    Coke Zero bad for weightloss?

    I wouldn't drink it. The artificial sweeteners, like aspartame, can make you crave sugar, and that would ruin the purpose of a diet. (Source: my dad has told me this several times, he has read a few reports on this.) Take a look at this article as well...

    Section II - Core: Crime and Human Rights

    I wrote about six pages also, some paragraphs were shorter than others, police powers was only a short paragraph, while others took up a page. I just tried to cram everything I knew into the response, I had more planned but there wasn't enough time :(

    General Thoughts: Legal Studies

    The exam was harder than I expected, but in saying that, it was still manageable. Just thought the bos would go a little easy trying out the new syllabus. Oh well. MC- Mainly easy, a few tricky q. Human Rights - Happy with those q, although i forgot about NGOs, woops. Remembered some eventually...

    Section II - Core: Crime and Human Rights

    That crime question was worded so weirdly, I has to read over it several times before i understood what they were saying. One girl in my class actually exclaimed 'what the hell is this' and started laughing hysterically when we were going through the exam. I wrote that the legal system is very...

    HSCeebs..

    I felt like that yesterday, but now I'm actually motivated to smash that Legal exam! Though that might be because its my best (and easiest) subject. Just keep going, end the HSC on a positive note! :)

    Can I apply for illness/misadventure?

    Ok, thanks guys for the advice, I don't think I'll have to get the misadventure form as the pain has gone; it got really bad last night but some tablets helped clear it up. Don't think it affected sor, although that exam was F****D up. Still going to the doctor though, to find out what's wrong.

    Can I apply for illness/misadventure?

    LOL I'm pretty sure its not menstruation, even though I am a girl :P It's been happening on/off for the past week or so, only started to get real bad before the english exam. Seriously fml though, I'm not sick one day the whole year and then this happens.

    Can I apply for illness/misadventure?

    It's kind of moderate severe-ish. Not hospital severe though, I've had that before. Dw about being harsh, I have doubts myself, just want to know whether I should be bothered going through all the paperwork or just deal with it. Just wanted some opinions.

    Can I apply for illness/misadventure?

    Hey, so I was wondering basically what the title says. I've been having severe stomach pains, resulting in going to the bathroom quite often. It's affecting my ability to study and sit the exams as well, as in Maths I had to try and ignore it as I needed all the time I could get. Is it...

    Should i move to adv english or stay in standard?

    Move to advanced, standard english will drag you down. It's much easier to go well in Advanced. In 2010, only 0.18% of people got a band 6 in standard, compared to 13.98% in Advanced. 2010 Standard Stats: http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/ebos/static/BDHSC_2010_12_15130.html 2010 Advanced...

    Can someone give an impression of my Creative piece?

    Here's what I thought: Don't use the word belong. Imply a sense of belonging/not belonging but saying it is too obvious. Telling, not showing. "She was speaking to me" E.g. "Her kind words soothed my anxiety" rather than "She spoke to me and then I felt better" or "Her face turned red with...

    What are you guys going to do with your english essays?

    E. Recycling them. No use to me now, I have no younger siblings, and my friends in lower years do standard.

    Good/bad exam rooms

    Our exams are in the school hall, so pretty good conditions. The only issues are at lunchtime, when you can hear the kids from the primary school yelling a little bit, and it takes FOREVER to get the blue form signed. Also, there were random geese squawking during the exam, like wtf, where did...

    Module B Hate Thread

    I was so annoyed with myself in that exam, I did speeches, and I was originally going to study Suu Kyi as well but only included Bandler and Keating in my study! Ah well, that was the biggest BS ever!

    Eco recommendations

    It's good textbook, it has all the relevant info and its explained well enough. It just has these weird pictures and memory clues that are meant to help you remember the economic terms, which i find unnecessary. If you're a visual learner it may work for you, my class just laughed at them.

    Who has atar expectations which they dont think are attainable?

    True, true, other pathways, back doors and what not.. I've already got the plan B to get into law/arts at mq by 2nd year, so its not the end of the world. 90+ would keep the parents happy though. Well if you don't get 95+, tell your dad that he is your inspiration lol.. also mention all the...

    Who has atar expectations which they dont think are attainable?

    Haha HI-5 - we can collectively disappoint them! I have a cousin who got something crazy like 98/99... but apart from him, my sister and I are considered the 'smart' ones in our family... they ALL expect me to go well, like 90+ is a given..
