#english paper 2

[notahorseindisguise]

JUST GOT OUT OF PAPER 2!!! i think i did good!!! i definitely passed at least. my mod c creative writing was good. i almost cried w relief when i realised it was creative writing. it wasnt really relevant to the stimulus but it was a good writing piece at least. mod a, i havent read either text but i think i just. wrote enough for it to be ok. and mod b, i feel like its very clear how little i remembered from the poems but its fine!! i made up for it with flowery language lmao

Is it to late to admit I don't actually know what vision and viewpoint is? Ask the rest of my English class and they also have no fucking ideas

redditors have the slightest amount of media comprehension challenge (impossible)

the amount of people who still cannot grasp that the Stranger is Gandalf truly baffles me. they have given us every visual and narrative clue possible and nerd ass fanboys are crying in the comments that he’s definitely a Blue Wizard because the actor has not yet turned directly to the camera and said: “I, Daniel Weyman, am playing the character of Gandalf in Amazon’s The Rings of Power.”

“but it doesn’t happen that way in the books!” they sob. No one cares!! it literally does not matter!!! this is the middle earth cinematic universe for god’s sake! it’s middle earth-616! it’s different from the books just like the PJ trilogy were different from the books!! go outside!!!

And then worse than that, they whine and cry about it being a “mystery box” or a “guessing game” - brother it can’t be a mystery box because it’s not a mystery!!!!! they already told you who the character was in the first season!!! they expected you to have the two brain cells needed to figure it out from the obvious narrative clues!!!!

i know it’s my fault for being on reddit in the first place, but i am genuinely going to lose my mind!!!

three weeks left in the semester and neither of my major papers ive submitted for english have been graded. this functionally means i have no idea what my grade actually is in this class, and also that i have received extremely limited feedback in my longer writing assignments, and i have no idea what i need to improve in my final one so i can make sure whatever fucking grade i end up with is a good one !!!!

[musicalsiphonophore]

so. i had my english exam.

I FUCKING READ THE EXTRA TIME END TIME RATHER THAN MY CORRECT END TIME AND I THOUGHT I HAD 40 MINUTES BUT I HAD 5 MINUTES AND THEN THE INVIGILATOR SAID I HAD 5 MINUTES AND I FUCKING JUMPED OUT OF MY SEAT AND I SOMEHOW WROTE AN ENTIRE TWO QUESTIONS WITH A TOTAL FIVE (5) PARAGRAPHS IN THAT TIME AND WHEN THEY SAID PUT YOUR PENS DOWN I BURST INTO TEARS

FUCK MY LIFE

THE LOVE SONG OF J ALFRED PRUFROCK

oh do not ask "what is it?"/let us go and make our visit

in the room the women come and go/talking of michelangelo

there will be time/to prepare a face to mee the faces that you meet

in a minute there is time/for decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse

i have measured out my life with coffee spoons

i should have been a pair of ragged claws/scuttling across the floors of silent seas.

i grow old... i grow old.../i shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled

shall i part my hair behind? do i dare to eat a peach?

There's an English class on Golden Age detective fiction being offered next semester but the prerequisite for it is the intro to literary study class required for all English majors (which I haven't taken because I'm in a hard STEM major and don't have much time for electives, which means that I have to be really picky with my electives and only go for stuff I like AND doesn't have an awful workload) and also even if I did have that prereq, I wouldn't be able to take the class because it's at the same time as one of my major reqs. And also I'll be in two labs next semester and one of them is pure hell so like I literally don't have the time to take more than 13 credit hours (as tempting as it is to keep up my streak of taking 17-18 every semester even though it's been like really pretty bad for my social life and hobbies). Sigh. (Pressing my hand wistfully against the glass) maybe someday they'll offer the class again
