Everyone is celebrating that they can dump english for ever, i felt there needed to be a sympathy thread for those of us facing another 2 hrs opf creative and essays in the form of English Extension 1.

Any more in the same boat?


Me doing module A: genre
Revenge Tragedy

yep, extension for me as well. i hate advanced and love extension so i try to separate them. i treat them as entirely different subjects.the extension exam will be hard but we will get scaled. i'm doing genre: speculative fucking fiction. its not bad in terms of the essay but it is impossible to do a good creative sci-fi/fantasy piece in 1 hour.




i have legal tomorrow, a very very nice change.

yeah i've got my ext exam on monday (crime fiction) and then i can't burn my notes coz my sister will need them. But it feels good to put all my advanced notes in my folder and then shove them in a cupboard somewhere...

biggest anti-climax in the world.

everyone around me in the exam room: "hooray never have to do english again!"

me: "get fucked. i hate you all"

and im usually a very chirpy nice person.

cant wait to run over my postmodernism folder repeatedly with my car on the muddiest most pot-holey road i can find. should be fan-fucking-tastic. bring on extension 1, can't wait to see the binder snap.

however, ripping essay plans off my walls for journeys and modules was excellent pre-therapy... but sadly, much like a guy who has a problem with premature ejactulation being coupled with a girl who want to go at it for hours - all fun and games until theres nothing left :(

but needless to say, shredding my gwen whorewood collection of poems was deeply satisfying...

Revenge

Yes i 2 have the extension 1 curse upon me.
Module A: Genre: Revenge Tragedy
I have this urge to write a creative on getting revene on the board of studies.
I get now why people always make their creative writing about their hsc, its cos theres nothing else going through your mind...other than the caffiene :|
:) enjoy the rest of your exams and good luck!!!!

Yes. I'd just like to vent some spleen.

Extension 1

Extension one is the worst subject I have seen since year 10 commerce. We got so bored we played 2up with a pencil case.
This load of rubbish that they call a subject (I do the individual and society and I'm male, can you tell?) eats proverbial... no, real dick.
In year 11 semester 1 I got 40%. Thats the first exam I'd ever failed. Ridiculous.
I swear, if I ever so much as hear anything mentioned about the individual in the nineteenth-god-damn-century, heads will roll.

Extension 2

Extension 2 is my love child. No exams, and it was all forgotten about in August. That has got to be the sweetest type of subject. I left it all until the last month, and the logbook until the last two nights. Then I did "extreme logbook" which involved tossing it from high places and running it over with wheely bins to simulate Tender Loving Care. I love extension 2.

Yeah, thanks for your time.

Damn Extension.

Is it too late to drop? This euphoric "No English!" mood is taking over me... :D

thats exactly what i do. english advanced is so ridiculous, i really really hate it (except for the RAGAD and Hamlet Module)..its so boring and irritating...but ext 1 is great. im really not worried about the exam either because i think they are generally a lot nice than advanced papers. plus, weve been working all year on the once topic area, whereas in adv we have to do 4 different areas..so really we should all be fine.

adv = death
ext = brilliance

Nah, I enjoy extension...probs because i'm studying something I like, rather than something I'm being forced to study

I'm doing Genre (Spec Fic), and I love it; I find it heaps easier and far more interesting than Advanced...

Yeh I totally agree with you on Extension 2...but man it'd be sweet if they did it like maths, where 4unit students dont sit the 2unit exam...

The funny thing is, my major work is supposed to be all serious and factual, so as it turns out, my logbook is more a work of fiction than the major work...
