A little dose of Morality and Maths to get things going.

And so another two exams have been completed. To my utmost delight one of which was my Maths M4 paper which intended to be one of the hardest exams I would sit, however I survived. I didn't break out in a cold sweat when I read the questions or forget how to use the square root button, or somehow lose the square root button on my calculator (it's happened before). Although the dreaded wobbly desk that seems hell-bent on following me around the large assembly hall with hundreds of desks, did once again find me. This time though I did have a nice neighbour who helped me to swap desks with an unoccupied one without the drama and noise and scrapping along the floor that usually occurs if you decide to take on this task single-handed.

The smell of freedom was brilliant walking out of the exam hall. It was like two large boulders had been taken off my shoulders. OK, I do have another Maths exam but it isn't for a while yet and so I need not worry.

The R.E Morality paper was pretty easy as always. It's the sort of paper everyone loves. There are no right or wrong answers. So long as you can back up your points with relevant evidence then you're grand. In this years exam the main topics covered were; abortion, crime, marriage, christian family and parenting. So as they say, It was all good in the hood.

HOWEVER tomorrow I have my single most dreaded exam. English Literature. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE books, I read a lot. But this exam is enough to make you want to burn every book in sight. You have to sit in the same place for 2 and a half hours. You have to write so hard you get hand cramp within 10 minutes of beginning the exam. Not to mention the fact that the novel that I have to study has been read and analysed so much that it's just taking the micky out of it. In my opinion I think that Golding wrote 'Lord of the Flies' to just be a novel, other people looked in to the story far too much =P.

Also I am examined on the play 'Our Town' by Wilder and 15 poems that have been read analysed and read again and analysed some more.
AHHH.

So that's 2+1/2 hours, one novel, one play and 15 poems.
50 minutes each.
3 essays.
Help.

Ok so my poetry anthology book is screaming for me to learn the contextual evidence for 'Shall I Compare Thee' by William Shakespeare.

So with that I bid you farewell.
I may not survive past this exam tomorrow
Hopefully I will.
Fingers crossed.

Jules.
