true. and i can already see accounting and commercial law being as dry as it gets.

im thinking of doing ENGL1020 - Literary Mythologies

im probably better at english than art.

 

[spin spin sugar]

yeah that sounds pretty cool. what texts do you study?

 

[absolution*]

This is what it says on the site...

"According to Roland Barthes, 'mythologies' are the stories which societies tell about themselves. As we study a selection of medieval and Renaissance drama and romance, we will identify and articulate some of the 'mythologies' through which early English society defined itself, with particular reference to negotiations between individual behaviour and social order. You will be introduced to key critical terms such as intertextuality, denotation and connotation, and point of view, and acquire widely applicable skills in reading and analysis."

"Textbooks: William Shakespeare, Much Ado about Nothing (World's Classics) Resource Book (available from the University Copy Centre)"


Gah. I dont know what to do. Art History seems sooooo much more bludgy. Yet, English is probably more helpful.

I guess i have to contemplate whether i want to further my studies in english or not. Im thinking not since ill be doing 3 majors already. I doubt ill have time or enough credit points to fit in many english subjects when it comes to the interesting stuff 2nd year/3rd year ala Shakespeare/Victorian Literature etc.

 

[spin spin sugar]

i know what you mean, i had the same dilemma last yr because i enjoyed doing extension english so much, both 1 and 2, and i wanted to keep going on with that, but i guess i've given up. you can still read in yr own time, and write, and you'll find some of the subj's will probably still allow you to think creatively even if you dont expect them to. .... maybe not accounting tho.

 

[absolution*]

so what has drawn you to classical mythology?

 

[spin spin sugar]

i actually saw someone mention it on here, and cos i used to do latin yr 7 - 10, i already know a bit about classical myths. i dunno, it seemed easy and cool and i really just wanted something totally different to break up my other subjects.

have you got any friends going to usyd or anything?

have you got any friends going to usyd or anything?

um, my friends either dropped out, are gigging musicians, studying sound and audio engineering at tafe, studying photography at tafe or are professional pot smoking bums.

i know a few people who are doing law and advanced science, i wouldnt really consider them friends though.

im a lonesome nigel.

 

[spin spin sugar]

SAME!!! i'm a bit scared, esp. cos im an old person who didnt finish yr 12 last yr

at the same time though, because of liberal studies, we will be doing majors first year, whilst most economics and commerce kiddies have to do pre-reqs first year then majors 2nd and 3rd years. so i doubt youll feel too out of place.

and we can be buddies.

 

[spin spin sugar]

you have to send me a pic so i can find you!

 

[absolution*]

gah. no way. id probably be doing something stupid when you find me.
then again, if you recognise me from my avatar, i suppose i cant really stop you. thankfully, its an old, dodgy pic.

ill find you.

 

[spin spin sugar]
