Well, it's revision time. Though, as someone at uni pointed out, in my case with English it's more vision than REvision, coz I haven’t yet read most of the stuff even once - there’s too much of it and I’m way behind! So I will be reading intros to theorists' works if I don't have time to read the actual texts and will hopefully have time to look at my notes, but it’s all gonna be a bit rushed and half-arsed as I have less than 2 weeks! A bit worrying as it’s a difficult exam and apparently last year people didn’t do very well - it’s easy to see why from looking at the past paper! We’re expected to know a bit about each of LOADS of theorists in preparation of answering 20 very specific questions, and god only knows which particular people these questions will be about! It’s not essay-based, it’s "right or wrong", which I’m not at all used to for either English or Philosophy. In short, I’m dreading it, and a few days after it my Philosophy exams start so I really should be looking at some Philosophy too. Argh! Fun times!
Best of luck to everyone else with exams!
