Homework horrors!
 

I thought I'd create a thread which can enable us to vent our frustration on annoying pieces of homework, assignments, projects, coursework or just general work! :rolleyes:

- Let's face it, I'm more than a little p'd off at present with a bugger of a poetry question that we've been given for homework! :mad::

"In 'My Last Duchess' Browning expresses a view on the difficulties of relationships. Compare the ways in which this theme is explored in one Heaney, one Clarke and one pre-1914 poem."

I mean !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! :conf: - I've gone brain dead! :puzzled:

Anybody else got any homework horrors?? (Hopefully not just me Lol! :laugh:)

Tom. :xyxwave:

Oops, this has nothing to do with the X Factor folks! Sorry!! :blush:

If there's any mods about, could you change this into the general chat sil vous plait?? :spin2: Danke schon! :bigsmile:

:laugh: Tom. I think I need this thread in a couple of weeks with all the assiagments i have for uni

I have a french oral,to talk about myself:mad:I am so bad at french!

Know what you mean Princess! I have my whole German Oral Booklet (32 pages) to memorise before the mocks that start on 12th December! :nono:

Good luck Princess and Tom:thumbs:

Thanks Big Sis! Hope your studys go well too! :thumbs:

*Remembers*

Ich gehe lieber mit meiner Familie in Urlaub, da sie sehr freundlich sind und mehr Geld als meine Freunde hat!

Ich mochte ein Glas Apfelsaft und fur meine Tante ein Bier, bitte. Meine Tante mochte Hahnchen mit Kartoffeln und Erbsen. Ich nehme Wurst mit Pommes und Salat.

'Tis doing my head in!!
:puzzled:

Sounds a mouthful.

Great idea for a thread!

I've moved it to general chat tho'. Hope you don't mind!

I love this period of poetry though, and really enjoyed helping my sons with their A level English. One got an A, and the other a B. Not sure if they learned as much as I did.

Funny, I had no problem buckling down to theirs, but have enormous difficulties buckling down to do my own assignments.

My advice, just start it, bung down some ideas and get on with it! Pity I could never take my own advice really.

Agree with you RoB, in that once I have got a few ideas on the page, it all seems to come together. It's weird in that I normally find poetry and english assignments quite easy, and do now after clearing my head from all the chaos of yesterday! :thumbs:

Congrats to your sons on their great results - they should be proud :hello:

Apparently I'm predicted an A* grade, which is quite scary, but I'm hoping for a pass grade so that can hopefully carry me into the 6th form!

Fingers crossed! :spin2:

Ps. - Thanks for moving the thread - I don't know why it created itself in the X Factor! :conf:

I'm guessing that there is a double meaning being implied!?! Lol! :rolleyes::laugh:

I have no idea what your talking about Piper! :hugesmile:

Of course you don't, I'd never expect such a thing from you in a million years Tanser!! :joker:

been helping my 12 year old son to do homework on adam and eve ermmm asif i knew about thAT LOL ???

I dont do homework. =/

:rolleyes: - Wish I could say that Gazzap! :laugh:

Seems such a long time ago that I had homeworks on Adam and Eve in RE!!!

Apparently they're now taking us into Ethics, we're studying the moral implications behind life and death, suicide, euthanasia. Basically, pretty much anything you can find that is extremely depressing - we study it in RE! :bigsmile:

Shush, mommy might be listening! :rolleyes:

Oh god if theres one subject i cant stand, its RE, i agree, it is depressing.. =/

im starting to learn spanish soon. for proper.

when i was gone backa few weeks i was constantly revising and studying. bout 100 page book full of car insurance facts :/.

lol man i needed this thread back then.

That sounds unbelievebly boring! Worse than 5 hours of quadratic and simultaneous equations, and that's bad!!! :laugh: - I didn't know there were as many as 100 car insurance facts! :puzzled: - I'm in trouble!! :hugesmile:

Aww! Mommy still come and give you a kiss and a cuddle before she tucks you in at night?? :spin: Bless!! :laugh::laugh: Hehe!

oh man it was a nightmare. u should of seen how much i had to learn...

:shocked: And I thought 32 pages of German was bad!! Sheesh, they're little buggers aren't they! Talk about a power trip!! :laugh:

cant remember RE at school or anything come to that:blush:

That'd probably be the best way for me!!! :hugesmile:

try doing A level french, its a nightmare

Princess90 dont worry about ur frech oral, im guessing its about the same hardness as a gcse one cause ur 15/16 right?

I learnt my gcse french oral 10 minutes before the exam and i got an A* (88/90)

i would'nt worry :bigsmile:

*panic attack over*

Just got two more tests to do. A Modern Studies one, and a German Listening. *relaxes*

Does anyone have a vague knowledge of German at all? I'm absolutely stumped with the homework - have tried to no avail for 3 hours!!! :nono:

I'm 15,the french oral went fine.I had The junior cert(irish gsces) dured the summer so no exams for ages

only language i know is my own

cool, im glad it went well Princess, what grade did you get?

Don't know yet:dog:

o rite, when will you know?

On my christmas report,don't know when that is either:rolleyes:

Hey Guys! :bigsmile:

Sorry I've been a bit quiet lately - have been solidly revising for my mock GCSE exams that start tomorrow!! :bawling:

Ive got 5 hrs of exams tomorrow (2hr History, 1hr Chemistry and 1hr Maths Non-Calc)

2hrs 45mins on Thursday (1hr Biology and 1 3/4hrs German

4hrs 45mins on Friday (1hr Physics, 1 3/4 hrs English and 2hrs Graphics

5hrs on Monday (1 1/2hrs History, 1 1/2hrs RE and 2hrs Maths)

And finally about 30mins of German on Tuesday! Woah, I feel sick just thinking about it! :bored:

Anyway, just to say that I probs won't be around for a while until they're finished, due to frantic revision, but I'll be done and dusted after the 21st, and shall see you all then! :hello:

Good luck to anyone else who's got exams! :bouncy:

Enjoy yourselves, See you soon! Tom :laugh:

Oh your school is a barstool aren't they making you do exams so close to christmas.
