I'm so over exams. I had my History exam yesterday morning ... and I failed. Like, literally failed. Because we had to answer two questions, and I didn't know anything about the second question at all, so I was like, "Well, I could just not answer and be blatant about the fact that I have no clue, or I could B.S. a couple paragraphs and it will still be obvious that I have no clue. With option one I can leave the exam half-an-hour early." So I just left the second part totally blank. I can't even bring myself to care that much. At least it's over.
I have Philosophy tomorrow, which I'm not overly concerned about because if I have what I think I have in the class then I can bomb the exam and still pass. I shouldn't bomb it, though, because unlike in History, I actually know what's going on. I've given my notes a cursory glance over, and now I'm going to give The Sarah Jane Adventures a try. This is my study method. Glance over, then relax. I've never hardcore studied in my life. I don't know how, and it doesn't work for me anyway. I think I'm just that kind of person where I either know it or I don't.
Friday I have Sociology. The good thing about Sociology is that I will only have to answer one question instead of two (unlike History and Philosophy). I've got a pretty good handle on Sexuality, and I know Crime a bit, so I should be able to answer at least one of those questions, and again scrape a pass. All I care about is passing, since this doesn't go on my GPA anyway. I've worked out how to make up History online if I flunk, though obviously I hope it doesn't come to that. But yeah, I'm just want this week to be over so I can relax and enjoy the rest of my time here. I still need to go up to Edinburgh and scout out Tom Riddle's grave!
Also, I'm very annoyed that Doctor Who has been switched to a later time, as well as I'd Do Anything. But I'm glad that Ashley has finally been sent home! If Andrew had chosen to save her, I would have been very upset with him! Oh, but I'm also annoyed that the finale of I'd Do Anything is 1 June, the day after I leave! Seriously, what up with that?
