    Pens: favourite type, colour etc

    Re: Felt Tip Pins etc? I use Kilometrico pens for everything I do, even at work! They're the way to go, since they last forever (well, that's how it seems) and are pretty neat.

    People who continue to write after time's up.

    I did that in my English Paper 2 exam on Gwen Harwood. I had about two sentences to write, then the teacher said "pens down" and it totally threw me off! Wrote about four words in thirty seconds after that, since my handwriting was atrocious. Our awesomely fantastico English teacher told us...

    School Attack 'retribution'

    Wow. When I head the story the other day on the news I thought it would have been in bankstown or somewhere like that. But the scary thing is, I used to live in Merrylands West before I moved up here to the Gold Coast!! Glad I escaped, aye.

    public school or private school to do better in HSC?

    People reckon that I'd have no trouble getting into James Ruse. And I would have done Ag, if our gay-ass new principal didn't drop it from our curriculum at the end of Year 10.

    So how is study going?

    Just had my last exam today, holidays have pretty much started for me. =] I don't plan to study much over the holidays since I'm working most days and need a break from school. But I'm going to work on my Japanese oral questions for my HSC conversation in August, and possibly start my...

    public school or private school to do better in HSC?

    Our school is run by an evil dictator known as Chris Duncan, Principal. So yeah, that's why I hate my school. Because I believe that what school you attend affects how well you do in the HSC. My school sucks, James Ruse is good. Simple comparison. Plus I wouldn't mind going to an Ag school...

    Half Yearly Exams

    Just had my last exam, Maths Extension. Think I did pretty good, apart from one simple question on circle geometry and another on differentiating something using binomial theorem...apart from that, I did ok. =] I'll be stoked if I pass all my exams. *cough* 4 Unit *cough*

    public school or private school to do better in HSC?

    I go to an average private school. Translation: We pretty much suck at HSC. If I still lived in Sydney I would be going to James Ruse right now, but am stuck at Lindisfarne. So I reckon selective high schools. Damn, I'd love to go to James Ruse.

    burnt out

    I am totally burnt out. I had my Extension 2 Maths and Japanese exams today. In Ext. 2, I gave up on the last question and sat there for 20 mins staring into space. Same thing happened in Japanese, but on the second question. I've barely studied for these exams and am hoping that my Mid Course...

    Best+Worst of Teacher Quotes and Habits

    My Maths teacher (she's the greatest!) was encouraging all of us in 2 Unit Maths to buy a Mathaid so we can sketch graphs. She was really convincing us to get it, realised how she sounded and said, "And you also get a free set of steak knives!" =] Ah, Year 11 Maths... EDIT: I've thought of...

    I feel sorry for the HSC students at this school.

    I go to Lindisfarne, which has taken in a lot of Lakeside students over the years. Three of my friends came from Lakeside. I reckon that there's gonna be an influx of Lakeside kids coming to my school; our schools are located pretty close. There's something like 26 students in Year 12 at...

    How did you find/hear about us?

    I think I head of BoS from a teacher at school around the time I was in Year 10. I checked it out last year (sorry, I'm a bit slow!) and signed up. =]

    Remembering vocab.... How the fudge do you squish it in?

    I used to always get those mixed up! Just remember that one is written one way, and the other is written in the opposite direction. Same thing goes for n and so.

    Remembering vocab.... How the fudge do you squish it in?

    I try to write all the grammatical patterns we learn in one place for easy reference if and when I revise. Then I look at our prescribed kanji and read excerpts from my textbook (Mirai 6) and try to understand the kanji and sentence structures. But I've been doing Japanese since Year 6, so I'm...

    How long are your classes??

    Re: How long are your periods?? We have 5 x 60 min periods and then 1 x 50 min period, every day. It used to be 3 x 50 min, then 2 x 45 min, then 2 x 40 min periods at the end of the day before my school got taken over by our evil dictator of a principal. :devil:

    What topics in preliminary year 11 Maths Ext 1

    Ext. 1: Just finished Binomial Theorem, we accidentally did it last year (Year 11) so we just had to go over some stuff that was a bit fuzzy and introduce Binomial Probabilities. Right now, we're just going over some harder 2 Unit work and revising for the Mid-Course exams. Ext 2: Finished...
