Just For A Laugh



Just in case the video doesn't work you can find the clip at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daNb7lcWDz4 

I just thought this was a bit of a laugh! Whoever did it got the timing perfect! (i.e. this isn't mine)

Summer Holidays!

Hi!

Well exams are finally over! (Deep sigh of relief) The only one I hated was Psychology and the entire class is positive they failed that one! Not an exaggeration unfortunately. Our lecturer told us he was putting things on the paper that he never did! It was a two hour exam and people left after half an hour because they couldn't write anything! Such a dick!!!!

Grrr...

Okey and a deep breath... and moving along. The poetry exam went okay I think. We had an unseen poem and I answered the general question on poetry. In Shakespeare: Drama and Film I think the first question on the text went really well! The only thing I'm worried about is I got really sick halfway through the exam and was trying not to vomit the whole time I was answering the question on film! It sucks because I was looking forward to that one and I'm not sure it was very coherent. Well there's nothing I can do about it now. Oh yeah, part one was genre conventions in comedy (I used A Midsummer Night's Dream as an example) and part two was the development of a character through film language (I used Richard III, Loncraine 1995 with Ian McKellan because the man is amazing!). I also got good comments on my King Lear assignment so I'm very happy! :)

You can probably guess that there's not much studying going to be written about during the summer holidays. However, I do plan on reading the books we're going doing next year during the summer (I figure a head start can't hurt!) and I'm still doing the Pride & Prejudice challenge! My updated list is:


Pride & Prejudice: The Graphic Novel
Prom and Prejdice
Pride & Prejudice (1995)
Pride & Prejudice (Book)
Pride and Prejudice (2005)
Mr. Darcy's Diary
Pride and Prejudice (1985)
Pride & Prejudice & Zombies
An Unexpected Governess
An Unexpected Lady
Bride & Prejudice
What Matters in Jane Austen
The Lizzie Bennet Diaries
Death Comes to Pemberley


There are some changes and I'm still not sure about leaving in What Matters in Jane Austen. An Unexpected Governess is a kind of sequel to An Unexpected Lady which was about Kitty. Governess is about Mary after Pride & Prejudice and I have to say, I loved it. It was so nice to read about Mary and see things from her point of view. I honestly wasn't sure I'd like it. I only got it because Lelia M. Silver wrote it and I'd loved An Unexpected Lady! (Lelia is the right spelling by the way). I'm currently reading the original text (i.e. the best) in a Pulp the Classics version! Seriously, check them out, they're so cool! I got the Great Gatsby in them too. I must try get a pic of it up (It makes my ninth copy of Pride & Prejudice! Nearly in double digits!).

Well I can't think of anything else to say right now so...

Until Next Time!
