I'd be amazed if someone managed to miss that particular diatribe. My head of senior college pretty much tattooed it to the inside of our eyelids in bolded capslock.

- "Rich people are better at life than you are." - "You're all right wing. Well, maybe not you, you have cool hair." (Quoting - with added colour - some guy from the House of Lords) - "You mean to tell me that a sixteen year old can be buggered up the ass but not enjoy a cigarette afterwards?"

Yes. Year 11 means nada, zip, zilch.

Your year 11 marks are irrelevant - they don't count for anything. Re: your question - I don't know for sure but in my case my ATAR was drawn only from Maths, English and Modern History so unless extension units qualify as separate "subject areas" then I don't think your ten units have to be...

Oh please no. Do NOT want.

Dear god, SFOC. Was not a fan of that text. Some ideas for consideration: Since you have to do a comparison between the texts you're going to need an overarching thesis for your response. You'll have to do some adjusting on the fly because you don't what the text is yet but you can still...

Can't help w/o school rank, sorry. But piece of advice, if you're going to devote time to anything, make it English. That rank will cause you problems.

Aaaaaaaaaand that's the last shred of my motivation gone, yes indeed. Nice job but :). I'll be hoping I have a similar experience with this ridiculous thing.

37.5 hours left for this 40% History essay and what did I do all evening? y halo thar Bourne marathon. Nice to be procrastinating with you.

Yeah, I think it's one percent a day deducted by the Arts faculty for late hand-ins. My school was 20% a day and my friends' school was instant zero. New lack of pressure is quite de-motivational though. *essay due on Wednesday, nowhere near done*

The trailer is a bit eh but I'm still definitely going to see it.

+1 In the last few years my attention span has completely degenerated but the one sure-fire way I've always been able to stay focused on things for any period of time is to talk about them. Even if I'm just talking to myself. @OP: If you're having trouble settling down and memorising...

The Foundations unit is, yeah.

Any syllabus changes would put a spanner in the works. Same with the school switching modules/content.

Stressful like two days before assessments are due but other than that no. Plus the uni (or at least the Arts faculty, dunno about the rest) seems to have a much more relaxed policy on late hand-ins than my school did so if I ever actually failed to produce something on time I know it wouldn't...

Oh great. Now we know who his policy advisors are.

Maybe we should start sending kids into the mines again. After all, those pre-teens are a massive demographic just sitting there watching Hannah Montana. And all this time we're killing online is a threat to society, detracting time from study or the aforementioned work in the mines. BoS =...

Except that Hitler's "thing" involved mass extermination but also the encouraging of an extremely high birthrate (8+ kids got you a gold Mothers' Cross) as part of his Aryan population initiative. So you've still got a large population in that scenario, they're just comfortably blond and...

Godwin's aside (ETA: but I reckon it's a valid comparison), yeah, that's pretty much all I heard too.

When in doubt, start nuking the poor.
