May. 16th, 2005 02:50 pm*read through questions for assignment*
I had forgotten why I don't want to do this assignment. I suddenly remembered. AHH. *shudders*
Every single question is completely over the top oh my incredibly hard for a first year subject. Whoof. At least I have an extra week.
Am leaving in half an hour to buy jeans. I neeeeeed things to wear on my legs. Long things. Like, more than one pair I can wear in public. Not short skirts. For example, the one I'm wearing right now. Am v glad it didn't storm and only hit 24 today. Otherwise I'd be in serious trouble. I've been warm all day, so it's worked well. However, it will not be warm all winter. Sadly.
In other news...I'm still sick. Earache, sore throat, coughing, the headache from hell. Yayness. *rubs eyes*
...
Wow, I can *whinge*. It's a western art form, I tell you.
Ok, so if I work out my mark, I can work out just how much work I need to do on this assignment. Assuming I get 15/15 for participation, and I got about 14/20 (something like that...a credit, at any rate), that puts me on 29/35 - 82%, which is a high 6 (distinction) so far. So I need to do well in this assignment to keep it. Crap. And the exam is 35% which is the most heavily weighted piece. Bugger.
I have chosen to do the assignment on the idea that a nation is an 'imagined community'. ( Actual essay question if you're really that interested... ) This is very true for alot of Asia in the 16-19th century, which is nice. And I have lots of resources at the moment. Which is also nice. But I have a lot of work to do, which isn't so nice. Wah.
ETA - Haven't decided between Indonesia or Meiji Japan...
ETAA - Having reviewed all the information/resources, I may change topic to communism and democracy in China - to what extent was the communist regime in China democratic? Have to define democracy though...hmm. I like that one better, I think.
