For one moment let me talk about my exams. This is my blog after all...
1. Scholarship English - yeah, why do I submit myself to the writing of MORE essays? Unknown. However, I actually enjoyed writing my three essays... and yes. I actually finished three. Crazy? Wha? Section A was about sadness. Boo hiss. For section B I wrote about my speciality text - Shakespeare - Much Ado cross between Othello via Twelfth Night. Section C was awesome. It was really fun to write about society and feminism and I managed to incorporate Doom into the essay. Ah Doom, what a game.
2. Economics - had this one in smelly ST1. Cold, damp and full of sneezing people. Four papers which seem to be the same level two papers but worth more credits. Sweet deal. Finished with half an hour to spare. Sat there seeing how many words I could make with the alphabet seating letters on the wall. (Admit it, you've played this game...)
3. Classics - better than I expected. I actually failed to study for this whatsoever. Honestly. I skimmed a book and banged it to my head a few times in an attempt to absorb information through osmosis but other than that. Yeah. Fail study. Regardless, I actually managed to finish the exam thanks to my greatly honed 'blagging' skill - thanks Nealie.
4. Drama - super fun as per usual. An Inspector Calls directed by Stephan Daldry was the topic of our 'unfamiliar text'. Really amazing production. It looked like a film. Anyway, for once, I didn't use up all the extra space. Nellie has taught me to be succinct. I will be succinct forever more.
5. History - was funny because I was two sessions behind. I got some decent 'help' from my friends (I get by with a little hep from my friends). Essays were OK. Special mention to Sarah Woolley for having "wildest, most visionary, most impractical scheme" stuck in her head. Amazing Sarah Woolley. Those scholarships are ours OK? <3
6. Scholarship History - quite bearable. Think about it like this: all information is given to you, you just add a teensy bit of your own and proceed to writing a six page article based on a thesis. Not so hard. Like Geo Schol. but cooler. I went there. I respect and love you Geographers. Young Historians has a nicer ring. ;) Special mention to Mr. Edward Hunter-Higgins because he really wants one and right about now is a good place to put him. I feel that sitting behind him allowed me to absorb the 'drag' of his knowledge as it flowed from his brain... Yes. Acknowledged.
For one second I'm going to stop talking about me. It was Ben's birthday on Saturday and this is my photo of the blog. Credits to Jana Nee of course. Happy birthday my brother! Team UF :)
Additionally, have a great rest of the year. So many things to do still. Remember. It's the last set of exams you Year 13s will ever sit. Sadness. Happiness. What the hell?-ness.
