Arts pwns all other degrees in terms of their interesting titles. Next semester I'm doing the Anthropology of Food

  wow, what an unexpected post


   Still, nice to know you think about me droodles

arts is pretty cool. I would probably have done arts if I hadn't already sold my soul to maths. some of the subjects mentioned here lack practicality, which is a plus. unfortunately, pure maths is even less practical so I'm still all for maths

[bubble sunglasses]

really?? Less practical than analyzing Un Chien Andalou???

    Well worth a watch

Looks like the arts disciplines are the most "politically correct"

earlier this week in a physics lecture.. the lecturer used the fries joke on arts students! ill try get a hold of the slide.

[ninwa]

I had a lecturer come in and make snide comments about arts every 10 fucking minutes on Friday ... and she wasn't even a law lecturer, just a librarian

She'd say stuff like "tertiary sources are not good enough for law essays .... they're good enough for arts though but we expect a much higher standard from law students"

SCREW YOU LADY grrrrrrrrr :tickedoff:

I've found arts to be quite demanding, actually. It is certainly easy to pass, but to do well the work has to be fairly awesome.

Just remembered something from Deakin Open day.

All the faculties were acting normally except for the Arts faculty :S
They kinda scared me actually. They were singing like they were drunk when they were obviously not, and being retards... like it was really a dent on the whole day. It wasn't even fun to watch cause they just looked like idiots.

I realise not all Arts students are like that but I will never forget the faculty who ruined my Deakin experience.

Ah, Un chien Andalou. That movie is strangely interesting. Love it to bits.
