Class of 2014! :D

Okay, seriously, why isn't my chemistry study helping? I've done 14 chemistry exams and it haven't improved my marks at all. I'm seriously concerned and beginning to think studying isn't worth it.

Focus on what your areas of weakness are, not the marks you score on practice exams.

Random question but in a language analysis, are we allowed to use "us"? e.g Lee targets us to.... ?
Because in the 2010 assesors report, the upper range response used "us" so im a bit confused

I've been told to steer away from that and say the audience/readers instead of us.

There are no rules in English. I suppose you may disrupt the sophistication if you do, but sometimes it just works. I love using readership, or in a speech audience, viewers, attendees.

Tomorrow is not only the english exam but also my 18th birthday... it is definitely going to be crazy lol   
I'll be spending my hours of freedom confined in an examination room! All will be well - I know for sure that I'll be in a good mood hahah

talk about a rite of passage

people who are doing identity and belonging - what are you using for your supplementary texts?

[Aairx]

Context is going to kill me.

Sorry about the stress-post. I'm going to have a big milo and go over my areas of weakness now, thanks Yacoub

I'm not using texts, but I'm using examples of different Aboriginal people and their experiences

I'm feeling pretty tired now. I just did a further paper.
I was going to do a bio paper too but I think I might just chill out and watch old Offspring episodes, haha.

omfg I swear so many people are doing Aboriginal identity, I'm really worried that by the time the assessors get to my piece they'll be all 'oh great yet another exploration of the relationship between land, cultural identity and belonging' :/ Does yours incorporate the homelands movements/the government's policy towards Indigenous communities, because if it does I think I'll cry

The Mind of a Thief basically details exactly this anyway so the moment that you speak about Aboriginals etc you'll be competing with kids doing Mind. In a way.

Haha no it doesn't! I mean, sometimes I talk about the Stolen Generations and stuff, but I also talk about the traditional art, Nicky Winmar, Adam Goodes and Nova Peris.
