Yep, essays.
Got one due in on Monday, title: 'Why did the Republic fall?'
I'm going to have a field day! Of course, I should probably start it at some point... Sunday night perhaps.

Re: That time of year
Ha! That's nothing! I've got three essays due! One is due in a week time and it has to be the final one and it is (blame and kick meself for I choose this): "The Influence of Malory's Le Motre D'Arthur on Tolkien's Lord of the Rings" and another essay due in a week time which is a Theory of Knowledge Essay and a World Literature Essay 2 draft due next week. I want to cry!
Have you heard of IB? I vote it the most taxing, irritating, paperwork-loaded, stressed-filled, annoying, party-pooper and difficult high school program/pre-uni program in the world.
Take that IBO
For those people doing IB here, visit this website: www.ibscrewed.net. You can vent your fustration there and scream for help on topics and subjects and essays. Don't worry, its a nice and save forum for people and of course, they have mods.

Re: That time of year

Then I have to write my Personal Study for English, for which I have chosen to write about the book "Bridge on the River Kwai" by Pierre Boule, and in particular how Saito and Colonel Nicholson have the same principles and beliefs, but enact them differently

I've got a lovely 4000-word essay as a piece of coursework for my economics A-level: "Would it be economically beneficial for the stock exchanges of Europe to be controlled by one firm?"
It's due this friday, so I suspect thursday will be an 'all-nighter'....
Oh and then I've got all those books that I said I'd read but haven't yet to read before my Cambridge interview next monday (oh Keynes, why must you be so nausiatingly boring?)

When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb...

Right. Finished the Roman one, now I've got one to do on the Greeks - archaeology this time. Nowhere near as much fun. But hey.
Re: That time of year
I've got my final essay for two classes coming up. One on Book two, chapter eight of Locke's Essay's Concerning Human Knowledge, and one on whether or not pornography can/should be regulated.Hazzah.

I only have a 500 word essay on who influenced Darwin on his findings...

Re: That time of year
I have three, two for Wednesday and one for the week after. The titles? ....
Describe and evaluate the analogy that Plato draws between the structure of the soul and the structure of the state in 'The Republic'.
Do you accept Hobbes' account of what happens to our natural rights on entering political society? Why?/Why not?
“And what we are confronting here is an evil ideology. ... It is a battle of ideas, of hearts and of minds, both within Islam and outside it.” (Tony Blair) Is it fair to describe the terrorist attacks on the West since 2001 as the consequence of an ‘evil ideology’?
Looking forward to the last one, might even post my response here, but as to the other two it is looking tough, a night before job.
GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.
