My devious little plan!

Evidently I've sub-consciously chosen Wednesdays to be the day of the week that I update my blog! This week isn't like last week where I had a block, in fact I had loads of ideas!

... and today's post isn't one of them! I will write one on Sunday! My dad has unintentionally given me a new angle to look at it from... so I'm looking forward to doing that!

Anyway so back to the topic at hand. So I have an English exam tomorrow and I'm partially prepared. Firstly, because I have done English of much higher standards while in school (Eliot, Wilde, Yeats, Keats, Auden, Hughes, etc...) and this is just a farce! Secondly, I don't feel the need to please my professor or be a shining student! Thirdly, the lessons are just crap!

For the last 3 days I've been generously giving my time to inconsequential things like watching T.V and surfing the net and watching T.V online! But at some point you've really got to study! One can't fail and look like an ass when English is your forte so to speak! So, quite grudgingly, I picked up my book and began to read the lessons, missing my 11th and 12th grade Optional English classes...

... and then I had this brain-wave!

Why not piss off the examiner! What's there to lose? I'm not going to do well anyway because we've all been told we can't possibly get good marks! So what I'm doing now is finding out all this vague information on each of the authors so that I not only have stuff to write during my paper but also sound totally pretentious and really piss them off! I used to do this for Optional English, except there, my teacher really loved it when you did that!

I know this sounds risky and acting egoistical might cost me the few marks I could get. But look at it from my point of view - English is my best subject, it always has been and I know that I will not do well tomorrow merely because I cannot dumb down to the level they expect me to (trust me. I'm not acting cocky! They really do have low standards, my English teacher says things like "Don't get the BORING with Grammar"). So what I'm actually doing is trying to give the best I can, but I know they'll think I'm way to pretentious. 

But honestly, I'm not pretentious! I just have higher standards than the drab, laid back college that I go to!
