin-Continuers-Sheet-we've-ever-received-and-throw-them-out-with-cheering-and-applause"...

Alls I know is Communication is marked in Newcastle. I don't even remember WHY I know that.

Eurgh. Chemistry. The only topic I know decently is Acidic Environment. Mainly titration. Possibly because I did the titration competition. Also I've grown up in a very chemistry-ish household. But Chem does fill me with fear and trepidation. It's my second last exam, yet neither English...

Funnily enough, I'm also listening to Friday, I'm in Love. It's a great, great song. As for the disease, I did "Huntington's Disease". Only I know I stuffed up the occurrence because I'm a closet moron. Oh well. I can live with 4/5. [[Or fingers crossed my marker doesn't realise just HOW dumb...

The communication 6-marker was... odd. We talked about it with my teacher afterwards, and all he could say was: "secondary sources. research. dissection. throw sound at it." Which is what I wrote, so... whatevs. The core 8 marker, and you just talked about the immune response? Erm... you...

*stick insect in blu-tak under microscope *innundate with sound *observe membrane. The fun part is it seems the 60+ Bio candidates at my school all had similar experiments. Teehee. Also -- in terms of the role of the tympanic membrane... are you sure you're not just thinking of its role in...

Maybe not, but you're right -- I don't think the MOST correct answer. If enough people threw it, and the markers see how awkward the wording of the question was, they'll probably be lenient. It happens all the time in Latin Continuers (apparently) with the grammar multiple choice, so they might...

My hand froze up in the middle of the core 8 marker. I got two lines in, and it turned into a claw and refused to write coherent English [which concerns me, because my last 3 exams are all my big essay-type subjects, or just my big "write lots" courses. Urgh.]. Eventually, I forced it out, and...

Think about question 6 logically. Just because the temperature of the organism was less than that of the cage doesn't necessarily mean that the organism was an endotherm. There isn't really enough information for a complete conclusion to be made with C. However, D makes more sense, as we SHOULD...

Also, year 12 isn't allowed to go. Because the teacher hates us.

Yes I did. And No, I didn't. I was dragged away from a different event for it. I should have stayed at my other event.

We've been specifically told that if we use any part of Plato's Republic, my English teacher will personally slaughter us. But if you're into the classics, try Virgil's Aeneid, Book VI [[Aeneas' journey to the underworld]]. That's one of my texts, along with Pleasantville, The Tempest and...

Re: cool jeresy names??? Yeah, My school's the same. So we're getting parents to call in and complain about how "It's so COLD! The Girls need something extra to keep them warm, so they should be allowed to wear their jerseys from the start of the winter uniform!" And people in my year are...

It's something my Latin teacher tells us all the time. "Girls, it doesn't matter that the mark difference between the eight of you is twenty percent (or more), because those of you in the top half of the class will pull the others up come HSC time," It has to do with how your internal...

mmmhhh... There's a little bit more to it than that, Jachie. Not much, but a little more than straight regurgitation. And I really don't like "The Fiftieth Gate". In fact, the whole "History and Memory" module is frustrating and annoying...

Hmm... I'm a little iffy about doing songs for additional texts, simply because there's not as much depth that you can go into. Plus, my English teacher somewhat frowns on them (or, at least does for Imaginative Journeys). My best advice is check out old prescribed text lists for History and...

hahaha I have the distinct feeling my form was supposed to be in today, but it was the "swimming carnival". Got cancelled at 6.15 this morning because of rain. Got to school and not only was the sun out and shining, the sky was BLUE. Anyway, I'm probably going to get my band nickname on the...

We're still working through Ad Urbe at the moment, so I haven't been actively looking for Virgil... BUT: Have you checked the Perseus project? Mostly their translations are pretty good to check out. Alternately, there's the eBooks on Project Gutenberg that aren't too bad either. It's been a...

Vah! Denuone Latine loquebar? Me ineptum. Interdum modo elabitur.

Yeah, I'll admit it. I'm going and, like everyone else, I'm doing 3A (though my teacher told me to do 3B. I guess I'll see). I went last year, but ended up doing 2X. Why? Never let a friend talk you into going to something, then let her decide to back out last minute. Meanwhile, your younger...
