Default 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!

- 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! :

"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 !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! - I've gone brain dead!

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

Tom.

Thanks Big Sis! Hope your studys go well too!

*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!!

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!

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

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!

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

- Wish I could say that Gazzap!

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!

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