Studying for my English diploma, the writing part.

I've just read Ernest Hemingway's "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and been researching it so I can understand all the themes, symbolism, etc. if I want to use it for tomorrow's exam.

It's a slog. I have to take numerous breaks. I mean, when you get into "Hemingway vs. Camus vs. Fitzgerald in existentialism vs absurdism"...well, I dunno about you people, but it's making my eyes cross.

Ah, the joys of high-school English.

Now what in the hell is a slog? I'm assuming some weird Canadian word.

it's mostly hate. but every so often, he'll teach me a new word or he'll say something that sounds pretty. and then i love him, ever so briefly..
