Hot take: I genuinely love English. This is becuase my texts are just good, not nihlistic or just depressing such as T.S Eliot or Sylvia Plath/Ted Hughes.
Common Mod: Vertigo
Mod A: King Richard III and Looking for Richard
Mod B: Unfolding Florence
Ykw based, English itself isn’t that bad and ngl I like my depressing texts - it’s more the way they expect essays to be structured and the themes they want from you, plus the timed conditions - I’d much prefer to be given a week for a project in order to sharpen my thesis and my take on a piece of literature hence why ext was so much more enjoyable for me (I say as I didn’t study for that subject at all)

Guys any tips for my last 2 days of classes and the following 3 days (grad formalities)?
I don’t want to regret how I spend my time this week, while still studying ofc
Imo if you wanna still study only do it if ur not tired so you can fully enjoy like each day as it comes and then lock in on the weekend, and also try to push away the thought of the HSC as best you can and live in the moment !! No time like the present ahaha

I think the year 12s at my school did both those texts lol. They really want us to be depressed. But still how do u like eng. Do u genuinely like writing essays and studying for it
I enjoyed writing my essays as the themes were more happy rather than downright miserable. Take Vertigo, the whole crux of the book is healing after profound loss, and Earth Hour is all about loving the planet/nature, e.ct. Basically, because my texts were obscure/not common by any means, I didn't find myself becoming bored or feel like I'm just writing the same essays with the same ideas. Like I don't know anyone else who is doing unfolding florence.

Ok, I do agree that the rigid structure in adv disrupts creative flow. I think a viva voce, like they do in ext 2 on a text would be so good ngl.
