Sux to be you

"Everyday, it's-a gettin' closer, goin faster than a rollercoaster..." Oh yeah, it's all fallin into place. Things are starting to come together, with the tail-end of the year and all the finishing touches on all the work I'm doing. I did the math exam, and I found it to be far from challenging. It's like I'm constantly being informed 'It's not dificult, it's tedious.' And it is. If you want something dificult, you look at English. English is remembering- Math is doing. Physics is remembering, but it's a lot easier then english. In physics, you remember a few basic principals, and the rest sort of flows on. In English (And art), you remember four texts plus a variety of poems and write about how they do or do not show rebellion, or whatever question they decide to ask you. In art, I am required to remember the details and artworks of an Australian artist (Fiona Hall in my case- I respect her, but we'd probably clash if we ever met), AND a historical art movement in a period of history. In our case perhaps the worst possible art movement to have to talk about- Dada. The problem is it's ANTI-art. So we have to look at it from a political standpoint. but you can only look at a photomontage of a womans face on a mans body and say 'This was bought on by the war' so many times before you look like an iddiot.
What irritates me is that people don't recognise exactly how dificult these subjects are. They think math is hard, and what they think about physics-! But dificult subjects like English and especially Music dont' get the recognition they deserve. Personally, I think too many people have it all backwards- When you have the formula, you have the right answer, you get an A. What's the formula for an 'a' grade poetry assignment? Will I get more marks if I compare thee to a summers day? Ora toad? Who knows...

In any case, enough bitching about subject comparison. The other thing that is getting closer is the completion of Phase1. Yes, pre-prodiction asside, soon I'll be able to lauch into TBE, which I'm planing to do after Exams. It doesn't exactly fill me with confidence- There's nothing terribly unique about the story, no new ideas, and there is quite a lot of religious references. Plus its Furre, and if you read down a short way you'll be able to read how well I think THAT'S gonna go. All in all, I'm not filled with confidence that it's any good. But I'm not so sure that's the point. You people out there decide wether or not it's good, me in here just gets the stuff out on paper so it doesn't rise up and choke me. Or so Raf doesn't decide that I'm useless and therefore an uneccesarry burden on the strained resources of the planet.
That's the kind of thing he WOULD say too...
In any case, baring some dialogue re-writing, I'll be starting 'Fox on the Run' after exams. I'll post the URL to the site here when I create it.
