Without a doubt. I want to learn more applicable things not literature studies, I can read books in my spare time if I wanted to do that and google up stuff if I was interested.

I don't really want to think about it, you've just gotta do what you've gotta do I suppose

Yes - because I hate it
will I really? Probably not because it's pretty decent for a subject where the only thing you need to do is write essays (which doesn't take a year to do, lol)

It's probably not as bad as a lot of people make it out to be, but I do hate that the marks received don't always (kind of never) reflect the amount of effort put into the subject.
I'd probably drop it if I could. Especially Advanced English (fml)

I wouldn't drop it. Not saying this because I enjoyed it but it helps quite a bit when you get uni in other areas.

Fkk yes I would. Half the people get their tutors to write their essays or whatev and you gotta compete with that. That's just retarded.

No. But I do disagree with the exam structure of English. 3 essays in a row? Yeah right. Creative writings? Haha. Need more discussion panels that actually require critical thinking.

English is great. You'll have fun if you have a good teacher. But BoS goes about it in the wrong way.
