i like x1 more, but it still doesn't mean i'm not gonna hate writing heaps in time limits. i do indiv. in society, which i have liked, but nah, i really wish it was over now. :) anyway, only 2 exams left! i can't wait! 7 sleeps! :) then i'm leaving boarding school for ever!

I also agree with what someone said about x2 english, it's so nice that it was finished so long ago :) i forget about how good that is... *sigh*

omg i hate ext too

here i was thinking it was only me, loz and coo (yes thats right 3 girls in my WHOLE class) who loathed extension... but it wasn't! woohoo
maybe its pre-requisit to hate ext??? cos i sure damn hate the biatch. stupid 19th century ppl...seriously who cares if elizabeth bennett and mr darcy get married? F*cked if i do.
all you people who like extension english disgust me and the only reason why i picked it was cos i didn't wanna do business studied or food tech or ext maths:(
and im so cut cos my stupid ext classes were held off line which meant i had to go to school earlier...and my school starts at 8.15 am so that mean 7.30:(
stupid extension

^completely agree

I got bloody scared with english adv asking for three poems so I am closely studying all three of my crime fiction prescribed texts.

1. Big Sleep
2. Skull beneath the shit
3. Real Inspector hound
Yeah, that has freaked me out too. Especially considering i've used most of my Skull notes as cheap carpet (what a shit text?). Anil's and Hound are good value though.

What are people using for additionals?

lol ... it worries me that you don't want to study for it - there's only a couple of days. Put Extension 1 on Monday and Ancient History on Tuesday (which is myself personally) ... that's when you have a recipe for sleepless nights :)

Try Ext 1 monday, ancient tuesday, and modern wednesday, plus bloody daylight savings screwing with my body clock tonight. Having not been able to sleep this week thats just passed, with no exams on, I can pretty much guarantee that I'm going to be one tired chook come thursday night.

Oh and if it makes everyone feel any better, I still haven't read my second related text--hoping they only ask for one, or I have read enough to bullshit the rest.

Skull beneath the shit...is indeed shit...I fell asleep reading it too many times. Yeah Anils Ghost is great cause its got a fair bit you can write about (all that contextual stuff and how that illuminates generic distinction blah blah). Hound is also good...cause you basically talk about one major technique, and a few minor ones...oh yeah and its a fun read if you do it as a class.

additional texts..hmm..got a few actually...Harry Lavender is good. Also Agatha Christi is a bitch, her texts are crap. Aurthur Conan Doyle has a few good ones- few which I have read. My tip: Have a really old one (like Agatha or Doyle) and a contemporary one (like Harry lavender) it gives your essay another dimension.

Meh, older crime texts make me want to kill things. I find talking about them in an essay so boring, they draw in the whole history of the genre (as you mentioned, another dimension) but do so in such a tedious manner. I use The Maltese Falcon, which is fun/easy to discuss and not too old, as well as Law & Order: SVU. I'm worried about my additionals though, need to find some more.

Has any one considered using a series of shorter texts for their related material? I'm using (for Postmodernism) Run Lola Run directed by Tom Tykwer, Shipboard Girl (artwork) by Roy Lichtenstein, Donald Barthelme's short story "Rebecca," and the website "Ebbflux: Machine Text... A Hypertext Fiction" (www.ebbflux.com)
