Advanced English - Because I like words.

Studies of Religion II - We have to study religion at my school, but I'd pick it if we didn't have to anyway.... I really like studying religion.

Ancient History - I couldn't get Society + Culture and it was all left that I had any interest in.... it's not too bad though, it's always interesting.

Visual Arts - I love art more than anything and wouldn't be without it.

Design and Technology - I'm interested in design (furniture, object, interior, architecture) and really enjoy the practical work.

I also do Visual Design and Photography this year, 1unit prelim courses.

I'm going to do this even tho i'm at uni now.

Music 2 - because I love it

Music Extension - because I breathe it

Visual Arts - because I get straight A's effortlessly and my teacher thinks I'm fantastic! (until that FRIKIN LAST ASSESSMENT when he lost faith in my majorwork and after straight A's, gave me a 71 cuz he predicted i couldnt get higher than 70. I GOT 91 YOU STUPID ART TEACHER!)

Earth & Environmental Science - cuz i thought it was easy. Apparently not. So I had to climb my way through stuff I didn't want to know about. But I got a band 5 in the end :)

English Advanced - cuz it's compulsary in the hsc, as well as to do extensions

English Extension 1 - cuz I need to it to do Extension 2. Got E3 though.

English Extension 2 - Cuz I was DAMN PASSIONATE BABEH! E4!!! BOOYEAH!!!

English Advanced - 'Twas suggested I not do extension English. Decided I'd acquiesce and simply prove them wrong by beating all the extension students at Advanced.
Chemistry - It's fun, interesting and I plan to do it at uni.
Software D & D - A mistake. Should have chosen biology instead. DO NOT CHOOSE SDD.
Extension 2 Mathematics - Because maths is beautiful and all around us.

4 maths: because maths is cool
4 English: because writing is even better
(but 3U English is occasionally garble, and 2U always is...)
Mod History, because the Nazis are the best, History Ext. because I like to watch the post-mod/post-structuralist pansies die.
SOR as a filler.

Damn HSC science is retarded; I'm an avid reader of New Scientist and when I was younger I used to get so excited over all things technological, but the physics and chemistry courses (the former in particular) are the most retarded pseudo-humanities creations to ever grace the planet.
I don't know how you people can like it :p

alot of ppl believe that english adv scales better than general, but most of the ppl believe that english adv and standard scale the same - who the hell cares about scaling if your a good student (u should not rely on scalling)

Chemistry is nowhere near as packed with garbage as physics. But it doesn't avoid that fate completely, no.

english advanced: because couldn't take the teacher in english extension though she is also my advanced teacher as well. she would have marked me down anyway. and plus i sort of like english.

maths advnaced: i had to do this to get into extension.
maths extension: thought i could handle it, but obviously i can't wiht my poor marks. though advanced wouldn't ahve provided me with a challenge.

legal studies: i love doing this subject :p

ancient history: love my history, and seems easy. and needed this subject to have a choice of doing history extension.
history extension: mainly because i dropped english extension and needed an extension to keep 12 units. plus i love my history.

chemistry: i hate this subject, but i don't want to be left on 10 units. so meh.

english (standard) - if this wasn't compulsory, i wouldn't be doing it
maths (2u) - it's useful i guess...
chemistry - best science subject
modern history - i love history, esp. modern
legal studies - i thought it would be good when i chose it, it isn't living up to my expectations
accouting - it gives me free periods, why else would you do it?

see, when you enter the senior school you learn how to read a question properly. this is hoped that later in life it would be applied.

see the difference between the junoir school and the senior school is this; you can bullshit in the junior school without answering the question. but you have to answer the question when you bullshit in the senior years.
