What i'm saying is that depression that is caused by the stress of HSC is magnified. Usually it's something that people are just learning to cope with. It is foreign to them, and they can't always identify it as depression. Depression throughout the HSC period is different. Those who've...

I see what you mean. But i think it's evened out. They had easier tasks and harder ways of researching. We have hard tasks and easier ways of researching.

We have the internet - a ridiculously vast source of information accessed through a few clicks and keystrokes. Nuff said.

Depression brought on by the HSC and depression during the HSC period are incredibly different things.

haha, they all had hilarious names like cornelius and frances and maximilian. i go to pittwater house, its on the northern beaches.

Unless you're besties with your teacher, don't count on your mark staying the same. Sometimes you have to disregard your morals for success. Ultimately, you have to treat the HSC as a game. If there was an easier route to take, that minimised your study time with guaranteed maximum success...

Haha. Musicology is the theoretical study of music. Instead of playing or singing you write an essay based on a argument that has something to do with music. Last year a guy did 'The music of Nazi Germany influenced the actions of Hitler' or something like that. Another girl did 'Contemporary...

*puts up hand* you're only right to an extent. you can choose your elective as musicology or composition rather than performance and rely on your english/aural skills. dude, the music freaks like me only dominate the performance side of things. does it really seem all that intimidating?

Everyone always forgets that Music 2 scales just as good as physics/chem. And has less of a candidature.

It's happened to me. My old Ancient teacher was shocking at maths. Just take the extra marks. Seriously. HSC + Taking the moral high ground = Disaster.

Only do 10 units if you feel like you're sitting quite comfortably high marks-wise. I dropped from 13 --> 10, purely because i had so many major works, and also because I'm averaging mid to high 90's in all of the subjects i'm doing now. Oh, and i guess this is only valid if you're aiming for...

Can't help feeling you may be thinking a little too hard into this. I agree with what you're saying. What i'm trying to steer people clear of is making shallow assumptions on a modern-day text that has very little connection to notions of Romanticism, but may have similar themes. I'm doing...

I disagree. You can still write from a child's perspective in terms of thought processes and dialogue, then detach yourself as a narrative voice for description etc. I've done it before, and gotten great marks. Often the ability to be able to adopt a characters' point of view fluidly and...

I think the reason so many people do Our Town and Streetcar together is that they parallel really well. Both of the playwrights have similar intentions in writing what they wrote. And the whole idea of Williams and Blanche being a symbol of his homosexual suppression is really interesting, if...

You sound intensely organised, good on you! I'm constantly redrafting my piece, i just can't help it. Every time i read it or perform it i find something i don't like. That's the trouble with writing your own piece. Eckh! I've sort-of organised costume, and have my simplistic stage design and...

No, but it's better if they do. Rather than saying a 21st century film or book reflects Romantic thinking, it's better to find something from the era and then you don't have to justify your choice as much -- it's right there in black and white that the text is from that time. My Ext.1 teacher...

I did some revision today on my Plath/Hughes notes for midyear exams, so thought i would try and help out a little more. First of all, it's integral you discuss poetic techniques more than the finicky details of the story between Plath and Hughes. Their seperation, and her suicide is highly...

Bahaha. i was singing 'haaaa-reee auf gotte' the whole way home. which is also somewhat sad. having those programs on the seats got me through that performance. i just read through all the german before they sung it, wondering if my pronounciation was right. what school do you go to?

I know! And she had a crazy mole! (couldn't resist..im so shallow) She was fair good though. Not a massive fan of Baroque music, but it was nice to have something that wasn't purely instrumental!

Sure! 'Your Paris' and 'The Minotaur' were my faves. I love Sylvia Plath though, think she's a legend, so i kind of loved all of sylvia's. Well, we were asked to show the conflicting perspectives of Sylvia and Ted through their poetry. To be honest its quite easy- just find the differences! It...
