    Advisory Day 12th Feb

    So do we choose our own timetables? Do we do that just by choosing any subject that we'd need in our majors or something? Is the Advisory day like a big sit down where we listen to somebody talk for most of the time?

    Can you upgrade into Advanced Science from Science?

    I hope it’s okay asking this here, Manipp (I didn’t want to start my own thread). I’d missed out on the Advanced Science course by about two marks and had been offered the Science one in the Main Round instead. If by the unlikely twist that I’d get an offer into Advanced Science in the Late...

    Dotpoint was free for me. Lol, school lent them to the class.

    Handwriting

    I've been told by a marker that they'd usually try to give you the benefit of a doubt and will try to decipher all you've written. If they can't read what you've written, it would be given to another marker to see. Maybe, if the second marker feels shitted at your work, they won't bother...

    General Thoughts - English Adv Paper 2

    King Lear should fucking die five acts before Shakespeare intended him to. I wish I owned the school's copy of King Lear just so I could fucking rip it to fucking pieces. Module B fucking screwed me up.

    the current english course is a waste of time, true or false

    I don't suppose learning about photosynthesis and its waste products in Biology or finding out the equation of a tangent in 2u Maths or finding the locus of a point in 3u is really necessary as a life skill. Especially when you're gonna become say, an economist.

    Uni Open Days

    Re: Infoday/USYD Live As in we'd have to buy the bags of stuff? :( What was the gist of the debate? (For anyone who saw it) I just missed it. :(

    late/absent

    Ours is also counted as a "partial absence". We have to report to the lady at the front office, she marks off the time, gives us a sheet which we'd have to lug around for half the day. SMS's and letters also get sent home to the parents to tell them that we're late.

    Exam Vs. Normal handwriting

    Holy shit! That's a massive difference between the two. Can you even read the second one? Wild guess - English creative writing?

    Exam Vs. Normal handwriting

    Just thought it'd be interesting to see the differences between one's usual (unless yours changes constantly) handwriting to the illegible scribblies during exams. You can put scans if you can be bothered. There are a few handwriting threads up but they're either incredibly old or really long.

    My friend wants to drop out...

    Maybe tell her you'll support her regardless of her decision, that might help ease the pressure a bit.

    Preferences?

    Re: First Preferences? B Science (Advanced) B Education (Primary) B Pharmacy Diverse range, confusing. So, I'm considering B Arts, for the time to decide.
