"This chair does not belong"

Hey there Mozart. :) It's Bach.
I am in a completely different era than you and Chopin...I do not belong. :'(

I don't even know why, who or how this is going to help in the future. If I didn't have such a great teacher, I'd go beserk. She's freakin' helping us out with our related texts! But yeah, I'm pretty sick of Belonging already.

Making snide comments about the subject/topic/AoS softens the pain just that little bit to get through the day. :)) & yeah, hey chocolate monster.

We did "the outsider" in year 11.
Was sick of the whole concept by term two of year 11

I'm actually not minding it at this stage, I don't see everyone's problem. It is so much better than Journeys

It's too vague for my liking
Vague is good - it means it's easy to twist whatever question they throw at you ^^

I remember how i hated belonging, now it just comes up in conversation as a joke and reminder of the horrors of HSC English :D

It's also annoying post-HSC. I still absent mindedly analyse the techniques in the movies I watch and relate it to belonging although it's becoming less and less frequent now.

Eggsactly.

The good thing is it's easy. That should outweigh any sort of qualms you have.

Our school won't do it until next year because as it's 40% of the mark, doing it in an 8-9 week term would be "silly".

Looks like I have a great next year to look forward to...

It's not the hardest of the units, in fact I'd say it's probably the easiest. I did Belonging back in T4 and the whole of this year pretty much sucked.

i feel the same way. i thought i'd hate it, but i really don't think it's that bad... definitely a hell of a lot better concept than journeys or change.
