The Dark Ages of Me.

Nov 08, 2005 16:19

I'm currently in the middle of my English take-home exam... actually it's kinda stupid to call it an 'exam' when we have 3 days to do it (and access to as much coffee as we can afford), but I'm still ticked-off (at least as ticked as my numb psyche can manage) 'cause I've *literally* been stitting at this desk for 3 days straight now, and I just ( Read more... )

Heee! Don't feel bad man, I got the same *WOOOSH* sound when I first read them too, swifting followed by a loud *SOB*. :P

And actually, there is one question that's all Chaucerian, for people like you:

8. The fourteenth-century English poet Geoffrey Chaucer created a character we call the Wife of Bath who says: “Gentility is not just the renown / Of ancestors who have some greatness shown, / In which you have no portion of your own. / Your gentility comes from God alone.” To what purpose does any one text engage with this theme?

If ya wanna explain that one to me (or just write 500 words about it) then I'll throw you a postmodern feminist party. :P

Lmao! Ok, that's SOOOOO going in my exam (possibly paraphrased, but still) Of course, if I don't get an A+/HD then I'm gonna shoot you with carbon-fibre arrows instead of whatever fake moose the archery camp has set up. 'kay? ;P

Seeing as though it's a take-home exam, if i were you i'd have to restrain myself from taking it home and setting fire to it! That's Dark Age-y. Actually i have no idea...

Lol! SOOOOOO true... unfortunately they thought of that one too, the 'exam' is electronic... and while I could take pleasure from repeatedly dumping the questions in the recycle bin, there's always another one to take it's place... Ugh! Dark Age-y (or Terminator-y) indeed.

It scares me that those are your questions...That's just cruel!

And I feel your pain, I'm sitting here right now trying to get even to 1000words on this 2500 word essay due Monday, but I feel like crap, am tired, can't stop sneezing and have a million things for my kindy work to do *sigh* ....no wait *sob* :P

Repeat the mantra "it's almost over, it's almost over!"

Hee... thanks for the moral support, I was doin' the mantra earlier today, but after half an hour I started crying and almost threw my toaster at my microwave (lucky my desire for toast and reheated pizza stopped me). :P

Ugh... uni sucks! I guess we'll just have to prove that WE suck harder!

Wait... that came out wrong... ;) good luck anyway, I know you'll kick ass out there. :)
