		<description><![CDATA[here’s something incredibly artificial about VCE English. As one who actually enjoys writing, I’ve found the parameters of the course – in particular the Exam conditions – to be unnecessarily limiting. In the real world, people are rarely given one hour to write a brilliant piece of literary genius. In the real world, few people take the time to sit down and nitpick about the persuasive techniques used in a given. I see English in the real world like a sponge. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I would suspect that many people – more people, at least, than for other courses – go into an arts degree without knowing why. They drift into it because they don’t know what else to do. They’re not very self-organised and so it doesn’t prove to be all that worthwhile for them. Hence the perception that arts degrees are useless.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[‘...readers are often poorly served when an author writes as an act of catharsis, as I have done here. But I hoped something would be gained by spilling my soul in the calamity’s immediate aftermath, in the roil and torment of the moment. I wanted my account to have a raw, ruthless sort of honesty that seemed in danger of leaching away with the passage of time and the dissipation of anguish.’

– John Krakauer, Into Thin Air –]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One day at a time. Supposedly that’s the only way to get through year 12 with your sanity intact. Maybe that explains why I sometimes have to question if my sanity is intact. Relatively of course, I really can’t complain. The vast majority of my time in the past view months has been pretty easy-going. But even when the workload is ‘off’, the pressure never is.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a deep passion for the humanities. I love the richness of the English language and the power of words in conveying meaning, emotion and influence. I love to question the world around me philosophically and muse over why humans act the way they do. I draw inspiration from history for reflection on the present. Man alive, do I love the humanities!

 So, I guess the natural university degree for me to enrol for would be arts degree, right?]]></description>
