I just feel a bit dead...........
I wish I could say exams went without a hitch, and although the exact questions I wanted didnt come up I managed to scrape something together and I think I'll be ok.......... But this time I don't think I can. The questions in my Museums and Heritage were pretty much what I wanted, but Civil War were 2 exams sent straight from hell. This is the example from Paper 2, my last ever exam, these are the questions I picked - and struggled majorly with:
2. How successful a levy was Ship Money between 1634 and 1640?
5. In what senses was the Caroline court a model for the wider kingdom?
9. Account for the emergence of a royalist party in 1641-2.
I thought there would be 12 questions to choose from, but there was only 9 :( It didnt help of course that On Tuesday/Wednesday (9th/10th) I went down with tonsilitus, which I'm suffering with again this week, although its starting to clear up now. But 2 days before the 2 most important exams of my life?! Typical. Hoping the concessions form I filled in will help me somehow...... Need all the help I can get. I hate getting tonsilitus, I've had it so many times since I had glandular fever almost 3 years ago, I must have had it about 10-15 times in the last 3 yrs :( I think I must have properly just run myself into the ground stressing over exams, jobs and houses
Exams are now solved, all I can do is wait :s Jobs are ok-ish for now, works offered me full-time for June to cover loads of holidays and stuff, so I've got a little bit of extra time to keep looking. As for houses, its now 24th May. We have to be out of here by 9th June. That gives us 2 weeks. 2 WEEKS?! And we've seen ONE house. Weeks ago. Ali's proposed living with her friend Tom to make things a bit cheaper. Thats fine, whatever. But I don't think she gets how urgent this is. She fucking fannies about in her own little David-centred world, with no idea about the real world. She doesnt seem to get that as of Monday I'm at work 5 days a week, seriously limiting our house-hunting time. This is really stressing me out, and I cant afford for this tonsilitus to come back a 3rd time in a month, work-wise or health-wise. its really fucked me over. But we need to find somewhere to live NOW. If we have to go home, even for a few weeks, that fucks up my work plans, and it makes it a million times harder to all get together and look for houses, it would be impossible actually. I just really don't think she gets how desperate the situation is, and I'm starting to get really pissed off with her about it. I mean where does she think we'll live?! In her car?! In the park?! All she does is fanny about with David and go to her little committee meetings at uni. Er hello, uni is OVER!! This is making me stressed just writing about it. Shes like ok me and Tom will look at houses while you're at work and get second viewings for the ones we like. The ones THEY like?! What about me?! It looks like the only way of doing it though :( I just know how fussy she is though, we'll never bloody find anywhere!! Fucking hell............
Best get on with going up to uni, got to take my library book back and pay the ridiculous fine,check with the Registry if I owe the uni anything, get my graduation stuff from the History Office, and get my Summer Ball ticket (can't believe its Saturday!! How has this happened so quickly?! And boo, I can't drink coz I'll still be on antibiotics :( Got to buy something to wear........ A job for this afternoon maybe :) That cheers me up a bit!!)
