Due to various teachers being ill or skiing (or possibly a combination of both) I only had a quick Physics lesson this morning before going home again. Which is a good thing too, because I’m really tired. So tired my dad beat me at Connect 4!
That’s basically it really.
Have a good weekend!
Special fun extra link… Is this for real?
Just to complete today’s exam story – Physics went badly! I’m confident I’ll have to retake this now in June which I did not want to do, but hey, at least you can retake. And the worst part is that there were two really easy marks which I found out about just minutes afterwards. Oh well, today was just not my day for Physics. I left out too many questions to be able to do well. But although I thought it went really badly, I don’t think I’ll fail, and I’m not actually ‘upset’ upset (like
upset) because it’s only an exam. I’m alive!
Now, to think of something completely different to take my mind of it… [flicks to BBC News]… ooh, nothing much. Small brothels. More paedophiles. A talking parrot. Great.
Did English exam this morning. As usual, I’m pretty bad about judging how an exam went… not a disaster, not the best essay I’ve ever written. I’m not sure – I made a fair amount of points, tried to relate them to the question, shoved in some quotes – we’ll have to see!
Anyway, Physics is at 1.30. It’s a bit more cut-throat than English, if you don’t know what to do you could just freeze. Hopefully that won’t happen ![]()
How valuable is last-minute revision anyway? I’m never sure. Apparently boys cram more than girls. Is it true? No idea. But certainly my blogging style changes when I’m nervous, all these rhetorical questions.
Signing off from the rather ugly IBM computer in the 6th Form area of the library…
This afternoon I found a mysterious letter waiting for me on the stairs.

Inside!
Right, got to revise. English and Physics exams tomorrow. Real AS exams. Good luck to me!
On Friday I was probably the most relaxed I will ever be for an examination in my life – AS ICT. I blogged about the circumstances here but it’s basically my exam ‘on the side’ – I’ve never been to any of the lessons but I have read the book. Anyway, I think the exam (OCR ICT – 2512) went well, especially the question ‘Desribe, with examples, the differences between hardware and software’ ![]()
This weekend I should revise for English and Physics. And I will, I promise! Hence the shortened blog. Respective happy birthdays to Alex Trafford and Nic Parkes though. ![]()
