    Bladenstein...still haven't finished the essay.

    Concerned that they will specify a speech for that module,

    and that we will require two related texts for Julius Caesar. I have only one.

    Module B, Hamlet...
    I feel sorry for people who don't drink.

    When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

    Mod A. I'm comfortable with Hammy and Mod C should be alright, just a bit worried about running out of time in Mod A.

    For me it was Mod B, things can get tricky with a buzzword/specific text specification.

    Does anyone else think that the Conflicting Perspectives section will specify two ORT's

    Ah yes, I remember being scared shitless for Mod B :')

    Lol'd (silently) during trials though, some ridiculously generic question relevant to 'the human experience' or 'humanity'...

    Module B - If they specify a speech to analyse, some bins will be dented.

    EDIT: Just realised my school isn't using CSSA for paper 2, but still..scared for mod B in case they specify a speech.

    Make sure you find a way to cram in a few emergency points from every other speech!!

    Mod B--> Cloudstreet.

    Good book, pain in the bum to study

    Confident about Connections (Mod A) (Richard/Looking For Richard)

    Justice game (mod C)...could go either ways.

    But Cloudstreet is going to give me nightmares.

    My teacher said that they will just specify "AT LEAST" one related text at the worst...maybe that was just her being hopeful though.
