"Anyone else doing this?"

Ahh, easter, the time of revision is upon us, but is anyone acctually doing it? i've got the novel 'of mice and men' sitting infront of me, but im finding it so hard to pick up. Does anyone else have this revision problem and how are they getting around it!?

Mice And Men is short like a monkey. That's why they make us do it.

Oh and the poetry of John Donne is almost as fun as contracting aids

Well. Someone in year 11 in my school cocked up his mocs, so he has to do 5 hours of revision everyday for the holidays.

2a.m., bright an' early!

Yeah I think Of Mice And Men and The Long And The Short And The Tall are known as good literature throughout britain so we all read them. I still have my essay on The Long And The Short And The Tall on my computer. My word limit was 900 words...it's 1,629 words...well she still marked it (grudgingly).

Yeah, thought it was something rediculous like that.

Thankyee.

Yep, Owen, Sasoon, Brookes and all the Propagandists. I like studying WW1 poets, especially Owen, he was one bitter man (I can see why though!)


> Pardoners tale for chaucer?

Nope, Wife of Bath (The Prologue.) Her prologue is brilliant, its all about how she marries 5 men, three of whom are old men she marries for their money, one cheats on her and the last one she has a physical fight with! The Wife of Bath WAS the 14th Century 'Eastenders'!

Only did 2 hours today (The garden was too tempting so I had to give up on revision and sit in the sun!)

I have been revising for ITC. Even though the exam is in about a year and 2 months...

ITC...Oh the days when that was it's name. When you get older it become Computing Studies and then when you get even older it becomes Computing Studies and a "sister" course is produced called Information Systems. I'm about to sit Computing Studies (the first one) and next year I'm taking Computing Studies and Information Systems. YOU! In the back! I'm not a computer geek!! **waves finger frantically**
