I've realised that I haven't written anything in a LOOONG time and that would be due to the mass of exam STRESS that has been piled upon anyone of school/college/university age including myself.
I know I only have three exams unlike other people I know who have like eight. However all those science and maths exams seem more like memory tests with short questions to answer. It's not like English or Media where you have two and a half hours to basically write two essays worth 40 marks each. They don't have all those case studies to learn about: plays, poetry, novels, films, magazines, advertising; it seems endless!
Sometimes I feel that subjects such as English are so much harder than other subjects but they get so much stick as the soft girly subjects - you have to be smart to do this! And sometimes I worry that I'm not smart enough to do this. Earlier this week I took my AS English for the third time...and even then I have a feeling I got totally the wrong end of the stick on one of the questions (or maybe it's because I'm not the biggest fan of poetry and didn't study as hard).
Either way it's a pain the but that we won't find out how well we did until we get our final grades and by then it's all over. It's too late to do anything about it.
At least I only have two subjects to worry about as Graphics was completed back at the end of March and I think that went quite well considering I did twice as much work as we were meant to. My tutor said '8 boards' as in 8 sides to the project. However I thought he meant '8 boards' as 16 sides. I managed to cut it down to 14 sides by the end of the project and I was very happy with my final images - even if my models do look rather effeminate
I shall return when my exams are over and I am free to write - that is if my brain hasn't been turned to total mush in the meantime...
