I had my literature test today *crosses fingers*
and I passed my latin literature test :D

thanks a lot.. well I don't think I did very well in my exam, but I won't get result before Christmas, so there's no point worrying about it.
Wow, congrats to passing your Latin literature test. I used to have Latin and I thought it was so hard... I'm just glad I don't have it any more

Currently studying Gulliver's Travels, which is a bit of an amusing book, and finished Frankenstein last week. I found it slightly disturbing.

today I finally finished studying Don Carlos, because I had to sit an exam about it.. and the questions didn't seem to have anything to do with the drama at all.. it really didn't go well at all.

Oh I loved Animal Farm and I'm thinking of reading it again, it's been many years since I read it and I migh see it in a new way now. I also read 1984 at the same time but I found it depressing and scary... should probably read that one again too! :-)

I'm doing AS english literature at the moment and in 2 weeks I have an exam on The Spire by William Golding. It's full of metaphors and symbolism and Golding uses variable viewpoint, so it's a bit confusing at the best of times.

We've also just finished studying Much Ado About Nothing by Shakespeare which I really enjoyed. I didn't really like Shakespeare before we studied Much Ado, but now I'm hooked!

Some dork at the library told me to read Animal Farm when I was eight years old! It scarred me for life... I still shudder when I think of it...

Right now I'm studying <i>The Faerie Queen</i> by Edmund Spencer. And I LOVE it!

luckily I didn't have to read Cicero. We had to decide between Pliny and Cicero and we decided to read Pliny though I doubt that Pliny is better than Cicero. I can only say that I know what u guys are going through, but you'll make it.. I made it as well.
