Fucking read the first chapter. I was like "Fuck this". Just using other people's notes as a study tool for this shit as text.

Belonging - Emily Dickinson's poetry: A fair few times.
Mod A - Richard III and Looking For Richard: Got up to the 2nd last act in Richard III, couldn't do it anymore. Watched LFR twice.
Module B - Speeches: Read Atwood's speech a few times as well as Keating's. All the rest, at least once, at the most, twice.
Module C - True History of the Kelly Gang: read it once. Couldn't bring myself to read through all the horrible grammar again.
