    Workshop at Wenona this sunday.

    You not done the VV yet? Wowee... We did ours in ... Feburary, and that was considered late. I aint got a ticket but I know I'm registered. However, with all these stories, I come to this conclusion: English Teachers= fail with communications. Lol the irony!

    Workshop at Wenona this sunday.

    I'll join you. We'll be explorers together in the mysterious unchartered territory of Wenona. RE: Me being ticketless: So I figure I just rock up, hopefully early, find the "Big Gym" - wherever that may be (I'm gonna take a big guess, and head for the big building, which will probably be...

    Workshop at Wenona this sunday.

    Yes except I imagine the tickets have a code or something on them. Besides, I have nobody to photocopy off from. ... Apart from tickets, did any other info come in the mail? ie, what we need to bring, a map perhaps? ... *hates* AustraliaPost

    Commonplace Journal-Distress

    How to have a semi-normal journal (according to my teacher): Get some "how to write" guide, here are some suggestions: The Art of Fiction by David Lodge Reading like a Writer by Francine Prose Everything I Know About Writing by John Marsden How Fiction Works by J. Wood Bird by Bird by Ann...

    Workshop at Wenona this sunday.

    Me Too!!! ...alone. No teacher, no classmates, the lazy/busy bums. Le Sigh. Who's excited to see what people from other schools are doing? Actually, I have a question: Are the tickets like actual tickets? Coz all I got was an email saying: Dear Emily, This is to confirm...

    Sexy Journals!

    So everyone's claiming how sexy their journal is ... We want proof. Post your pictures, or just a description of the awesomeness of your Journal here! Mine's a nice black (narrow) bantex ringbinder. It's A4x3cm thick (I think ... My teacher has kidnapped it this weekend :P). I got a ringbinder...

    Class of 2010: Eng Ext 2 Roll Call

    Eilys Close - FanFiction.Net It's fanfiction - Avatar. I have other accounts - but it's old and embarressing. Don't judge too much on this one either, because I literally write each chapter in a week, but then it goes through 2 editors. So it's both not polished in some ways, but in terms of...

    Class of 2010: Eng Ext 2 Roll Call

    Hey, Emily here. Doing short story because I am actually very good at it, have been for quite a while. I write stories in my spare time (which I'm running out of these days lol) which I post on the internet. My most current one (multi-chaptered) has 13000 readers approx. Plus, our teacher...

    Belonging Thesis

    All I have to say is this: don't have a thesis that included the words "self" or "identity" or both. We're doing our assessment (speeches) this week at my school... and I am hearing this from every SINGLE person (and trust me, it does not related at all to the question we were given - I'm...

    Atheism - Discussion thread

    I was for a while an agnostic Agnostic - (theist - ie, believes in the existances or a higher or linking being/force - "fence sitter") Atheist - anti-theist - there is no higher/linking being or force, and rejects the idea. I've been exposed to Christianity and Hinduism, and have read parts of...

    Free ebooks and online texts

    There are devices such as these that (while not available in stores in Aus, can be bought online) that act very much like a personal, portable library contained in one book - there is a single screen that displays the page. They don't use back-lit screens, but a special technology called...

    The "I'm Fat" Friend - annoying!

    I'm sure we've all heard someone say "I'm SOOOOOOOOOO fat!" but do you have a friend who is -skinny (or slimmer than you at least) -constantly saying they're fat I do. And it's is so annoying. I know my role is life is to make my friends look good (as the token fat white girl in a group of...

    Shortlisted for Young Writers Showcase

    Riverside Girls are generally seen as a bit loose, in all terms of the word. And apparently there's a terrible clique/bullying problem. That's what I've heard. I'm happy to be proven wrong - I know people who went there. How do you rank people who got the same mark? That doesn't seem to make...

    How many ASIANS do 4 Unit ENGLISH?

    Sorry, but I'm here to stop people being racist against themselves: Can you please stop calling yourselves "Asians". You've got citizenship, right? In my book, that's Australian. White white people have no more right to be here than our friends from Asia, so stop calling them "real aussies"...

    is taking 10 units stupid?

    I REALLY want to drop chem, but it means I'll only have 10 units for 2010 HSC. I do well in all my other subjects (within top ten) but chem is bad on so many levels for so many reasons. I can't take up Senior science because I'm doing Physics. But am I digging a hole by only doing 10 units...

    Odd question from a Yr 11 student.

    I wouldn't. On a personal note, I feel like it's cheating - yourself and others. Other than that, there are some things to consider: (Short) short stories, like yours, may not transpose into a greater length well. It may have worked so well because it was perfect. And once something's...

    is ext2 right for me? - year 11 student

    Depends. Obviously, as everyone else has said, we don't know you. But ... If you're good at researching, drawing conclusions, seeing similarities, and writing your ideas clearly and with sophistication, then yes. Remember you can't rely on creativity and talent alone in EE2. Despite what...

    girls doing physics

    Out of approx 50 students doing Physics in yr 11 at my school, there are ... seven girls ( I think). At least 2 will drop, probably more. More importantly, the question should be: Blonde girls doing physics? Thoughts? Walking in first class and the teacher kept glancing at me, as if he...

    Indonesian Students!!!

    There's this thing once a year for year 10 students at... I think it was at UNSW. Several schools went. Anybody here go to it in 2008? Actually it was good for my school because we were so pro compared to the other schools. We'd ask a question and they'd just go "Uh..." .Yes Very good for our...
