That IS a joke, right? Yeah, I think that's right. I started with the quote and said something like "So said John the Savage in his final confrontation with Mond in Huxley's dystopian novel blah blah" then made brief mention of the sacrifice, or the "price" paid for happiness. Then I...

1. Area of Study 2. Module A 3. Module B 4. Module C 5. Asshats who finish the exam and then say, well I wrote 40 pages, but I think I should be alright... We had a multitude of primordial screams of joy once that was over. I'm just glad it is :)

I hadn't heard that it was becoming a Standard module, but I had heard that they will be changing some of the speeches. I'm not sure which ones are going, but to my surprise I think King was among them. I didn't think they would ever get rid of that.

A slightly delayed reply, but a good one nonetheless :rolleyes: Open book exams? Whoa, nobody told me about that...I'd hate that, it would just be a race to the index :p ... I love multiple choice...except when they do some stupid one on a technicality and there are basically 2 correct...

YES. I'm looking forward to that. A LOT. There's this one particular guy I'm thinking of who does well...I don't know how to explain him. How about you put a squirrel in a centrifuge, then let it out for a bit? Mm, something like that. But Uni's going to be a very welcome, and I think...

Of course. it wouldn't be fair otherwise. Careful with that. I know people who think they're great at what they do. But they really.......aren't. Those that really do well are interesting. You might think they would all have the same personality but they can be quite polar. Still, I...

Oh the adrenaline is killing me...you know I'm just going to be a messy blob of goop tomorrow.

I'm really starting to take a liking to that word, troll. I never really had a goal, I was that bad. I thought, I can only try so hard and get what I get. Which is true, but I think I really didn't set a goal because I didn't think I could achieve that well and I wouldn't feel very happy...

Oh yes. That's very insightful. Lucidly put... As for smarter students who only want a UAI of around 70 and hardly need to work to get them...it's around this time they start ringing you up saying "shit, what do I do?" Everybody starts doubting themselves now. There's all this hype and...

You bolded me! :D Ha...you can use that...but if you beat me, I'll have to take action. Somehow I fear that I will think I have failed myself if I don't do well. But I'm sure I will right? Right, of course I will. My friends keep telling me they have yet to introduce me to alcohol...

Yeah, there's way too much weight placed on the HSC. I know I can say that the HSC is not the end of the world and it's not the be all and end all...but at the same time, it's very hard to follow my own advice. Kinda like a revolving door ^^^There's a beautiful simile for english i just...

yeah, but like i said, the majority people are going to react exactly the same way. you know, i hate cramming, stupid how i cant study 2 nights before, but its all i can do the night before.

you win :rolleyes: a million points to you. i'd really love to continue this conversation, but i'm going to die in an exam tomorrow, so i'm busy writing up some last wishes. but you're going to reply anyway, and then i'll have to come back here and reply but thats ok :)

no offense meant, the same will happen to me...even if i write out everything i am going to do, and i do all of it, i still worry about all those what ifs. good thing about english though (if there even could be one) is that everyones in the same boat. if you remember that its not so bad.

I think it's quite unlikely...however, don't take my word for it, and cover everything. They probably won't make that the question, but there's no reason they can't....they've just never done that before (at least not since 2000)
