J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye. I had to read it for my Yr 10 English class and hated it beyond belief. And Holden Caulfield is surely the most annoying and stupid protagonist of a story. Godamn phony. And count me in in hating Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre. It was just so. slow. And...

I've tried re-reading the book but I still find myself rolling my eyes or trying not to cry out in despair because it angers me so much. Some of the stuff in this book honestly reads like bad fanfic! The first time I read it (on July 16th), I just kept hoping that it would get better but to no...

My friend next to me left early but I'm not sure if anyone else left. I couldn't believe it - I actually ran out of time in the exam! Ah well. At least it's over.

For Section 3, I wrote about Political Revolution in Rome 133-78 BC and did the Sulla question. Of course, I had no idea what I was talking about so I wrote a booklet on absolute shit all. Anyhow. I did the Sparta essay for the next section, and the question was really broad. How many pages...

If I get anywhere near an 85, I'll cry in relief. i.e. I definitely have to get a band 5 or above. I utterly failed Crime because I had no idea what the hell c) was about and subsequently didn't finish the 12-marker. I'll probably get really, really shit though. Goddammit! I need Legal to count.

It's a prescribed text at your school? I'm jealous. Restless isn't a bad text for the imaginative journey. You just have to emphasise the themes and techniques, of which there are a-plenty. The intertextual reference to "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe", the whole dream aspect and the...

I find that's mostly the case with our grade as well. Everyone more or less gets along with one another, and that contributes towards a friendlier environment that's easier to work in. I have no doubt that Anna will reach her 100 U.A.I. goal. That girl works way hard and deserves everything...

I regret doing Maths, so much. I only kept it to please my parents and I've done so badly in it. I wish I had dropped it and devoted more time to History Extension and all of my other subjects, because they suffered as a direct result of my doing Maths. Bloody hell.

I just think The O.C. is the better Dawson's Creek and the teen Melrose Place or something. That being said, Mischa Barton isn't any better than Katie Holmes. Argh. I sometimes question why I even watch this show. Heh. I skipped a few of the mid-season episodes because the Oliver storyline...

"Super-Duper Love" by Joss Stone. This is the song with the lyrics of "yeah, are you diggin' on me? i'm diggin on you now baby...", right? It's from her first album The Soul Sessions. Love it. :D

Colin is indeed a sex god, seeing him in P&P and in BJD/EOR never ceases to amaze me. Mmmm. [/shallow] Hee. I'd love to buy this DVD but unfortunately $60 is currently too dear for me. Fortunately, I managed to tape all of the episodes when it re-aired earlier this year. I was kicking myself...

Glycerine, I was rec'd to read your critical response by a friend who had even printed it out because she was so impressed by it and I must say that I agree with her; it was an incredible piece of writing. As a fellow Buffy fan, I applaud your insight into the themes and issues addressed that...

I picked up History Extension and dropped Modern History, thank God. I hated Modern with a passion, that class was so damn boring!
