OMG.....Im so glad Im not doing Wuthering Heights again. I did it in yr11 as one of my supp texts. Never again!

Anyway...Im doing Coleridge, Brave New World and Bladerunner, King Lear and Frontline. For ext, Im doing Crime Fiction but Im sorta dissapointed that the eng department at my school is so conservative in all but one ext class doin crime fiction.

English Texts

English (Advanced)
AOS: Physical - Peter Skrzyneci Immigrant Chronicles
Module A: Hamlet and Rosencratz & Guildenstern are dead
Module B: Wuthering Heights (apparently we'll love it)
Module C: Geoffrey Robertson's 'The Justice Game' (it seems most schools do Frontline, though our teacher is imposing on us the Justice Game instead because she likes it more, and it's easier - or so she claims.

Ext. Eng 1
Genre - Spec. Fiction
Lord of the Rings 1
Dune
The Handmaid's Tale

I'm damned. I hate sci-fi and fantasy, yet this genre forms the basis of my Extension course for the next year. I wish we were doing 'the Individual & Society' instead as they had originaly proposed, but because I go to a science/maths/nerd school, no one would probably appreciate Pride & Prejudice anyway.

I hate science, and theoretically Maths too - but our Maths teacher bakes us cookies!

Some Kid Received Zero Yesterday and then necki

SKRZYNECKI

i dunno, i thought it was a cool way to learn it. god knows it helped me write his name out nine times in my exam

Exactle the same without the extensions.

As for spelling skrzynecki, its just 'sky' (with a 'rz' before 'y'), then 'necki'

Skrzynecki, Peter.
