Last exam..

but not the less difficult

Argumentation was so hard that I almost decided to just give a blank page but I thought that I could get some points out of it so I answered to every question even though I didn't know the answer or what it meant. I'll see pehaps I'll get more than 1/40 (I know I have at least one ansswer right out of 40)
Phonetics was a bit difficult too but I think I did better because I had a good teacher. Nevertheless I'm not sure I'll have all the correct answers as I hate phonetics in English and think it's useless: if you want to get the right ntonation or accent, you just have to go to the country or watch lots of moves/series in English to pick up on what the actors say.

L2: Literature or Civilisation.... And it will be.. tada: Civilisation!

Par * t R i S h *, Jeudi 11 Janvier 2007 à 12:36 GMT+2 dans my studies

The Stuarts

    Oh no! I studied less for civilisation than for literature
    Both subject (commentary or dissertation) were on the Stuarts, the period I don't like so much. Well I don't like the whole period so much but I know more about the Tudors, especially Henry VIII and his 6 wives lol
    I did the dissertation and I just found out I put some good stuff in it but my ideas are not so well organized and I didn't use enough knowledge. I just hope I'll get a 4 or a 6.

I put the right name for the King (yes!), the right name for the Puritan (yes!), gave some clues about what happened but I forgot to mention the Civil War, which was the name required I suppose. Shit! lol Anyway, I'll see...

First exam: litterature -> Maggie a Girl of the Streets

Maggie, a Girl of the Streets

     OH MY GOSH!!

    I didn't expect that at all: the only teacher who talked about the exam was the one for Dickens but in a way, the class of Maggie was soooo bad that I can only guess he did that on purpose (he's at the head of the UFR btw) because we were so bored we didn't really participate and listen to what he said which was only reading the book going from chapter to chapter, giving examples of other books, having blank of at lest each time 5 minutes (the real 5 minutes, not the ones you say when someone's waiting for you) because he didn't know what to say. To sum up: a super duper boring class where we didn't learn anything about the novel that could help us for a commentary or dissertation.
    We'll see but I don't expect a good mark on this one..

No civilisation finally

Par * t R i S h *, Samedi 6 Janvier 2007 à 19:09 GMT+2 dans my studies

    I found some other stuff on Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde so I prefered to study that before going there.
In a way the day isn't finished yet, so I decided to study hystory tonight. That way I'll have some stuff done before I go home on Monday.
    I still have to study for Great Expectations, Maggie & The Merchant of Venice and for the argumentation/phonetics.

    Tonight Peter has a carnaval meeting with most of his mates: I'm not going but I will watch a movie and study. And probably read more of Great Expectations. I'll try to aim 200.

Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde

Par * t R i S h *, Vendredi 5 Janvier 2007 à 18:14 GMT+2 dans my studies

    This is the second book I have to study for my 2nd year in college this year.
    I started studying at 3:30pm and finished at 5:45pm and I'm almost done!!! It's great! I still have to read again the commentaries on extracts we studied in class. And it will be all for this book. I'm quite glad about it

    Tomorrow I'm studying British civilisation. Thank goodness it's the part of its history I like
