Fucking English

I really thought I'd lap up this whole English Lit course, but it's been a real disappointment. I'm loving Creative Writing, but EL has been kinda boring and the work is fucking piling up. For one module alone, I have to write two Close Reading Analysis (both 500 words with Peer Reviews), summarise an event (500 words), a 'Paragraphing' Excercise (I have to rewrite three paragraphs and circle 'connecting' words or some bullshit), a 'Mapping Introduction' (basically write the Introduction for my essay) and then a Discovery Essay (1500 words). That's 3000+ words for one fucking module alone. The other module for English Lit isn't so bad. I only have to write an Essay of 1500 words for a pretty vague topic, along with 100 word notes on each book so that should be fine.
For Creative writing, I have to write five books reviews (300 words each) which is gonna be grand. So far I've written only two. For the other CW module it's two creative pieces (750 words each; I have one completed that's 900+ words and the other is on its way), two critical analysis of short stories (250 words each) and keep a Journal.

I was reading one of my EL textbooks about Beginnings, and it was all bullshit like 'What, or where is the beginning? Is it at the start of the book? Is it when the writer puts pen to paper (or, to be sure, takes the first keystroke of a keyboard)? Or when the reader picks up the book oh who gives a fucking shit. Get on with it for fuck's sakes. Yeah that's right, I'm not gonna close the quotation. I'm mad. It pissed me off so much, and I have to read like ten chapters of it before the end of the year because I was lazy and stupid and didn't pick up the book before now. Fuck it. I don't care. They can get fucked with the amount of work they've given to first years, who without doubt are going to be lazy fucks who really don't care yet. If they're surprised by the quality of the work handed in then they have no memory of being a fresher. Even one of my tutors thinks it's too much work, but won't say anything to the heads of the module. Ugh.

Anyway. Started listening to Refused again. Amazing band. Definitely get into it if you haven't.
