Re: How Great Was That?

The facebook groups are priceless:

"Naturally, Eilis would picture her mother writing a letter in the kitchen."

"Only Jack would complain about having a 6 month trip around the world"

"The awkward moment when the visual stimulus is optional."

"Realising that you were drunk when you created the HSC image"

"Being too lazy to create a new stimulus, so you just crop the visual text."

"Using Grandma's knitted blanket as inspiration for the HSC visual text."

"Not moving to Brooklyn because it's impossible to belong there."
Hahaha, and the group: "Awkward moment when Eilis moves back to Ireland and everybody hates her"

More related texts= less detail for each for the same amount of writing as someone else who did less related texts

so 8 is not necessarily a good thing
