Lucky. :( I had a really good teacher, and then she left us. lol. Our new one is alright, but doesn't make me as passionate and interested in the subejct as my old one did. Which sucks, because like I said, you can tell it COULD be an interesting subject, but it just isn't to me. WOE.

I find Ancient dull in general. :/ Pity, it has the potential to be so interesting too.

Not doing Maths was the greatest decision of my life. :D

The textbook our school gave us is Dixon's "The Market Economy - 2007 Edition". I don't know if I prefer it over Riley, but when you combine the two you get a pretty thorough understanding of the concepts, so I do recommend using at least two books. Whether you spend the money and by it, or...

I think that analogy is bullshit. No offense to your tutor. I mean, sure, you can go to tutoring and extend your knowledge, blahblahblah. But technically, the school teaches you all you need to know. This "10 percent work" is crap. The Board of Studies does not expect every student to learn...

I'll either be doing 10 or 12 units in the HSC, depending on whether I drop Ancient or not. I don't particularly like the subject, don't think I'd do well in it, don't really feel motivated to do well in it, but considering I'll be doing EE2 I kind of want that back-up incase the markers rip my...

Um, I don't know. :o We just finished Troy, and we're doing the Celts now. Don't know which one is considered the case study, though.

'sif you are. Year 12 is a different course, different syllabus, different everything. It's helpful to have your Year 11 notes so that information will be there if you need to refer to it, since Year 11 is pretty much a foundation to build upon in Year 12, but theoretically it shouldn't matter.

Happy Birthday!! :santa: Today was alright. Got a few results back: Economics 47.5/60 (don't know my ranking, but the mark seems pretty good in comparison to others), Business 73/90 (totally blew it, I'm really pissed off at myself for fucking up the revenue statement and therefore fucking...

Yeah, if you have only 10 units with no back-up, which isn't the case for this poster. Even using the worst-case scenario where they don't drop it and fail miserably, chances are it'll just not go towards their UAI. No harm, no foul.

Nothing eventful or interesting or cool. Just had a bunch of gross assessments and assignments due on top of each other, and didn't have much time to have fun on the Interwebz. =/

Why the hell would they put Business the day after English, when it's the third-most popular subject? Lame.

What area of the TV industry? Are you talking about acting, or something behind the camera like directing, lighting, etc.? As someone who's interested in all of these things and can understand your frustration re: wanting to leave, I would still recommend you stay in school. I can only speak...

Don't drop IPT. If you're ripping it, you're ripping it. Scaling's not going to change that.

Hang your head, boy.

I really like Economics. I'm doing reasonably well in it too, which shocks me a bit, but I'm happy. My weakness at the moment is essay writing, but my teacher constantly reminds us that since we've never done the subject before she doesn't expect brilliance straight away. The more practice you...

lol. Don't you know? Unless you're doing accelerated 4U Mathematics in Year 11, you are a FAILURE. Do you hear me? A FAILURE. Absolutely shameful.

Keeping in mind I don't know your math capabilities, I would pick up 4U Maths. If you're strugging you can always drop it, or have it not count towards your UAI since you'll have two units of backup. I don't know, I don't think there's any harm in picking it up when you always have the option of...

Fair enough, I suppose. It's just something that would never, ever appeal to me unless I WAS struggling with a subject. Extra school work? No thanks. ;) Haha, thanks! Missed you guys too, it's great to be back. :D

Sorry, but this is the part of tutoring I'll never get. Why would you waste that kind of money when you're not struggling with a subject? I just don't understand. To do it solely to get first seems like such a superficial and tedious reason to me.
