Congratulations Barack Obama. Time to make the world a better place. Can we? Yes we can! [x].

I'll cheers to that.

I'm Soooo happy that Obama won. His speech was excellent, and I feel he really wants to make the world a better place. I would have voted for him. ;)

Course you have a chance man. Don't even freak about it til your exams are over. I heard of a site that estimates your UAI through your mid-years, but because of scaling and all anything can happen. Depends on particular ranking and how everyone does all year and in the exams. Like I said, don't...

I feel good about my performances. Had two REALLY nice markers. They smiled, thanked us. One was a middle-aged man who'd listen intently and tap his feet and pull nice faces and the other was a younger woman, really nice aswell. Both were really nice people, and I jumped with my guitar a few...

Yeah, funny you should mention those texts cause I wrote mainly on The Handmaid's Tale, even though The Lord of the Rings is my favourite film of all time. :) I didn't use it at all. I prefer to enjoy masterpieces rather than study them anyway. ;)

I just hope I do well. :). I did my best I feel, so a mark isn't important really. I won't let anything hold me back from doing what I need to do. [x].

I used 5 booklets. 3 full (I'm pretty sure one had more than the normal amount of pages, maybe 10 not 8) and one page on the other two. That's for both pieces though, essay AND creative writing. I'm guessing... 25-35 something pages? I put 30 - 35 cause pffft, that's what it felt like. :P

I have a few quotes on each texts. 3 or 4 for each prescribed and one extended for related. My genre is Spec Fic so I focus mainly on conventions, evocative techniques and speculation and CONTEXT. How many prescribed/related texts is everyone using? I was told by one teacher that top answers use...

I've got one main story that can be manipulated to a degree. I have a few others and writing something on the spot isn't too difficult if you make it interesting, well written and stick to the conventions of your genre (I'm doing Spec Fic actually). Good Luck, Everyone. =D

IMPORTANT!!!: Oh, shit, I probably should have mentioned this: If you're REALLY having trouble, try this site: www.sparknotes.com Desperate times call for desperate measures, but I find it helps foundate background information etc and is amazing if you use it properly and conscienciously. xo.

Trust me, Kid, there's a lot of people in the same boat as you. Just chill and focus on your quotes, examples and thesis. Take a break and relax every now and then. I like to near-OD on coffee every now and then, but... wouldn't go doing that if I were you guys. Anyone doing Spec fic? I think...

Also: with the structure piece I just said that the piece was almost in Rondo form except there was an absence of the final section 'A' and just spoke of each section. A, B, A, C, (Other A would go here...but didn't! >= \) :P Good Luck to all. Hope you all went well. :). I hope WE all went...

I feel okay about mine. It went fast yeah, and the pieces and questions I thought were actually really good. I thought we'd get something on contrast but apparently not. I just snuck in terminology everywhere I could that related to the question (affrettando here, sforzando there, drop a...

Hey, I can't really compare your essay to mine, one because I'm doing Spec Fic and two because my essay is way different, and mainly formed through points on the spot. As far as your layout though, it looks good. Just make sure that you keep it relevant to the question and each paragraph...
