I've just discovered that, as part of my notes on The Second Coming by WB Yeats, I wrote:

'The twentieth century's when it all changes... and Yeats is ready!'

Now am I amused. xD

Of course, that will make no sense to anyone who hasn't read the poem... *links to it*

I swear I had an English essay set for half term, but I can't find the cover sheet, nor can I find it written down anywhere.
This is annoying as I was hoping to get it done before NaNo started. But I do have frees all day Monday, so if necessary I can do it then...

But still... agh. This is annoying. *hoping that the one person from her English group who's on her contacts will come online at some point between now and Saturday*

Later edit - AND JUST TO MAKE THINGS EVEN WORSE, I CAN'T EDIT MY RS COURSEWORK PROPERLY WITHOUT MY FOLDER. Which is... at school. I SUCK.

I'm getting increasingly annoyed by my classics group. I know that they must like classics, at least a little, but... one girl in particular is INSANELY critical. Particularly of the Aeneid, which I'm liking more and more the more I read of it.

Like... after we read Book Two, which is about the fall of Troy, she was talking about how Aeneas' wife was dying was his own fault for letting her walk behind him rather than in front of him. I was actually quite moved when I read that section, and the scenes before it, with Aeneas leading the Trojans in a last charge (they almost all die, obviously).

Then she (and most of the rest of the group) were talking about the scene in Book Three where Aeneas discovers the grave of Polydorus (a relative of his who was murdered) because the ground starts bleeding as if it was really bizarre, which... well, yeah, it's weird. Personally, though, I'd describe it as 'surreal and creepy'. I liked it. ;_;

My English Literature group is the same a lot of the time. They almost all seem to have this kind of 'meh' reaction to everything we study. It's always either 'yeah, it's alright' or 'I don't really like it'. It's not like that in all my subjects - most people in my philosophy and ethics group almost always seem to have opinions on what we study.

I really don't like my English group. I just don't get why they all chose the subject...

I have finished the dull sculpture essay, just about - I wrote half of it by hand, and left that half at school. I shall have to type it up tomorrow.

This meant i had to spend tonight writing about Othello instead. But I'm actually in quite a good mood, because it's just about done... albeit rather later than I'd like (quarter to ten) because my sister wouldn't let me use the computer when I wanted it. >_< Oh, and I was planning to do the rather simpler and less time consuming task of typing up and editing my classics essay. >__< But oh, well. Tis done.

This may mean I have time to plan my RS coursework tomorrow morning (I'm free till just before lunch). I have yet to do this. I really should.

And... damn, my printer is taking it's time!

My fisrt sort-of-block of exams is over. Tis of the good.
Unfortunately, all but one of the exams I am/was really, really scared about is in the next block (ie maths, food (&nutrition), history, biology, physics, english language 1 and my other two latin papers).

...I'M SCARED.

Other than that, though, not having to go to school for two weeks if of the good. Though one week is half term, so no-one'll be in school... bah.

So, yesterday, I had English Literature and my Latin Virgil paper. The English was fine, and the Virgil would have been a lot better if the second passage we got hadn't been the only one I felt I really didn't know properly, probably because I made an attempt to colour code my notes which failed miserably and left me pretty much unable to revise from them (fortunately, the other's were okay).
I'm now halfway through my Latin, which is of the good, and I've got no more language work to do until next year - I'm not sure what that is of the.

Anyway, I think my mum wants the computer again pretty soon. *Stops typing*

<Damn exams I hate them I hate them they're so incredibly dull and yet also stressful....>
