i dont like the way english is in school..i hate it how there is a right and wrong way to interprate (spelling!?) passages..i usually get the toally wrong idea and its not what the fucking exam board is looking for. i'm only doing int 2 this year then higher in the next year..can not wait.. i do think its good to spread it over 2 years tho.. you end up knowing a wee bit more than the higher folk

i didn't, i still do worse that the 5th years despite getting an A at int2 last year!

i just remember talking with higher folk about english and some stuff i was mentioning they didnt know but they must be shit too.

my timing is crap gor these essays.. i am shit at putting my words together to make a good sentence.. hmm.

Thats intense, and kinda weird as in 'infant masturbation' weird.

erm, not sure about the last bit, but im really enjoying english lit at uni *with the exception of my exam yesterday* really interesting, much more so than at higher! on top of that all my lecturers are sex obssessed and look for sexual meaning in EVERYTHING!

for higher i did The Cone Gatherers and Othello, think i managed to avoid doing any poetry, hate(d) the bloody stuff, still causes me much ado about nothing.

ahhh, see what i did there?

sorry

see, i'm finding it solid to remember quotes for the cone gatherers, but i can do it ok for r+j and my poems, as they have some structure. it just seems harder learning quotes out of a novel.

PS: erm, all who are doing this... we'll be in it 48 hours from now...

Yeah not long now, so I've got tommorow to revise Glasgow 5 March 1971, Death of a Salesman, The Whole Town's Sleeping, and maybe one other, but i'm not even gonna try and learn everything we've been given, shall just hope that a couple of relevant questions come up so that i don't have to answer with smeddum or death of a naturalist cos they're pish.

Rebelius · 11th May 2005, 07:23 PM
