Guys, this is a bit off topic, but I don't know where else to ask this and don't think it's worthy of making a completely new post. For anyone doing English, does anyone know of an alternative way of saying 'appeal to hip pocket', because that phrasing is so over-used and it's seems odd when I write it.

The only thing I can think of is 'financial conscious' or something, but that again sounds strange. Sorry to interrupt.


Also ...

anyone neglecting there perceived 5th or 6th subject?

I keep claiming that all the 4 subjects I'm doing this year are in my bottom 2, and so I seem to be neglecting them equally.

Haha I wouldn't have done if we weren't working in a group of 3 

Haha trust you
It's good to have some backup from your friends so your can double/triple check everything you're doing I guess!

Best of luck to all of you who are participating!

Woo. I have three student free days coming soon! How about you guys?

I have district Xcountry and I think one other student free day, girls give themselves the last day of term off to get 'prepped' for the formal that night haha.

haha nah interrupting is fine !! You're right, yeah "financially conscious readers" sounds kinda clunky haha.
First thing that comes to my mind would be "Asian", but that's a bit stereotypical

Appeal to hip-pocket: By threatening readers’ financial wellbeing, the writer positions readers to feel as though they are unfairly being overcharged or ripped off.
You could paraphrase this, or you could talk about reader sell interest. Just write what fits best

Good call, good call

Thanks for that! 'Financial wellbeing' will definitely come in handy

Goodluck! So glad that hasn't happened to me so far. Max I've had in any given week is 2, but that's because I have only 4 subjects.

Good luck for x-country, my glory was back in primary school where I came 3rd in my district.
It's a hard sport, underrated to say the least

[abcdqdxD]

Has anyone had a wave of SACs yet? I have one now and I feel like I'm getting smashed in the face by SACs.. any advice on how to deal with this? :S

[vashappenin]

Yeah mine's been going since last week :S ends next week, but I've only got 3 sacs until then

[Lolly]

Thanks! Good luck to you as well! the pressure is not going to cool down anytime soon either, the week after that I have an English sac and my folio is due...

[Daenerys Targaryen]

Me me me!  are you doing it? 

yes!! TitrationTeam is going on my resume! haha i wish

[brenden]

Let's just  take a moment to hold our heads high and remember the poor souls present and past who decided to take a folio subject.
May the force be with you, Loll, you'll smash it .

Thanks man! Haha, I went from a couch potato to this, in a year so I'm pleased I got this far I've improved my 5k time to just over 25 minutes now which is something I didn't expect that I'll be capable of!

[Mr Keshy]

Turns out I can't do Cross Country because of a Chem excursion! 

I've only ever been chosen once in school and it had to be this year

[Stick]

I had my trial GAT today. lol

Does anyone else do these?
