Still haven't checked my results - blissful ignorance.

I'm not sure why I'm treating C&H as LC Forum #2 but I'm gonna say that all this talk of the exams being made less predictable is scaring me. Geography was awful by the sounds of things so maybe the SEC are actually doing this. I mean, I know them being too predictable is probably bad and I'd have been all for actually applying your knowledge in the past but the thought of q1 on Chemistry not being a titration or q1 in Accounting not being a final account is rather unsettling tbh.

Also SO TIRED. Need it to be tomorrow night so I can relax blissfully for a whole thirty-six hours. Need sleep.

You don't have to force appreciation of a poet. Usually, questions are worded so that you can either agree or disagree with them. So if a question came up saying "Derek Mahon's style is epic lols. Discuss yo'." you'd get as many marks for arguing that his subject matter is out of touch, disinteresting to today's youth, etc than you would for arguing the opposite. People don't realise that if you can back up your argument they have to give you marks, even if it's against the popular view.

Argh: I can't remember the last time I've actually had an intelligent conversation with a real person. I think I'm going insane.

I do realise that mahn, it's just so much easier to study a poet when you actually like them. That's where the Plath bandwagon came out of in my opinion.

I don't know will the changes be that drastic...like for accounting, it would be more like if a Manufacturing Account usually comes up every 3 years, now you'd be less sure that it would stick to that "rule" and instead might come up 2 years in a row.

Not even going to entertain the possibility of Hopkins being decent though, his poems have names like 'God's Grandeur' and 'Thou art indeed just, Lord, if I contend'. Oh but wait, he also has a poem called 'I wake and feel the fell of dark, not day'. That sounds wonderfully depressing!

I don't think I've ever seen a poet as depressed as Hopkins. In one poem he's praising the beauty of spring, then he's cursing the human race and then he's practically suicidal....downward spiral tbh.
We have only done him and Bishop to be fair but still give me her "Filling Station" any day. I've only ever done one Plath poem but I still have major love for her and seeing as she didn't come up this year we'll definately be doing her (according to the teacher anyway)

Ever read Kavanagh? He was the original angsty bastard. If C+H was around in those days, he'd have been posting in argh more than me. :pac:

Aoifey!

How could I have done this to a person?!

I really need to get a job as a writer or artist or something, this whole 'using your body for movement' thing really isn't my bag, baby.

I preferred angsty Kavanagh to his 'Oh look at that lovely stick!' phase tbh. I called parts of Lines Written on A Seat childish in my paper 2 essay, lolz.

One line to justify everything I've written since I first read that poem.

I had 1 hour sleep last night. Not being able to sleep for hours is fun. 10 hours of work now is even more fun.../o\

I had my first, college-related "I'm a failure" dream of the year last night. (Hoping that use of bad phrasing is not indicative of my dream coming true). And so it begins.

Teacher of mine from a few years back died today after having been ill for a few years.

Hadn't heard of his health situation for a while, my friend was asking me whether I had heard anything about him just last week. Bit of a shock.

I had a parcel waiting for me in the post office and the rain had stopped, so I thought, sure we'll get the bike out, it's not raining.

Two minutes out the door it POURED, and continued to pour. 5km there and 5km back.

And then typically, as soon as you got back, it stopped raining.
