    So it's 1am on the due date for Ext 2

    And I'm finally, finally finished. ..now, to get stuck into some last-minute logbooking (I have to actually find the damn thing first...) and pop a few no doz to get through the next 2 hours. Aah, the joys of procrastination. Hope everyone is feeling good and happy that this major work is...

    HSC POETS 09! Unite!

    Nearly there. Nearly. Looks like we're both on the procrastination boat, eh. I'm just editing the RS again and I'll be sweet. I feel good though, I'm the only person in my Ext 2 class who started the RS before the night before its due :)

    Finished Major Work? Started Reflection Statement?

    Hey Bonnie, you shoulda called me! We could've discussed this! You can justify anything you want I'm pretty sure. It's how you justify it that's the hard bit. I know yours is supposed to be funny...so couldn't you talk about that you needed the extra font size to mimic like stand-up comedy or...

    Odd question from a Yr 11 student.

    Agreed. I would say use the short story as a basis. You're going to want to have a concept, which requires research (and alot of it!), and you'll probably see your short story in a different light when you've actually started the course. I don't see any harm in using it as a starting point. If...

    Finished Major Work? Started Reflection Statement?

    Don't think I'll end up doing it, it would be pitiful and unimpressive, ha! Yeah, I'm not going to have a word count either. Do we have to have our centre number on the covering page, and does the RS require a cover page? Sorry sorry all the questions, but my teacher is ridiculously unhelpful.

    I know none of you are doing poetry, but does anyone reckon its worth me making a bibliography as well? Good luck everyone, the submission day is so soon. It's nearly over! (WOOO!)

    Finished Major Work? Started Reflection Statement?

    I'm wholly free verse, so I have no real discussion on rhyme/metre. Although I do have some on experimentation of form and all that icky postmodern stuff. I haven't obviously alluded to any poets, its more subtle, so i'm not sure that it's worth trying to explain something in my RS which is...

    Finished Major Work? Started Reflection Statement?

    Maybe its just especially poetry then. Like, I have a whole bunch of poets that I suspect have helped shape my 'style', but my 'style' was already formed before I started the course. Plus, I don't want to be going through the poetry with a fine-tooth comb and saying that this particular line or...

    Finished Major Work? Started Reflection Statement?

    I've also been wondering about that. Because, if I wanted, I could thicken the RS out with constant references, but I almost don't want to. It makes me sound completely unoriginal...like every single thing I've done is a product of the direct influence of someone else...which it isnt.

    So lets say I hand in a 1800 word reflection statement

    +1 A teacher at my school has marked Ext 2 for a few years, and she said its really REALLY obvious when people go over the word count for an RS. Think about it, they're going through major works for hours on end, if yours is more than a page over, they'll start to get suspicious.

    Finished Major Work? Started Reflection Statement?

    Shit shit shit shit. I just remembered that we have that god forsaken journal. Shit fuck motherfucker. Someone tell me some good bullshit-y things to put in there, to make up space? Anyone? I think ill just print 1000000 drafts and hope for the best.
