my evenings are spent at this desk, pen poised above paper as i write out notes, LEARNING, not revising, for my exams. piles of paper covered in various-coloured felt tip bullet points. flicking between myspace and several different revision sites. one exam down, three to go. to put it more realistically, one module down, seven to go. i don't know how any exam board expects you to remember quotes and information for two different pieces in one exam, let alone shakespearean quotes. all this olde worlde stuff gets me in a tizz. WWI went okay. (i mean the exam not the war. hahaha.) the first question i did pretty well, because it was just comparison and i'm pretty good at that when i put my mind to it. the second question is the hard one because you have to put all your wider reading - aka memory - to it. quotes from this and quotes from that. it's bloody hard. i don't think i did so well on that question.. but hey. whichever mark i get, i got it within maybe two days solid learning/revising (call it what you will.) and i only need to go up one grade in english and one grade in film to get into roehampton. i'm sceptical of my ability to do it, mainly since i started revising for tuesday's exam. two exams, two modules in each. how can i do this? alas i must try.. and i suppose it is only one grade. that amounts to sixty marks for english, eighty marks for film. monday's exam alone was worth 40 marks in total. i can do this, right? i'm not stupid. just lacking in wider knowledge. i'll do my best. although saying that, i'd say i probably only got around 15-20 marks on monday. forty marks left, and i was more prepared for that exam than this one. try as i might i cannot remember a single qupte from neither blake nor shakespeare. BOLLOCKS.
diane lloyd died in holby city. i'm not impressed, she's the best person on there. yeah, i'm sad.
