    Creative Writing at Maq.

    Not really according to topic, but Matthew Reilly spoke at my schools speech night this year. He's pretty funny and apparently likes messing up model airplanes/submarines and making them into a giant submarineplanething. BCA looks interesting. It's my 4th preference :D

    Anyone doing teaching?

    I'm thinking of doing either the B Education (Secondary: Humanities and Social Sciences)/ B Arts at USyd or B Arts/ Dip Ed. at Macquarie. The Macquarie one looks really awesome - I was totally sold on it at the open day, not to mention the fact that some of my favourite teachers did the...

    95+ with a simultaneous part time job?

    I had a job and managed 98.05 - big deaaaal. It kept me sane and gave me a break from school work. I think the busier you get the more you have to maximise whatever study time you get. At least, that's how it was with me.

    What UAI did you get?

    Don't they just give you an asterisk if you get less than 50?

    DAILY TELEGRAPH - Top 200 schools

    22nd! Oh Pymble, you're slipping :) I'm sure we were around 13th last year - but on the bright side we have Elise, Julia, Lillian and Sarah the wonder toppers of subjects. Our languages dept. is having a field day with that.

    Your thoughts on IP

    Just like everyone else has said - play to your strengths. This time last year I was debating between Poster/Promotions (because I like photoshop), Performance (because that's always fun) and the ARP (because I like research and writing). In the end I realised that I get too stressed with...

    Shortlisted for Young Writers Showcase

    Exactly! I mailed off my stuff for OnStage today, so I'm getting rather fidgety about extension 2. There are so many people I know who deserve to be shortlisted and agshdgahjdwaghjsagxhjsgjksgxa. I'm about to seizure in anticipation.

    OnStage?

    I got my letter for my IP being in OnSTAGE today. Awesome! And I don't have to worry about being on a gap year, either, because it's hard copy :D So good. So exciting. Such a colourful letterhead. Congrats to everyone who got through!

    Shortlisted for Young Writers Showcase

    So. Has anyone found out about the showcase for this year's major works yet? I'm just wondering because nominations/confirmations for other subjects such as Artexpress and OnSTAGE have been released - and I'd like to see if anyone here got through for extenion 2! Good luck to everyone xo

    Trial IP marks

    I think everything just gets lumped together, which explains why we never find out our IP, GP or theory marks on their own (for the external marking). I guess the person who gets the best mark with everything added up gets 1, and it goes down from so on.

    What was your GP about?

    I was in Dani aka *caramel_adele*'s group - I played the Evil Narrator/Villain who wore red pyjamas and liked to spoil Harry Potter for everyone. Oh the memories, hey Junior Junior?
