lol...i don't really see my grade as being that nerdy...unless im just used to it. Our grade is actually a bit psycho...incidences of lighting pe shirts and blowing things up on the basketball courts, then filming them, and putting it on you tube...under 'baulko'...lol that got a few people...

o right...and i did use his book =) its very good and about the duck thing...no! lol im vegetarian and I have five pet ducks, and they're so cute!!

lol when did i mention i was from baulko? and yes, my teacher is bruce dennett =) he's the best in the world!! i was so lucky to have him for modern and ancient, but then our ancient classes got switched =( but yeh...we don't always focus in class...like we didn't even finish ww1 until a...

in the end tho, i was really happy to get a question I could write about comfortably... before our trials, we only spent two weeks on the cold war, with our teacher being away for 3 or more days...then after the trials, he was away for much of the time looking after his mother (who is 92!) and...

yep i do trotsky...and i was really fine with this one, coz of our trial question: "does man make history, or does history make the man" discuss this quote in relation to your personality

i wrote about how the domestic policies were inseperable from the foriegn policy aims, so how collectivisation and industrialisation served to modernise the country internally, and thus he sought trade pacts with foreign nations to consolidate this modernisation but i didn't go into great...

basically the advent of stalinism and his desire from control shifted foriegn policy aims and strategies from the promotion of world revolution to socialism in one country. So the main changes that Stalinism brought was a shift from ideologically based foreign policy to one dominated by...

i started another thread about this, coz i didn't see yours... i did trotsky, russia and cold war...and i did the gorbachev question....i had prepared a practice essay for the end of the cold war, so i think i did relatively all right for the question, but im just worried about the degree of...

lol i was just joking...but my writing is really hard to read as well...for my english trials, i had written on every paper: extremely poor handwriting affects meaning

yeh...i did trotsky too... but for russia, i was ok, coz we did our own research assessment on foreign policy, so i just did the second question...

well i wrote like 25 pages for each section.... but seeing as i only wrote one word on each line, in actuality, i only wrote like 400 words for each section =P

not sure how many people do either of these topics... but what did people think about the gorbachev question for cold war? only after the exam did i realise that gorbachev was a personality..so those who did both cold war and gorbachev, unlike me, will have a distinct advantage for the cold...

i did the cold war for peace and conflict... i thought the question that i did was pretty good, on the policies of gorbachev, till i got out of the exam, and talked to a teacher who said that the question will cause outrage...due to the fact that gorbachev is a personality! lol i hadn't...

i thought it was a fairly straight-forward paper... tho one of the teachers at my school (baulkham hills) said that it was a very difficult paper...she said the transformation question was hard..and that the majority of the questions had very narrow focus... personally I can see how the...

hahaha...they just had this segment on the radio...702 drive, and they had the rothwell guy on the line, asking him about his book... then they asked him what he would write for the questions...and he said about the horizon question, somethign like how you're always travelling and that you...

haha...i actually really liked text 3 in section one...i thought there was enough to write on...i found the first text hardest! and the journey wasn't really implicit in the second text. and for the other two sections, i had prepared stuff that fitted really well, and I could just blurt it...

ahahah...i just have to post up pictures of my room during exam time, to represent what a study area should not look like =) here is my very organised, clean desk, post-trials and my filing system and the rest of my room....i'll clean it sometime.... and finally...
