I think it says a lot about studying English, too!

Yes, you can tell them you got the word from some medieval literature. Apparently the word does go way back, to the 13th century.

Pity you weren't doing art then just put the name Jackson first and you're a sure fire winner.
Quote: PhQnix @ July 30 2008, 5:05 PM BSTThat's a personal statement in it's purest form.
Absolutely. There are times when nothing but that word will do.
Can I blame Chaucer, Bad dog? I like blaming Chaucer.

Blame 'The Pardoner' and he'll let you off.
Quote: Scatterbrained Floozy @ July 30 2008, 5:03 PM BSTYep!
Well that seems easy peasy. Look, I've already written the most difficult part. You only have to scribble something after each number, now.
Of course you could still ask sootyj to make one of his famous short skits out of it, that will then be performed by various members of the BSG forums before the university admission panel. Admission guarantueed!
I'm not allowed bullet points is the problem; and thus I don't think an interpretive dance/acted piece would fly either! We'd have to be a travelling company if we did try it.

That sounds good, look you're dropping the names of great authors already, how can they turn you down.

I'm so going to try that now!
I wrote my geography teacher a love letter saying I was too distracted thinking about her and it actually fecking worked! She went on about it for years afterwards. I thought she was going to roast me for that!

I might try this technique. Actually all of my teachers are horrible or old men, does it work if you really like your old English teacher who's now left the school? *sigh*
We heard about someone who wrote a song about a geography teacher, and how he "jacks off" (his words, not mine) while thinking about her! He apparently sang it to her, and the whole class, on a school trip!

I thought your year liked the librarian?

My year, not me. The librarian was straight-up-big-tits-in-your-face attractive. My English teacher was intellectually brilliant and quite weird, much more my sort of woman.
