i spoke too early

introduction to politics totally disappointed me. i was really prepared for this one. had my topics all worked out. and they were topics that came out every year for the past FOUR years! then ben rosammond (module professor) decides to remove RIGHTS, JUSTICE, CONSERVATISM from this year's paper. well let's see...i was banking on RIGHTS, JUSTICE, CONSERVATISM and feminism, with backup topics marxism and nationalism. so what did i end up doing? feminism (the qn asked about LIBERAL FEMINISM which is hmm let's see...just about the SMALLEST branch of feminism with almost NOTHING to talk about?); marxism (the qn asked about marxist THEORIES OF THE STATE which hmm let's see....is just about the SMALLEST aspect of marxist theory with almost NOTHING to talk about?); nationalism, which was my backup topic anyway so i wasn't as set on doing that; and for the last one i was really pressed to pick one. there were tonnes of questions on stuff like institutions, democracy and relative properties of these institutions, so i had to settle for globalisation and the state which was a WORLD POLITICS topic?! how much can u intend to fuck up students' exams? gawd i still can't believe there wasn't justice, rights and conservatism. i literally spent 10 minutes flipping those 3 pages over and over trying to see if i had miss out any of my 3 pet topics. it was HORRIBLE.

rather demoralized for politics papers atm. shall take the night off. i just wanna press the reset button that says 'summer'. can totally see myself relaxing in eastern europe now. a seriously much deserved rest. 1 month plus of intensive studying is no joke. have pity man...i haven't sat for exams in 2 years! it's all too harsh..at least i'm almost assured a first for math and cda. i rather have assessed essays for politics. ugh. 6 days till i can breathe, 12 days till i'm free. =/
