Romanticism :mad1: gah! it's so hideous!

Wat about you?
Oooh, my sister's doing Romanticism. I wouldn't have chosen Ext. English if I were forced to do it. I can't stand Pride and Prejudice (unless it's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies)

I'm doing Crime Writing. I wish (to the max) that I was doing sci fi.

I agree! In chem there is soo much to remember!! It's actually a matter of luck - i.e. what questions they're gonna ask. I hate the acids/bases module!!

Also freaked out for 2u maths =/

But you still need to be able to analyse the questions during reading time and develop a virtual extended response ready in your head.

I'm doing romanticism and think its awesome...we're mostly focusing on philisophical (nature spirit etc) as opposed to Pride and Predujice analyse which makes it far more interesting and intellectual than the other ext topics.

But our teacher says the topic is better for boys as we don't focus on emotional conponents while all the girl schools are forced to do it.

Coleridge woo!

But yeah my most feared exam is modern history...so much to write in so short a time period....

English.

I'm so slow at writing... hopefully that will be cured through practice essays in the two weeks of stuvac.
