    so I got a late round offer

    I got a late round offer too- basically the same course, Architecture, but at the University of Queensland instead of my first round offer at Queensland University of Technology. Although my dilemma wasn't as bad as yours- the Unis are only 7km apart, and I decided pretty quickly. UQ it is.

    QTAC Offers

    I got my 2nd preference- Architecture at QUT, Gardens Point. I wanted Architecture at UQ, but my UAI was 93.1 and the cut-off went up to 94 this year. Hoping for a second round offer, but, failing that, I'll give QUT a try...

    Ext 2 English!!!

    How did everyone go?? I personally could not believe my eyes when I saw my examination mark: 50/50!!!!!!! wow! my assessment mark was as expected- 46/50 (in school rank not so good because of crazy change of medium...) thus giving me a grand total of 48/50. wow I thought ext 2 would get me an E3...

    should i or shouldn't i

    Ok... well, personally I think everyone is being a bit harsh. Surely, thedude88 lacks finesse but here is a confused boy seeking help... and all anyone can talk about is the spelling and grammar! (ok, it bothered me a bit too but not a major point.) To those people who claim he must have a small...

    Telemarketing

    Hello all I work two jobs, and the one I do on weekday evenings (5pm- 8pm) involves telemarketing for a small home-based business that sells Kirby cleaning systems. My job is quite good because it doesn't involve cold-calling, most people I call are very nice, although there are still some rude...

    End with a bang.

    "Discuss" does allow you to argue. Disagreeing does not mean going off on a random tangent. It involves exploring (and exposing) the limitations of the question. If your arguments are compelling then it is quite alright to disagree with the statement. I've found it not entirely preferable to...

    End with a bang.

    My class studied those two plays as well. I agree, the question was terrible, but I think *somehow* I managed to put together a rather good response. Not as good as Australian, which I spent a few minutes writing down a plan of what I was going to write, but i'm going to err on the side of optimism.

    last exam = drama exam

    Australian theatre question was great! I think I blitzed that part of it, very good well-structured response. I wrote 10 pages Irish theatre- barely any time for planning, somehow pulled it together in the end though. I thought it wouldn't turn out too good, but in the end I was quite happy...

    Bands score range

    Ok, from what I've gathered (from a draft performance bands sheet for extension 1 english, equally applicable to ext history) is that for each essay 21-25= E4 16-20= E3 11-15= E2 1-10= E1 So presumably 42+ would get you in the top band.

    finding a place to live?

    I'm in a similar situation... although I am lucky enough to have some family up there, so I able to stay with them temporarily until I find somewhere to live. I'm hoping to find a small apartment/unit... or if all else fails, a sharehouse, although I am not keen on this option. Oops I forgot...

    those who have school formals after the HSC??

    Ours is on the 12th of November, which is pretty good, except that its the day after the drama exam! Oh well at least the formal isn't on the 11th. I'm looking forward to it heaps, except I have no good transport... which means I will most likely be arriving in my boyfriend's Ford Laser lol...

    Extension History - General thoughts

    God I can't believe what I wrote caused such a disturbance. I guess my teacher was just a gem- she did so much work for Extension (not saying the students didn't; I did A LOT of work for extension) and tried to be at the forefront of the latest archaeological evidence and academic scholarship. I...

    Extension History - General thoughts

    I think question 2 wasn't as bad for Tacitus as everyone seems to think. New archaeological evidence (such as the Lyon Tablet, The Senatus Consultum de Pisone Patriae [SCPP,] Tabula Habena [I didn't use this one so not sure of the exact spelling,] and even non-epigraphic sources such as...
