NASA launched spaceship Endeavour Friday night at 7:55pm EST and I was in Cape Canaveral, Florida to see it! It certainly did give me perspective looking out several thousand miles, seeing the ball of light called Endeavour slowly evaporate into outer space. We all bade the seven NASA astronauts "safe travels" and "come home safe"...those were the uniform wishes from all those gathered.

This mission is to perform "home improvements" to the space station, to make it more spacious and also to add various recycling systems, especially the one that will turn astronaut urine into safe drinking water. (They stopped short of saying it'll also turn turds into protein bars, but hey, you never know!)

Routine maintenance is necessary, even in space. So, I took this as an opportunity to access my life as to where some maintenance or repair is necessary in my sphere, my life, and I invite you to join me in the exercise.

Do we have areas that need updating like our skillsets or expanding our vocabularies? I'm expanding my knowledge horizons, making more room for information and strategies and at the same time, reading more history so I don't repeat mistakes made by our foremothers and fathers. Exciting stuff indeed! Join me, won't you?

Doing well in HSC sciences requires a slightly different approach than HSC maths or English subjects. HSC sciences, like Chemistry, Physics and Biology, place a heavy focus on the syllabus. Detailed knowledge and familiarisation of the syllabus is very important.
First we should say: do NOT cram if you have a choice. We do not recommend cramming as a sole solution to the HSC, as cramming definitely underperforms consistent study in the long run. However in life, unforeseen events happen and you may find yourself in a situation where you have only a few days, or even just 1 day, before a major exam.
HSC Physics can be one of the most rewarding HSC subjects that is widely and commonly available across schools in NSW. HSC Physics tends to appeal to students with an interest for quantitative subjects like mathematics. In fact, if one is to try to define physics, it would be applied 2 unit maths. The mathematics in physics is certainly not difficult, but the problems in Physics are structured in terms of real-world applications.
