    Where are the newies??

    Re: ... We did good old Paterson and McNaughton, a little orange book written before WW1 for all those little Scottish schoolboys whose Latin teacher would cane them if they forgot how to decline "mensa"... we were one of the last grades in our school to use that book, I think our Latin...

    Where are the newies??

    Here's my attempt: Uh... arise, moon and star(s) (generalising singular?) I think I've been away from Latin for too long.

    And you thought it was dead...

    Re: Re: Salvete! *clears throat* Maybe I've been away from my Latin for too long... but shouldn't it be "salve"? :p Heh on the subject of Chinese... Weisy was trying to teach me some Mandarin, but all I can say is "my little chicken" (although my intonation is crap, so I could be...

    Where are the newies??

    I believe it's "I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries." Oh, don't get me started on quoting Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I never stop. Just ask Weisy! "Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for...

    Where are the newies??

    Now I'm floating back to the days when we didn't know what a second declension noun was... Where does the poet live? The poet lives in his country house. Why is the daughter adorning the table with roses? The farmer is hastening to his daughter's country house with spears. O! the queen is on...

    a few questions...

    freaking_out, your teacher sounds exactly like mine, are you sure we don't go to the same school?! My teacher insisted that you can only use the variable "index" as the subscript for an array! *shakes head in disbelief* You can do well at SDD as long as you know the syllabus bullet points...

    all rounders

    Hurrah, a trophy :) I've never had a trophy before! =) Add me to the list - I got 90+ for all 12 units - I was expecting low-to-mid-80's for software and high 80's for 2U English, so I was pretty surprised.

    What didn't count for you?

    Yes, Weisy is the intellectual wondergirl of our school =) nothing is out of reach of her diverse talents!! I did 12 units, and Indonesian Continuers (94) wasn't counted for me. It wasn't my lowest mark, so I was surprised, I thought I would lose one unit of advanced English and one unit of Indo.

    So whatd u all think?

    Hmmm... fairly straightforward... the first unseen was in one of the trial papers I did!! :D Yay!! I know I got one of the grammar ones wrong - I said "interea" was a conjunction, looked it up in the dictionary later and it said it was an adverb... whoops! Oh well... I don't really care that...
