What is the most effective way of self-teaching the sciences/eco in the holidays? Reading the textbook seems like the obvious way but in my experience has been ineffective (far too easily forgotten). What else would you recommend in order to grasp the concepts and effectively "learn ahead"...

Pretty sure you both have different tastes in women. Face it, MHS is experiencing a major "babe drought".

Do you neg-rep often? Oh, AND- how many rep points do you need to get another bar? 100, right?

Use to write (when I made notes). Now I just download and memorise them (who has the time to make them anymore?)

High 99s, because high goals are a good motivator for me :)

This. IMO, Dixon is pointless if you have a decent economics teacher. I've never used Riley myself, but from the photocopied handouts we've gotten, he waffles on quite a bit... So, Bulmer if you're aiming for a high mark in the subject :)

got a friend to change password + deactivate facebook, it is too much of a distraction. now i'm abusing this thing bahaha msn: s2hayden@hotmail.com

Finished with 4U maths today. Feels great, although I'm still finishing the exam in my head :@

I think I become far too easily infatuated with guys. I used to go out and sleep around ect but I've become somewhat of a 'nerd' as of late and I'm not really going out/going on dates anymore. That said, if the right guy came along and he was actually interested (as they so often aren't) i would...

I'm considering French as a major in my commerce degree. I'd do econ/arts but it's 5 years- & i don't love arts that much :P

To be perfectly honest I've been really lazy when it comes to hobbies. I've no interest in sports and what else is there? :P Music is a mix of pop and a smattering of other genres- kinda typical but meh XD What about you?

Might have done modern instead of business in preliminary... McDonald's periods before assembly were pretty great though :P Oh and I should have picked French continuers despite having no experience (they offered it because they didn't run beginners)

yeah mum's making dinner and then we're coming :) HOLIDAYS TOMORROW!

I bought Ulysses, The Brothers Karamazov and The Age of Reason. Which one should I read first? That is, when I've finished Atlas Shrugged. I don't think it ever ends, to be honest...

Packet of lettuce from the supermarket +a shitload of Paul Newman's ranch dressing. Shake it up and eat with a fork. Heaven.

Then again, people change their writing in exams? It's a good idea, looks like you've written more and you get the satisfaction of saying "I wrote x pages" :D

lol our conversations are dominating the active forums :P +i didn't say environment/inequality wasn't important, i just meant i'd rather be enjoying economics and the impacts of globalisation are more "political economy" than economics anyway :P

LOL. I've also heard the idea of "indigenous views on science" articulated somewhere. I've come to accept that they're going to teach us about science rather than REAL science in high school. Which is a shame, I think more people would like it if they beefed it up a bit more.

I liked it in year 11. Learning about market systems and such was great! My bread and butter. Now it's all about inequality and environmental degradation and that crap. I mean, who enjoys learning about that? Then again, we're covering issues and policies now so I'm guessing it'll get better...

No, but in the MOST interesting part of year 10 science (and i'm scraping the bottom of the barrel here), it was "THIS ISN'T TRUE BUT WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU EVOLUTION". They managed to co-ordinate our religion lessons to teach us creationism at the same time FFS. So I started reading 'On the...
