Death in the form of a take home exam.

I HATE SOCIOLOGY. IT'S A FUCKING PLAGUE. No, actually, it's worse than a plague. What's worse than a plague...? Okay, fine, it's death. Death followed by the butchering of the body parts, followed by burning in hell for all eternity, followed by the unceremonious digging up of the butchered body parts, followed by the consumption of the rotting flesh by a cannibal. Who happens to have a plague. That's what sociology is.

You'd think that a take home exam would be easier. Well, at least I thought that a take home exam would be easier. But in reality, it's not. In reality it's death followed by the butchering of the body parts, followed by burning in hell for all eternity, followed by the unceremonious digging up of the butchered body parts, followed by the consumption of the rotting flesh by a cannibal who happens to have a plague.

I'd rather have a normal exam, I think. Just cos you do it, and then it's over. You can't get up from doing a normal exam and go "I think I'll go check my facebook now, and come back and finish this later". You can't get up from a normal exam and go type up a blog entry just cos you can't be fucked putting in the effort just at the moment. Hell, you don't have to use full referencing in a normal exam. My take home exam questions came out on friday, and they're due on wednesday. As of now, I've written two incomplete piece of shit introductions for two separate questions, and have NO idea what I'm talking about. So now all I have to do is finish the two essays I started, write two more, and then I'm done. Joy. Granted, they don't have to be too long [600-900 words each], but the questions are all horrible. For example, the one I was trying to do just before I decided I didn't want to think about it any more was: "Race, Ethnicity and nation are often understood as social and political constructs whose membership and meaning are shifting and contested. Critically discuss this claim with reference to contemporary Australian identity". I swear to god my brain shut off as soon as I saw the word 'political' thrown in there ==" *bashes head against keyboard* Not to mention that half the questions want you to relate things to contemporary Australian society. GAH >_<""""""""

I should probably go now... I've had my mini rant. If I pass this exam I'm going to be ridiculously proud of myself.
