It's Over!

First off, apologies to anyone who tried to click the 'o' in 'over'. This is not an episode of Teen Girl Squad but is in fact, another one of those updates on my life. With my workload down near zero, I've been trying to find some fun stuff to do. James sent me a helpful exam question because he felt I didn't have enough to do. It reads as follows:

Q1) 'The Turn of the Screw'*

a) "The narrator is a mentalist, she's just seeing things" - discuss. (20 marks)

b) Compare and contrast the book with 'Jane Eyre' (20 marks)

N.B. Complaining about the examiner's spelling, punctuation and/or grammar will force him to award a zero mark - i.e. it is unfair practice.

Answers on a postcard, I guess, guys. I'm looking forward to the Guildpact prerelease with what can only be described as a near-religious level of fervour. The Gruul, in spite of their silly name, seem to be right up my street, being, as they are, filled with enormous R/G fatties and efficient smaller beatsticks. Hurrah. My exam wasn't perfect, but then I'm not sure I've ever had a perfect exam. I spent the first minute or so panicking slightly having read the question and the passage it related to. The passage itself was from somewhere in the middle (i.e. the dull bit with Stephen and Rachael) of 'Hard Times' and was, as you might expect, a little short on bits of critical analysis to do but I think I managed reasonably well. I expect not to get a totally terrible mark, but who knows, really?

Last night was great fun as we had an impromptu gaming session with Jed and Mike turning up randomly to pester James, Phil and Mark (who I believe were trying to sleep, mainly) followed by me. An excellent way to end the first semester, I think. 

I think I best go and get reading some of my course texts for next year. I ordered a copy of 'To the Lighthouse' and 'Ulysses' by Virginia Woolf and James Joyce respectively for my 'Modernism and Modernity' course and quite look forward to reading them, actually. The whole course should (hopefully) be quite interesting. Right, I hope anyone who was curious has had their curiosity satisfied.
