Again? And look, it pops up again on Day 18!
Nevertheless, this gives me a chance to talk about school (the next installment of Sway will come on Day 18. How exciting, right?!), because as of today, it's ... over! Well, Semester 1 of Year 1, that is - alas, I still have three ... more ... years ... and a half to go. Mmpf. But if it comes and goes as fast as this semester did, I don't think it'll be that bad ... right? Right?
Anyway, EN and GEK were alright. I didn't choke - okay, I might've on GEK when I saw that the two questions were compulsory, and we weren't given a choice like in previous papers. In one of them, there was a question that read, "Discuss the use of post-modernism in any film, novel, or TV show". I was like, "Please repeat this question!" because I'd have written about Inglourious Basterds (THE REFLEXIVENESS, IT BUUUUURNS), and then there'd be no choking. But alas, it wasn't meant to be.
I then went to collect my PS and EN essays. Not bad. I'm quite pleased with the results: a B for PS (I know it's average, but it was real last-minute and written on a Christoph high, and the best I'd hoped for was an even more average C+), and a B+ for EN. For the latter, the grade doesn't fuss me too much because of what my tutor wrote on the back. This is a mere paraphrase, but he'd said he'd liked my writing style, which is "meandering, informal". The former's a bit what because last I checked, "meandering" isn't supposed to be expected of a uni paper, but well, I suppose if it sets me apart ...
Speaking of informal, I've taken on such an informal approach to the exams, it makes me break out into a girlish titter whenever I think about it. I think it's because of MLIA and their [fake] "Oh, I gave a smart-ass answer and got full credit!" stories ... For example, for HY, I'd written "Praise be!" after ending my answer on who Tim Berners-Lee is. (He invented HTML, revolutionising the Internet.) Of course, I won't be answering exam papers like how I write stories and blog entries (exam answers ... peppered with swear words and Internet colloquialisms? The horror!) - I'll just leave in little snarky asides, etc. Give the person marking my paper something to laugh about (I hope), amid the crying over what the bull-plop is this student talking about, I CAN'T READ HER HANDWRITING AND OMGGG. Yeah.
That said, it's that time of the semester where I rate modules based on an "ARGH", "MEH" and "YAY" scale. It's pretty self-explanatory, methinks.
EN1101E: YAY (This is Literature, after all.)
GEK1046: YAY
HY1101E: YAY (Surprising, since I hated History back in secondary school. I foamed at the mere thought of having to memorise stuff whenever exam season came around.)
JS1101E: ARGH
PS1101E: MEH
Whoo. Now to archive my files!
