Sweetdang Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I studied ancient civilazations last year. Thought it was DEAD boring until EOYs last year - when I rewrote the whole textbook. Then I realised how fascinating it was. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I wish we had covered more of the areas of history that were of a huge interest to me, like ancient Egypt, but most of my history classes focused on early North American history, or renaissance era Europe.

Syrin of Neopia Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Just a random jump in: I love mythology! It was always one of my favorite things to study & still is . . . too bad my university doesn't offer a lot of mythology or religion courses . . .

Spritzie Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I've always thought mythology was fun. The stories are so detailed. Greek has always been my favorite. Not to mention how many things are taken from Greek mythology. (Or the Roman versions of Greek mythology.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetdang Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I love greek mythology! I've read most of them... an extensive research of all the tales. Amazing. :) When we do Shakesphere in class, lots of people don't get the greek allusions, then I feel like a major nerd. :O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I never liked studying Shakespeare. I couldn't get past the language used, it made it too difficult to enjoy for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xox__saraa Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I loved studying Shakespeare in school. It was definitely my favourite part of my drama and English classes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruka Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Oh, Shakespeare! I remembered a couple of months ago I had lessons on 'The Tragedy of Macbeth' by him in my Literature class! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetdang Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I like Shakespeare. :) I'm fluent in English so when I read Shakespeare, it all makes sense to me. I can speak like that, too. :P Something to do with the bible being written like that, too, I guess - And i read that lots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrin of Neopia Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I'm taking a Shakespeare class in the spring, the classics only I believe. I'm very much looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noog Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 If you can understand what you're reading, then Shakespeare is amazing. :) Beware the Ides of March! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachiee Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I feel like I'm the only person here who hasn't read anything by Shakespeare. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Lyuba Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Shakespeare? I LOVE theatre so I have a huge respect for Shakespeare. I'm all about him! Oh yes, brings back memories of high school productions of Twelfth Night and the unameable play. Better cut me off before I start going on and on about them! :wub_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khaos Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I feel like I'm the only person here who hasn't read anything by Shakespeare. :P No, you're not. :P Oh God, I left my Science book in class, and I have homework for the class. x_x I thought I had it in my bookbag because it wasn't in my locker, now I cant do homework. Maybe one of my friends can tell me the questions (it is only 3 questions) and I can do it. :) What do (did) you do if you forgot your book?

The Meepit Commando Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I call a friend, if not then I do it in lunch if is for hours 5 and 6, if not than in I do it in class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachiee Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 If you left your book at school, my only advice is to call a friend and have them tell you the answers to the questions and then when you come back and get your book you can read the part you needed to read and verify your answers? Sorry for the big run-on sentence and the fact that I suck at giving advice but it's been a while since I last left any of my books at school :| Speaking of homework, I'm already missing two homework assignments for French class. We also have a project coming up where you have to describe your family or friends as well as add pictures and I seriously don't want to do it...but I have to. I honestly cannot stand projects (in any class) that ask you to describe and/or add pictures of your family or friends, especially the family part. Maybe it's because I don't have enough pictures of my family or friends, and all the pictures I do have are terrible. Plus, what is it with teachers (especially foreign language teachers) and wanting to know more about my family and/or friends? All they need to know is that I have a mom and a dad and a brother and you know most of my friends already but I should mention that they're smart, pretty and slightly nerdy. Simple as that. Now give me my A+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noog Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 lol, I know what you mean! My spanish teacher had us do projects describing our family and even made us do a family tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetdang Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I've never done any of that in my life. Thankfully :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedhaun Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I can say the same here. I only took Spanish in 7th grade, and my Spanish Teacher never made me do a family tree. Speaking of foreign language classes that I took in middle school, I really liked Portuguese better than Spanish, hence the fact that most of the words are the same in either language. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetdang Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 i never took any language except for english and chinese. Oh, the joys of chinese! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruka Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I only know English and Malay. :P Learning a bit of Chinese here and there from my friends, and maybe when I'm older I want to learn Japanese and Korean. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetdang Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Oh, no, she self learnt. She can read all characters, but not what they mean. A little like our alphabet, their characters. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruka Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Same as my younger sister (who is 12)! But she learned from her Korean classmate... lucky her! <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
