    Art History

    i can't drop the subject... i need it for film studies. +, i don't hate the art, i just hate aspects of the way it's made available to us at usyd. maybe it's better in 2nd and 3rd year? like they always say. +, this isn't some pep rally, you know, i can whine all i want to whine. if i...

    Art History

    i hate how there's no repeats of the lectures at more convenient times. because of that i have a five hour gap to kill on mondays & a four hour gap on tuesdays. and i'm stuck going home in the dark and suffocating on the train like sad sardine. and that STUPID flickering light in the lower...

    Listen To The Silence.

    yeah I come here at least once a week and just stare glumly at the boring/empty -ness of it and then leave. you would think arts students would be a little more creative instead of nerdy or simply absent.

    Mrs Dalloway

    Yeah when I first read Woolf I was like man, fuckoff, but once you step into it, the writing/perspective/entire thing is really quite remarkable. It helps to read the first pages (whatever) without trying to understand and then it gets better.

    Liberal Studies

    yeah. we've already discussed it elsewhere, gwarpo. :D but it IS a sad state of affairs, the course. Although I actually don't think it would be so bad for you, because you're doing up-to-standard mathematics and french continuers. The course might actually be suited to you because you will...

    Stereotypes?

    What are people's timetables like?

    end of semester. because I'm doing liberal studies it's policy that I can transfer into either BA or BS at any semester; just have to write the faculty/dean a letter, three or so weeks before end of semester.

    Would you reccommend extension?

    yeah. if you enjoy history (even if only occasionally) then it's pretty easy and not too much work. basically just reading texts and then spewing them onto paper come exam time + essay which you can do within a week and get a great result. it's easy marks and I always liked it. + you don't...

    Ways of Thinking

    yeah that's the way to go because history ext tends to come right out with the main concepts, because you're researching people and periods instead of muddling your way through texts and their possible associated ideas.

    Ways of Thinking

    a way of thinking as I understood it is a way of looking at an issue/text--- adopting a particular view (which has conventions and rules which may or may not be agreed upon) and applying that 'way of thinking' to society, literature, history, etc. ie feminist way of thinking --> feminist...
