I don't think they read the boards, dear.

Your 'fucks' are falling on deaf ears.


:(

im going to faiiiiiil


shit english literature tomorrow?

Jane Austen has her own subject devoted to her now?


basically

*cries

oh dear.

OH DEAR


HI FIVE

I fucking hate Austen.

I had my english lit exam on thursday. It went well. Good luck!


thank you!

:]


Uh oh spaghetti ohs!

Can't you just run over your classmate's house and photcopy their work?
Good luck.


:/

on the phone now trying to get down as many as i can.

did you know, janet todd thinks anne eliot is the most selfconcious of all austens heroines.

FUCK THIS


I did not know that :o

How did you manage to lose all your sheets? :(


i cleverly seperated them at schoool

so i could keep them seperate from the rest of my stuff...obviously i put them down when i was washing my coffee mug up and didnt think to pick them up again.

oh woe is me :)


Mine isn't till Tuesday.

I win.

I do have Luke's Gospel RE on Thursday though, which somewhat lessens the win..


did anyone else think

this was a gig?


no

wrong board.


Hai


a level yeah? the trick is just to get a few

very general critical quotations that you can shoehorn into lots of essays.

like, i had about five short ones for the shakespeare paper that i knew i could easily reference in lots of essays without too much worry. easy peasy. those exams are all about ticking boxes, so make the boxes easy to tick.


and its doubly good ones

if they're really crappy comments that you can disagree with, because then you are 'engaging' with them or something.


ooo this sounds good..

when you say short..are we talking one or two words or whole sentences?

a few days ago id have known what to do but panic is setting in and hence reason is flown the nest.

blah.


like shortish phrases.

as an example, there's a famous brooke quotation where he says that in the duchess of malfi 'human beings are writhing grubs in an immense night'. you can easily shoehorn something like that into a lot of essays because its easily linkable to lots of things. i mean, its a totally lame thing to do, because he said it like, a billion years ago, and its the kind of thing that my tutor at uni would kill me for doing in an essay because its all so pointless, but in a levels stuff like that doesn't really matter a whole lot, you really are just meeting criteria. it doesn't matter if you're like, quoting some a.c bradley thing and weighing into a fifty year old argument, all they care about is that you're showing an awareness of other critical readings.


well then

good

thank you :]
