Module C sounds easy peasy as usual, but damn some of those A and B questions are a bit specific. Glad I wasn't siting this one!

That does sound irratating, but i have to say that my 3 years of university english (at ANU) have not been like that at all - quite the opposite really. I found that i was given a lot of freedom in terms of what texts i wanted to write on and with my interpritations. Even with the form that...

I think if English is taught PROPERLY it should not be pointless and should actually really help with this paper, even more than with paper 2. My idea of teaching English properly is to have lots of dicussions (as opposed to note taking and listening to the teacher drone on) which should help...

VCE English and HSC English are quite different (I did HSC and am currently training to teach VCE.) I think HSC English is actaully more challenging in that you have to study more texts and have a more sophisticated understanding of them. You are also asked to do more things over the two 2 hour...

Same as most buildings really isn't it? Named after people that seemed important at the time? Like Bruce for the Prime Minister etc. And Johns and Ursies are linked to religous orders which have their own stories and links...

From what I've heard from UC mates, that is just the Belco equivilant of Dolly's isn't it? Dodgy late night food that you would never eat unless you were drunk?

The service at Zeffereli's is crap because the staff are treated really badly, or at lesat that's what I hear. I know two people who worked there for a few weeks and just got so feed up with being sworn at, not paid on time and just generally treated like shit that they quit. As a result, the...

The place next to Electric Shadows is Babar's and it's fantastic for pizza. They large ones aren't cheaps, but they'll feed at least two, maybe three people, and really good quality toppings. Really awesome. I also recomend the banquets from the Turkish place on Barry Drive (near the corner...

I always thought that quatro had to be a front for something seedy - drug dealling or something like that. It never, ever had people in it, yet stayed open. Maybe its closure disproves my theory. Or maybe they were busted and thats why they closed, proving my theory. And people who say...

In the creative section of my HSC exam we were allowed to write anything we wanted, in any style we wanted, as long as we used a sentance that they gave us as the first lineof whatever we wrote. I wrote the most over the top parody - i figured that it was a really easy, if not really subtle, way...

It depends on what you want... I found that it was good to read a couple of examples of all the sub genres. In other words, don't read ten Agetha Christie's and nothing else, try and cover a variery of material, it will give you a better, deeper understanding of the genre and will be more...

Just wondering if anyone has completed or is planning to undertake this program? I have applied and am a bit nervous about being accepted - in my BA at ANU i had a grade averaged of 68 and i am not sure if that is good enough. I was hoping that someone might be able to give me an idea of what...

the first time i was seconds away from saying 'oh my god! stop that really hurts' but i let it go and ended up really enjoying it (i think i am one of the few people on the planet who doesn't have a horific 'first time' story) the thing to remind her is that its a different kind of pain. you...

teeny tiny little single beds. and as many learn durring O week, they are made for single people. very uncomfortable in the hot weather

Pretty much yes... this guy knows everything about me, he is literally the only person outside of my family that i trust completley, the person i turn to whenever anything goes wrong. He is just such a huge part of my life that to try and just be casual friends would be harder then to not see...

Yoru right about Wright, i don't think i have ever sat through a lecture of his with out hearing him say 'now i don't think its just me and my dirty mind here, when Tolstoy refers to cheese in this passage, he is obviously talking aout sex...' or some similar comment Just with Dobrez, he...

hmm.. i guess untill i actually WANT to get over him, i'm not going to get over him. and i guess that untill i get over him we won't be 'friends' it is wierd though, we were friends for about a month before we got together, but the whole time was flirting and building towards a relationship...

he says he still loves me and that he hates hurting me like this... damn maybe your right i'm still tempted to try though... but maybe thats becuase i'm pathetic and still want him back

See, i think thats the reason why rejection is the worst, the fact that you have no control over it, you couldn't have done anything to cahnge the way things worked out. And it can lead to an awful spiral of self doubt and self loathing
