    So the analysis text is the lyrics to 'Raise your glass' by P!nk. In the song she says 'too school for cool' in which she has rearranged something (a proverb? cliche? ..idiom?) to fit the themes of the song which is celebrating being different. I just can't work out what that 'something' is...

    assistance for a laptop noob

    The only way to be able to handle any graphics settings above "Medium" without spending over $4000.. Is to just buy a PC. Gaming simply cannot be done adequately on a laptop.

    I'm a mess, someone help?

    How are you doing 4 extension subjects in such a small school? :O My school only offers two, Math 1 and English 1, and they're on at the same time. They've stopped running now because there was only 1 kid in each. We have about 1000 kids, but we are ranked verrrry low. Late 500s. I'm imagining...

    Discretion in the criminal investigation process.

    A case I'm using for my discretion essay that highlights judge discretion is R v Daniela Dawes, who purposefully killed her 10-year old son and got away with a five year good behaviour bond. Her husband was very upset about the apparent lack of justice, that his son had died and she didn't...
