Hmm...be sure to not let them rope you into being a Classics major, that's the biggest advice I haveOriginally posted by Tybaltus
Not too bad. The humidity and heat is pretty bad over here, but heat tends not to bother me too much. Im starting to worry about college a bit. Only 1 1/2 more weeks until orrientation and I have no idea what classes I want...
History, geography, communication, writing....math wouldnt hurt either.Originally posted by Vivien

Well I have been in 3 classical literature classes already through highschool:
1)Shakespeare Lit
2)Biblical and Classical Lit
3)Early British Lit
Biblical and Classical was the only one I did really well in, and I played tic-tac-toe with my best friend in that class most of the time.
I don't 'member any of it, but I have the diploma Well I did take a history class in Ancient Greece and Rome. That was a class I was so mediocre in but I had fun and learned a lot. He didnt like my style of writing and I didnt like his style of tests. Dont get me wrong, though, he was a great teacher.Originally posted by Vivien

Communication and Math are probably the most 'practicle'. But History can be so fun
No...Classics as in Ancient Greek, Ancient Latin etc..
Did you enjoy the biblical lit?
Ah, yes the Oedipus complex .Originally posted by Tybaltus

Biblical and Classical lit was fun. I liked going deeper into the bible and looking at it in a literature sense rather than religeous. Though I like the religeous view a bit better. It means more to me. The Classical part is what bothered me. I couldnt stand the Odyssey. I mean I like the general story, I just didnt like the way it was written. The plays like Antigone, and Oedipus Rex. Those were good plays.
I feel I first started appreciating 'song of solomon' at the time I realized that the Bible contained such rich writing.Medea....Yes Ive read it, but can you remind me what its about....we only spent a couple weeks on it, so I can hardly remember it.Originally posted by Vivien
Ah, yes the Oedipus complex .
*mutters to herself about freud somehow having corrupted the greeks*
I agree that the Bible is so ...well, it's fascinating to look at in a literary sense! All of the poetry, stories
Have you read 'Medea'?
How so the style of tests vs. style of writing?
Medea...mother who kills her children. But I blame Jason. Stupid, macho Argonauts.Originally posted by Tybaltus

Style of his tests: LONG multiple choice answers-they confused me, I thought I knew the answer than I read the other answers and they seemed logical too so that threw off my balance and answers went down with it.
Style of my writing: Sometimes I throw in a couple of tangents to try to prove my thesis, some teachers like it, some hate it. I have to learn what each teacher likes. Sometimes when I dont like a topic of writing, the teacher can tell that I had no enjoyment. Once I was forced to do a 10 page research paper, and I didnt support the fact we didnt have a whole lot of time to work on it, so I voiced my protest by making it the dryest most boring factual papers I could make it. It was like reading a text book. Well I got a C+, but I didnt really care, as my grade was already a C+ that term. But that was only that once. Sometimes I like to experiment with certain things in each class, to figure how certain things are graded. Ive done "experiments" at least 4 different times.
Random is always goodOriginally posted by Vivien
With multple choice answers...I find randomness works well
What type of experiments?
Well I daydreamed too. I drew, played tic-tac-toe, and still managed to take notes and pass each class. I think maybe I shouldnt have experimented, but its too late now.Originally posted by Vivien
Well at least you had fun
I myself would have never tried such stuff, but then I merely day dreamed during classes in highschool
*hug* leaving for a bit
