    General Thoughts: Latin Continuers

    I thought that bit for the Virgil unseen just meant "Lavinia, the cause of all the trouble" i.e. because Turnus and Aeneas are fighting over her. For the shield question i talked about the exemplification of Roman virtues and connected them to patriotic/political motives as i went along. For...

    General Thoughts: Latin Continuers

    I thought it was pretty good... Translations were fine... commentaries were pretty predictable (Mettus to Manlius, come on), but i didn't really know what they were looking for in the question about Brutus' speech (part i) and I think i screwed up the Hercules and Cacus question... :hammer...

    Least Favourite Modules

    A... for me writing an In The Wild essay is always fighting a losing battle, getting the right balance between ideas, techniques, context, etc. Also BNW sucks. As for B (Yeats) and C (A+C) ... i quite like both lol

    General Thoughts: Japanese Continuers

    Lol, was that girl meant to sound drunk? I failed the Yakisoba competition one... the whole of the first reading, I thought it was like a Japanese popeye - he eats yakisoba TO BECOME a champion. WTF IS GOING ON??? Other than that it wasn't too bad, writing questions were pretty standard.

    Who's relying on the days between exams to study?

    Sort of... i haven't started studying for chem or latin ext yet (just latin cont and english as well as a bit of maths) so i suppose i'll be making extensive use of cramming between exams... there's about a week between 3U maths and chem, and then another week before latin ext.
