IMAGE,CODES AND AESTHETIC OF ORIENTAL ASIA: 8,5 (Done with that forever )

TEACHING METHODOLOGY FOR ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE II: 6 (Done with that one forever too ) i didn't manage to arrive that early to class that's why it's only a 6.. lol she wanted everybody to attend her awful classes.. but whatever..

FRENCH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES I: 7,4 (Finished too! not bad for an essay and a exam I didn't even study )


2nd Term New Subjects:

FRENCH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES II: might be the only one that just requires going to class..
SELECTIVE STUDIES OF THE U.S.A LITERATURE II (3 books and an essay)
NORTH AMERICAN LITERATURE I (Prose, short stories I hope!)
NORTH AMERICAN LITERATURE II (Loads of Poems to read and pre-analyse to discuss in class )
CULTURE OF THE COUNTRIES OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE (Mainly of the U.S.A). I bet loads to read too.. as a regular basis homework.


Annual Subjects:

These are the worst of the whole Degree.. gathered up for me this year..


GRAMMAR (most feared subject of the English studies.. easy for me, I just didn't study theory at all... so

1ST TERM: Grammar analysis (failed (it's not like I studied much.. so I can't complain . Although all my 4 Tasks have a 3,6 of 4, and those are kept until I pass the exam to be taken into account in the marks :uff

2ND TERM: Text and Discourse in English Language.. (because every f**cking sentence in a text or act of speech has a communicative purpose and a syntactic form... and I have to study them ALL in this Term...

HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE:

1ST TERM: Old English and Middle English (vocabulary, cases, sentences, translating.. and all that) 8,5
2ND TERM: from Early Modern English to Present Day English (that includes Shakespeare texts)..

ENGLISH LITERATURE II:

1ST TERM EXAM: Poetry and Short stories of XIX century. Yeats, James Joyce, Hardy.. and some more.. Still awaiting results

2ND TERM: English novel!! Romanticism (cool ) and some more .. with HARD TIMES of Dickens to be read with plenty of other stuff to be read before class for discussion too.. )


HISTORY AND CULTURE OF THE ENGLISH COUNTRIES: though is entirely dedicated to Britain... from its very beginnings.. puff.. At least if you go to class and do all the summaries and essays he sends you he doesn't make you go to a final exam of a book of more than 1000 pages.


Timetable: Mondays Wed from 10:00 am til 20:00 pm (1h lunch break)
Tuesdays Thursdays from 13:00 till 20:00 pm (1h lunch break)
Fridays: Off for now.. but that's off to read all books I'm expected to read, and all the essays, and all that..



Conclusion: I won't be here often to THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL YOUR FAVS AND SUPPORT, AND FOR ANY FUTURE COMMENTS . And If I answer any from now till June.. then I'll be being very very naughty.. but it's very likely to happen


Plan to do it: Just attending class.. and doing the homework. And so far.. It seems I only have to truly study Grammar Theory.. (the teacher said to all the class there wouldn't be theory this year, well.. guess what.. the highest ranked and most important question in the exam was theory, to be applied to a certain number of sentences)... I left it to the end.. and in the end.. it was too late and I couldn't make anything up for only 4 minutes left.. so.. I gave up.. . I'm looking forward to see what is he going to tell me on the appointment of the 6th.. , but I didn't want to pass grammar with a low mark anyway.. I'd rather study it a bit.. and get a super grade in one of the hardest of the whole degree. Because I can do it


Thanks for reading.. I hope you understand how my everyday is this year..
