They are all tradesmen apprentices. They like the pub :/ and Rsl's

Sux that's why i can't wait till i meet more people. Hopefully in Uni D:D:D:D:D
hahahaha yeahh I guess.
Pubs are sort of dodgy... I'd rather go somewhere to rave a lil. There's too many old-creepy-guy hang outs around here :(
Ahh well :)

What do you wanna do at uni?

yeah ahahaha. I think catholic schools cause a sincere LACK of religious adherence though :S.

I've always found the Aussie school system bizarre with this UAI thing.

That was an amazing exam

Wrote an extra booklet for question 3 in section 1

24 pages every other section.

Slaughtered it. I feel so pumped for the rest of this week.
=D
Me too (wrote an extra for Section 1)
All these obscure facts came back to me and fit the Q perfectly!
Not sure how many pages I wrote for each section, didn't exactly count. It never seems to matter anyway. You can get 25 for an essay and write 6 pages, or you can get 25 and write 14.
But that's so good you did well! I feel I did too. Band 6 easy. Teachers are arguing state ranking, but we'll see. ha. We've had people in the past come top in the state and in the top 10 and they say, "We can pick it"...But they didn't read my answers. For all we know they could mark exceptionally hard this year by judging the Qs to be easy.
By the way does anyone know the approx raw band cutoffs for Mod last year? Past markers? cem? WithoutWings?
:)

LOL good reason!! my dad tells me he got into computing because of the flashing lights :S

I want to do journalism... because I have a massive ego and want to see my name in print ... kidding :p That or media and production, so like film editing and directing... such a dream!

Uni bars though... possibly a good alternative!

Re: How was modern Exam?

what was the last Core question, who can remember?

i have a bad feeling i misread it in the exam so am worried i majorly screwed up the content part of the Core Question....

i thought it said a historian studying changing attitudes on the home front in Britian and Germany over time and varying attitudes in britian and germany

Ahahaha just the fifth is good for me.... and for that night to go on FOREVER =D

You know I think I'm actually more worried about doing bad in terms of telling people and letting my parents be disappointed than because of it being some 'career ruining' thing :S

Ahhh ok... possible relationship with her? Sorry I love gossip even when I know no1 :)

LOL looking at your internal ranks. it's pretty hard to be disappointed by your marks even if you don't produce the same standards in the HSC.

Your in a safehouse, i normally call it.

Possible, yes but i have a weird act of ignoring people.
