I really don't think they're so picky that if a text is likely to be used as a related for a different module you'll get marked down over it. I used it for Belonging this year and my teacher didn't mind. I think they'd just be impressed that a student had chosen an intricate, nuanced and...

Lol country town, my marks will be in the paper and everyone who has ever met me will feel entitled to know how I went and then gossip about it. They're still talking about a girl from my town who did the HSC when I was in year 5 and didn't do as well as everyone expected. That was 8 years ago now.

Oh I'm generally up at that time anyway, I'm not staying up just for the marks. Though I think I'd struggle to get to sleep anyway even if I did usually go to sleep earlier.

It's less than a day and a half now :O

Lol as if I'm going to be able to sleep that night. I'll be holding my phone and sobbing from 4:30 onwards haha

They come out this Wednesday, ~6am.

Yeah the official time is 6am but they usually release early. Like how our timetable came a whole day early this year

I can't really post exact highs and lows because I have no idea what to expect. I know I won't get higher than 99, but I have no idea how low my mark might be

Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie about the aftermath of Indian Independence would absolutely blow a marker away I think. It's quite long and it's a little hard to get through in parts but you could read it over the summer. It's a very sophisticated modern text, a little left of centre for...

Alice in Wonderland is a great related text! I noticed you don't have much under poetry, I recommend 'Daddy' by Sylvia Plath. It's a really good general text because it deals with discovery about the true nature of other people (the speaker's father and husband), discovery of the realities of...

Nope, I think a lot of people had two in one day at some point (I had three in two days). It's just bad luck, it won't destroy your chances of a good mark though.

Yeah, it must be so hard for them to keep quiet. There must be so many people they want to tell!

After the ceremony on Tuesday

Pretty much the exact same here!

No, they're published midday Wednesday (though you'll know by 6am obviously). Speed isn't even in year 12.

I'm thinking that'll be my reaction too

I think they're usually told on the Friday before results. That way any rural students who top (though there aren't many) can make arrangements to get to the ceremony.

Macquarie isn't a technical university

I agree, it keeps you full for longer and has less sugar. Same goes for yogurt if you eat that, low fat yogurt is basically a dessert.

You'll have a higher fat intake, but fat promotes satiety so you'll find yourself feeling less hungry throughout the day. A little extra fat in your diet would actually be a good thing in terms of your ability to function all day, work out longer, and not crack from hunger and end up binging. I...
