Is there anybody doing Catullus at all?? :'

Me!

Any ideas on what might come up for the essays/commentary?

Do you think they might provide a commentary question on more than one, since some of them are so short? As great as Poem 85 is, trying to drag out 25 marks for a 2-line poem....

Not really sure... perhaps something to do with the theme of love? Yeah, they might. Kinda hoping poem 64 won't come up though

Yes, I was thinking something along those lines - plenty of scope to talk about his complaints about Lesbia. Probably give something like that for the broad essay and one fairly long one with enough to discuss for the commentary.

Hoping against the Arrius poem too, hopefully 101 will turn up somewhere

Yeah, I like poem 101

Luckily, I tend to find that there is plenty to talk about with Catullus, it'll just be a question of getting through the Unseen section leaving myself enough time to write and finish both essays

Good luck!

Anyone else so stressed they feel like nothing is going in and just going and hiding under a rock until friday afternoon?

Pretty much...

I have History on Friday too, I just want this week to be over but at the same time never want Friday to come good luck!

I can't bring myself to revise hahah oh god good luck!

Decent enough, it was better than I thought it would be but then again I was expecting it to be terrible. Wish I had more time for the essays but there's only so much you can say in 30 mins I suppose... How about you?

I didn't think it was too bad actually! Although I was dreading the Ovid and I think I made a few mistakes it wasn't as abysmal as I thought it would be. How much did you manage to write for the essays?

I agree! Wasn't as bad as i thought thank god.. Could have done with another 5 mins to properly conclude my final essay though.
