Ancient Imperialism

Ancient Imperialism may be the worst subject I've ever done - why did I continue it after the three week subject change deadline?

Well... at the beginning of every semester, you feel as though you can accomplish anything. It's the usual 'No sweat, I'll get those assignments in on time this semester, I won't miss a lecture, I'll go above and beyond my requirements and get an H.D average.'

Then you've been at uni for not even half a semester; after the one Easter holiday break it's all nuh-uh sistah, I'm jaded as hell and it's only what? Week six? Maybe we'd be happier about going back after our meagre little 'holiday' if we got as many weeks off as UTS or Mac? I don't know if it's really an incentive to change, seeing as they're both not particularly good universities (although club Mac's Ancient History masters does look really enticing - as does their Egyptology Dept.)... Would I do better if I had a more relaxing break? And by break I mean, more time to do my assignments in? I decided, probably not. The only reason I'd do any better at UTS or Mac would be because their don't have as much expected of them. And would I really be thinking 'oh man, totally want to do that assignment 'cos I'm here at home for an extra week'? No. I really think not.

So, good luck to me and Leanne for tomorrow. We really need it... then we can kiss this sorry subject goodbye.
