Ok I am so not going to use any of the fonts or special items, still got to learn those things:) Sooo. I'm German and May 2009 Diploma Candidate. EE about 3000 words so not worrying about that. Maths Portfolio is more of the worrying thing. Oh. My subjects are Maths HL Economics HL English A2 HL French B HL German A1 SL Biology SL If you feel like there's no structure in what I'm writing, you're not alone. I really do hope IB survival is going to help me... Sometimes I feel like.. ok, not killing myself but I hate hate hate when I have tons of work and too little time. Probably bad management but we still have a life to live, right . See yo…

So, who's everyone supporting and why? More to the point, does anyone really even care? I can't decide whether I prefer the Liberals or NDP. So I need some convincing. I do, however, support the Green Party's bid for their first seat (or more?) in history. They deserve a voice in parliament too.

I'm participating in a local American Diabetes Association - Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes on September 27th and I was wondering if any of the people on IB Survival would like to sponsor my walk. Please visit the following website for more information on diabetes, the walk, and how to donate. Please donate and spread the word about this worthy cause because I'm trying to collect $500.

IB INSANE! 1 2

This is my question, how many of you think that IB has actually made you insane? I have to say that for me and most of my class, the answer is yes. I remember last year when we were taking the physics SL test, we started singing row, row, row your boat, in rounds. The proctor, who is our coordinator and TOK teacher, looked at us and said, "You people are scaring the hell out of me." And we all thought he was crazy.

Hello- here's my 2nd attempt: does anybody know the IB mark conversions into UAI for 2009 exams? i've heard rumours that the IB is lowering the marks so that we will be more equal with the HSC students... is this true? and secondly- how do you fing domain and range on a graphics calculator? (hopeless at technology.... sorry...)

All right, people. You've got 2 weeks to ask deissi any question you want. You can ask more than once but you can't ask more than 20 questions in one post and you have to wait until the interviewee has answered those 20 before asking again. Remember, the interviewee reserves the right not to answer a question. Interview closes on 08/09/08, after which no more question can be asked but deissi can answer any remaining question that is still unanswered. deissi will also get to choose the nominees for next round's interview. Have fun. -------- I can't think of an interesting title for your thread... but then that might be because my head is full of other stuff right now…

Please! All of this IB talk is reminding me of all the work that awaits and I don't entirely feel well! Let's talk about music to defer our minds from problems. It's nice and healthy. So, I'm into Folk, Folk-Rock. If you are too, then you'll probably like the following. Teitur is a nice little lad from the Faeroe Islands. He composes beautiful, relaxing, romantic music, and has a nice soothing voice. I don't want to refer you to his myspace because those aren't his best songs, but I will: click me If you're into this lovely winter spirit, Meaghan Smith, a Canadian from Hailifax will only add to the season.

Personally, I'm going to be doing physics over the summer because they couldn't fit it in my school schedule. So that practically eliminates anything for the first month. Then Aug. 8 , when summer school ends, I'm going go China and Taiwan to see relatives. Hopefully I'll get a chance to watch some events live at the Olympics and cheer for Canada... What are your plans?

For those of you who don't know one of the amazing contributors to the site is Renee (previously IBStuck). She had the nerve to go to the HMSChocolate and ask for a change in username and by doing so she utterly coufused the masses (including myself). The purpose of this topic is simple and self explanatory. If you fell victim to the username change of IBStuck, well then simply state that (and how it made your life more difficult and impossible to live if you feel so inclined.)

Something I found quite intriguing is that when I study for memory I am able to retain knowledge best when I go over information in my head during times when I'm not engaged in mental activity (i.e. riding the bus to and from school, cleaning my room,eating, at church... just kidding about church) I have found that when I maximize my brain's resources during times when it would otherwise be inactive I actually remember information better when it comes time to use it (i.e. tests and quizzes) as oppose to the old fashion way of sitting down and studying a subject for an hour or two and then never thinking about what you've studied after you're done. Because of this realiza…

Hello! I have had this "problem" with my mac messenger for a while, and as I cannot seem to find any online help on this matter (and none of my friends are Mac users), the best solution I could come up with was to ask you guys. The problem is that when I log in to messenger, I am logged in directly, i.e. I don't write my password or anything, and the problem with this is that I am always logged in as 'online', and I'd prefer to log in as offline, therefore I need to find the button where you can choose your login status. Where do I find this damn button, guys?! I put my trust in you.

Has anyone taken this stuff before? Supposedly it helps with remember things and actually ,according to my math teacher, has been proven to help raise marks in school. I use to take it awhile ago everyday until I noticed that I was getting light headed so I decided to stop taking them. Recently I started to take them again but every other day. Apparently it thins outs your blood so it lowers your blood pressure. Has anyone else had experiences with this stuff?
