Just out of curiosity here guys! I'm not talking about "Magic: The Gathering". No, I mean like sleight of hand, The Prestige, David Copperfield, Sam Powers etc. Does anyone practice this subtle art of magic as a hobby?

3.30 minutes is hardly anything... probably 400 - 500 words?

I know, aye! When I zone out in class, my mind drifts to EE2 stuff as well. Like, I'd be imagining playing back the lesson out of narrative sequence (Memento/Following style). It's pretty trippy.

Hey all! Subjects are in my signature and let's have a good HSC!

Yeah, sure. Do what floats your boat. You have 1400 words though, so i would really be slashing and culling that speech. Look through it and keep your strongest points and just lose the others. Or otherwise, try and keep it as concise as possible. The focus is on Romulus and your criticism of...

Hey! Considering that I've been a maths guy all my life, I'd never imagine myself doing this course. But, yeah I'm doing a critical analysis and I've got my idea down pat (I hope). Although, I'm SLIGHTLY worrying at the moment because my school has set the viva-voce due for next Monday (yikes!)...

A 5 min speech in my experience is about 750 - 800 words in my experience. Then again, that's the pace of how I speak. If you spoke fast, you might be able to cram in 900 words. Definitely don't go for over 1000 words. I've got pretty reasonable marks for 5 min speeches too. ( 17/20, 13/15)

I think I did pretty well in all my subjects. Ranked pretty well too. English Adv. - 30/30 - Tied 1st :D English Ext. 1 - 16/20 ;) Chemistry - 62.5/75 - 8th :D Maths Ext. 1 - 51.5/62 - 5th :( Japanese Continuers - 40.5/45 - 1st? :confused: Physics - 52.5/75 - 20-somethingth? :( Oh well...

Dropped Physics Picking up Ext. 2 Maths and Ext. 2 English. Gah, I hope it doesn't kill me.

Doing both extensions is possible. I did both for this year and scored pretty decent-good marks in both. But, I will tell you now that doing both extensions with 14 units is going to kill you. I tried doing what you did (14 units with both extensions) but sooner or later, some of your subjects...

Hey Oscar! No, I didn't go to the final assembly today. But, I heard it was pretty sad though. I heard Rex was crying and it was pretty touching or something like that. :( Anyway, yeah I'm looking forward to holidays. Checked your profile, and congratulations for making it into the Physics...

Definitely do some writing and practice speaking. You seem to have got your listening and reading down pat, but you remember and understand it more when you actually apply it. Write some letters in Japanese to an imaginary pen friend in Japan or diary entries fully in Japanese. Better yet, get...

Scaling wise, Physics. However, you gotta actually like the course you pick. Physics is mostly about forces, electricity,waves etc. Biology is about ecologies, Evolution, cells etc. However Physics is a much more mathematics based course, so if you're good at maths, Physics should be easier.

Koray, you're the one who told me sign up here. Why are you so surprised?

Japanese Continuers you say? Well, it's a pretty decent course. If you love the subject, then great! Much more emphasis is placed on vocabulary and kanji (that's what I felt anyways). I would not recommend taking up Japanese Extension. I don't do it, but from what my Japanese teacher has been...

Some people don't have a choice. My school only offers Advanced English.

Haha, well I'm doing Physics as well. It completely kicks ass compared to the syllabus. My teacher goes pretty fast through the stuff but it's awesome.

Bah... Asians these days. Seriously, what is wrong with Mahjong? It's a flipping awesome game! If you watch any of the old Hong Kong movies, you can see the supreme tact required in the game. Better than any DotA.
