Does anyone else just feel so intimidated at their enthusiastic and dedicated peers and just think screw this, I want to drop, it's too depressing... But then if I dropped I'd only have 10 units :S Ugh. Hating on ext2 right now.

But really the chances of that balding old marker by the fireplace of reading your journal are very very slim. They only look at your journal if there are some inconsistencies or things they want to check.

EXACTLY!! If only my major work could just be handing in my journal. i can write in it for agesss - anything to put off actual story work!

ok what's wrong with that opening passage of the 7th harry potter? its way better than twilight - i remember picking up the 2nd book and it opens with something like 'i felt like i was trapped in a nightmare' hmm pretty original at least harry potter doesnt operate on cliches as twilight does

Nah, come on - Harry Potter can be loved by adults and kids alike and it has much more literary merit than Twilight - JK Rowling's language is considerably more masterful language than the unsophisticated dribble of Stephanie Meyer.

yeah this thread is making me feel guilty, like i should probably be doing some extension 2 work instead of browsing bored of studies... need idea development and some serious research underway before i can even think about starting to write, so still no idea what the people with "only 4000...

Haha the Castle of Otranto - sounds as if it'd be just as painful as The Mysteries of Udolpho

That's easy - JANE AUSTEN FOREVER!!!

TWILIGHT defo takes the cake for most annoying!!

Twilight is ever so BASIC, CLICHED and LAME. It is very, VERY tweeny-bopper!! Comparisons to Harry Potter are laughable - and would be deeply insulting if one was to take them seriously!

How's the Tell-Tale Heart romantic? I guess it's kind of got a gothic feel but apart from that...?

heyyy!! who else loves Northanger?! We also did Keats poetry - which is complex but one can't deny its brilliance and appreciate it surely? And I think we have a choice to do either Possession or Wuthering (defo doing Wuthering lol). So will we have to tie all these texts together in one essay...

ok so apparently im hating on everyone who has ACTUALLY STARTED WRITING ALREADY!?!? wtf??! psyche down guys!!! i've only just got a reasonable grasp of my idea let alone anything else!! i CANNOT believe people have done drafts and are all worried about whether they've done enough??! dear me...

hmm cos there's a tragedy.. Geez, heaps of people get 37 and regard it as good. It is almost 40. Pretty much sick of the elitists

Ah, someone else doing Romanticism in ext1! That is a really good idea actually, exploring the whole child seeing truths more clearly than adults and the markers will love that you're incorporating stuff from ext1. Omg you've freaked me out though - you've done the first draft...

Hey, I'd very much like to read it, am interested in seeing what other people are writing for belonging creative stories.. Not like there's any past such stories to look at! Also doing 4u Eng.. How's your major going?

Hey does anyone know some good songs about belonging? Am having trouble thinking of some. We are advised against modern kind of not-so-meaningful songs... Any suggestions would be much appreciated I am sure!

I am going to do Ext 2 this year but am pretty worried because I really don't know what my short story is going to be on.. I seriously have no ideas or anything!? It's hard because obviously you want your major work to be good - the topic has to be something you're really into - or you won't...

I've got a green spiral book for my journal and so far only have a couple of pages of notes from a book about writing... What does the first page of you guys' journal consist of? I don't know how to start it. Especially as I have no ideas as of yet...
