That's all you need to know. Got an A* in my A2 exam for War Literature. Probably the only thing I've been proud of academically. I was good at art, but I fucking despise art

Was just my real name. I was only actively posting with that as my username for a couple of months maybe before I had it changed.
First time I posted in here was to say Berbatov was useless and we should sell him. I was jumped on. I think WJD called me a "spaz"
WELL I WAS RIGHT SUCKAS
English is the bestest subject.
I was abused in my first month here too.

GCSE and A Level English Lit was the greatest.
I was the only non-white boy in my class for A-Levels.
Indian peepz ain't interested in English. Losers.

I think State exams in Ireland are much broader than those in Britain.
You only have to answer 1 essay type question for poetry and that's usually on the themes the poets explores.
The best thing is that there's always going to be a question on a female poet. And since there aren't that many notable female Irish poets you could revise the themes of Eavan Boland and you'd have a very good chance of that question being asked.
That's how I got my A in English.

In the British system, the exam is basically the same as the exam from the year before.
So you just learn the answers from last years exam.

A Level English? No no no.
Its all about A Level Classics/Ancient History.
You want poetry? Go big or go home.
The Odyssey, The Iliad and The Aeneid are where its at.
Some of the Theban plays can do one though, The Antigone in particular.

At Poetry Live my friend asked Carol Ann-Duffy if she ever feels like she wasted her lifetime.
Pandemonium ensued.
I don't know much about the A level system but aren't they supposed to be more a specialised set of exams?
Got a point though.
I'm getting a hair cut tomorrow, going to look tighter than when Wilbury met John Agard at Poetry Live.
:looooooooool
I saw Duffy in the corridor about to leave after and my mate didn't know who she was, so I told him to go up and ask her if she was down to fuck. Thinking it was just some random old woman, he did. She complained to the school, he got suspended for a week.

Yup, I did this but with Emily Dickinson, got an A too.
If Zaha and Ince are Wilshere/Cleverley, Redmond is Rodwell.
So they're all overrated?
I got a C in English because we were woefully unprepared. We had 3 teachers throughout the year; two crap and then pregnant, and the third was too busy to teach us. We finished the last third of the anthology two days before the exam. So that, and missing a month of school through surgery, is my excuse.

Yeah that is the idea, for example on my Russian History A Level module, we studied about 100 years of history but the exam has 5 different questions and it's more or less guaranteed that one question will be about a specific window...so you only really need to study one portion of the course but in great detail.
That's how it was when I did my exams 4 years ago anyways.

I used to love Art and was talented at the things i did when i was secondary. Then they changed my teacher from the fun, encouraging, massive-moustached guy who had an activist son, to a witch who was more interested in her holdiays and holding our class in over lunchtimes because of 2 misbehaving idiots in our class.
Literally killed any love or desire I had for the subject.

Bascombe. Interesting, doesn't usually report about anything non-Liverpool based.
I may have done a module similar to that for AS but I presume you were with an English exam board.
John Terry coming back earlier than expected and ruining my FPL aspirations. I'm sure Azpilicueta will start at least one of Chelsea's games but I wish it'd be both..
God damn JT is such a cunt. Stay injured you fuck. Then in two weeks my midfield of Mata/Bale/Walcott/Gerrard will start rampaging.

Yeah, the guy hasn´t played a match in 3 months but he will be fine to play on Sunday... If that happens, he will be just proving he is a terrible professional and I hope his knee goes to shit again.

I hated all that World War I poetry and writing essays on Nazi Germany every week. Also French. Completely worthless as an academic subject. I would be firmly in the 'everything that isn't maths, physics, chemistry or biology is worthless' camp, but some people are so poor at academic writing that they could have done with an A-level in English.
Messi was the first name I tried.
