    If you could pick up additional subjects, what would they be?

    I think I'd like to do economics if I could...I've been talking to people who do it lately and it sounds pretty cool...

    School / Subject

    Re: What school you at? I've always associated prefects with old-fashioned private schools...they go around and make sure you are behaving appropriately and wearing your uniform correctly and give you detention and those sorts of things (in addition to representing school in public)...that is...

    Which subject do you find the most boring so far?

    QFT! My physics teacher...well. The only reason she knows more than we do is because she's 20 years older than us (and even then...) Physics is therefore a complete bludge where we never learn anything :mad: and I hate it

    Recommended hours for work? Recommended Study methods? Balancing school,work & life?

    Is it not possible to just ask to cut back your hours (or find another place where you could do fewer)? Because then you could have the experience and pocket money that you wanted, but you'd still get more time to work on schoolwork? I don't know, I've never had a job, so maybe I don't know...

    Difference between QLD/NSW Schools

    Re: How long were your half yearlys? Ah, I see. Well...basically we have the QCS test which tests basic skills like reading/maths/essay writing and stuff. So then everyone sits that, and they use that as a benchmark for judging your school (if everyone gets As on the QCS test then your school...

    How long were your half yearlys?

    Haha, yeah I find it fun too. Or sometimes, if you can think of a position that is kind of different to just for/against, that's even more fun...like a completely random take, which still (technically!) fulfills the criteria :D

    How long were your half yearlys?

    I'm not sure about any of mine :) but I think they are something like: English - however long it takes to do orals Maths - 2.5 - 3 Chem - 2 - 2.5?? And that's all the exams I have because the others are all assignments :D Although for my English or maths B exams, I am going to need...

    Pens: favourite type, colour etc

    Re: blue or black pen? Wow, I would love that. I'm always using 4-colour pens and the blue just ran out of my favourite one :( :( So I have to get a new one. Anyway I like blue pens, mostly because they look neater, and all the lines in my books are light blue so they kind of match...

    Anyone having a work overload crisis?

    Yeah I agree. Also if they are just giving homework for the sake of giving homework, then look over it and see what the work looks like. Go through each question and if it is blindingly obvious how to do it, skip it, but if you can't do it then it's good to challenge yourself. The way I see...

    What UAI would you be content/happy with?

    Oh, I always thought the difference in fees (excepting education/nursing etc, the obvious ones) were just due to them requiring more resources? Ie science needed labs and stuff, but humanities just a random classroom. Oh well you learn something new every day, and all that!

    Procrastinon due to lack of motivation

    Oh, it's just a weird phrase, I've never thought of maths, well, theory as "maths theory"...it's all just maths to me

    What UAI would you be content/happy with?

    Wow, I didn't realise they had different levels of priorities...

    Attitudes towards assignments/exams

    My attitude is that they are rather pointless, especially homework, which I don't do, but assignments have to be done so as to make teachers happy and get good grades and such. Also if the assignments are fun/interesting I do them properly (like teachers are always telling you to) (ie starting...

    2009ers: How was your school day?

    School was daft today. I don't think I really achieved anything much, because for 5 out of 6 lessons (7th was presenting orals and doesn't count) we had substitute teachers. Have I mentioned how much I hate substitute teachers?? Because I do. I don't mind the ones who just say "okay do xyz...
