The same - I hate exams

I am genuinely shocked

My hand is killing me! We predicted the poem right but I still don't think it went well, and it just all seemed to not be anough. But our invigilator looked like the woman from Come Outside! I thought it was me being silly, but so many people said it. I'm worried about how many people used to watch it in order to see it...

That programme was immense, we used to watch it during school. It had a dog and a plane! What more does T.V. need?
I know! My friend next to me was like "Oh my God! It's the woman from the show with the dog and the plane!" and I just laughed and was saying "I know! How do you know!?" The teachers didn't seem to care about use still 'being in exam conditions'.

Exam conditions are normally broken for us when someone does something stupid - as a group we can't help but cheer idiocy.
I didn't really feel much pressure when I was doing my GCSE's back in 1999. Now I think back, I don't know why. I think it would worry the hell out of me now.
Nor did I, I didnt bother revising either lol

I know, I think I must be the only person on earth who enjoyed that!
I also liked the lectures on plosives etc (can't remember what the subject was) coz of the comedy value of watching dignified professors making stupid noises!Bad exam result? Pah, don't sweat it, most people are bound to get one or two bad marks. Not so bad if you're doing ok generally is it?
Hahah, yeah, I did Phonology this year instead of syntax. Reading up on it in the library was fun, must have looked like a psycho, gargling and waggling my tongue to myself, saying "r...l...r...l...r...l"!
Yeah, I've got 2.1s in my assignments this year and a 2.2 last year which is worth 40%, I'm pretty much borderline so it was disheartening to get a confusing exam, but we'll see.

Typical boys' school.

Ah I was kidding but it's apparently true! It happens a bit at my collegiate school, but with gossip.

This makes Aaron a sad panda.
Why?

And 'Phonology' - yeah, that's the one!

I tended to do really badly in the compulsory modules which were always really crap and uninteresting (guess that's why they made them compulsory? )
I got 42% for an essay once which came back with more red writing than there was in the original essay! Disheartening would be an understatement, I was really depressed for days about that.
I finished the course with a 2.1 though, and I was happy about that since I never ever expected a first.
How about you? What do you think you're heading for?
