i got 27 for GP and 28 for IP, so not much difference between them. i have no idea about other people, mainly because my class is insanely competitive and i dont like to join in the mark-swapping.
no one else in the class got an onstage nom, which i personally thought was a little strange, as there were others that i thought were very original and deserving, but i guess the markers are the ones that choose and it all comes down to personal preference.
and you really shouldnt feel satisfied if other people go badly. you all worked very hard and it would be extremely distressing for a person to make a mistake in their performance, only made worse by others willing them to fuck it up. i know that you dont really mean that, it just makes me angry to see such bitter competitiveness amongst young people, especially when we are not even in any variety of job.
for my trial essays i got 19/20 for both brecht and aussie, which was pretty cool considering i worked really hard at it, and essays arent usually my strong point.
