'Like most intellectuals, he's intensely stupid'

i only wrote that last entry this morning

and already, comments!

must be exams

they push students to read random blogs

anyway

was supposed to study for exams today

spent like 2.5hrs studying at the library

methods

[although methods exam isn't till wednesday]

and left literature [tomorrow] and studio art [yr12 subject] till last

we will never learn

then spent the rest of the day watching movies ['chicago' and 'dangerous liaisons'], eating, getting stressed over stupid pimples and of course thinking of how i should be studying

but the movies just went for longer than expected...

anyway

got on to do that last minute studying for literature

we've gotta do two analytical pieces

one on three unknown passages from 1984

and one on a chosen passage from our chosen book [that we used in a previous comparative piece] which will be worth less marks

i am stressed because we only have 1.5hours for this

wen usually, for one piece we have from 2 to 4 periods [100min - 200min]

and now we have TWO pieces with even less time

and the stupid yr10s [my class] have an extra week to prepare

and since the majority of my class is yr10s, our teacher didn't start prepping us for the exam until the last day for yr11s

it's alright for jinali [my fellow yr11] since she doesn't really care and is focusing all her energy on studio art

but i'd LIKE to do well in all

tho i probably won't

since i'm only up to chapter 5 in methods

and haven't even looked at general standard

or vcd

and just skimmed through one booklet for studio today

i think it'd be better if we could type up our literature exam

or maybe not

and the other thing about the yr10s,

noeing them

they'll probably have the smaller part of the exam [the one with the known passage] all written up and memorised so that the only thing they'd have to worry about is the one on 1984

bugger their nerdy-ness

andd

i still don't know exactly which part of my book is my passage

since jinali hasn't replied

so i'm just going to assume

and get some notes done

even tho we're not allowed to bring any notes in

then i will read over my george orwell notes again

before i go to sleep

hopefully i don't sleep in tomorrow

for the formal

i'm thinking of buying a simple black dress that i saw at myer

very plain

but i don't know if i can be bothered looking any more

and maybe i can spice it up with some heels

i don't know if that works or not

uh oh...crick in neck......

also got a toothache again

not good conditions to be in 8hrs before the exam period

gotta...study

goodness me.
yeah, i'm in the same situation as you in literautre...although, i didn't really give a penguin's arse cos i didn't do a practice exam...or a practice plan to hand in to the teacher....
antigone is so....not cool right now.
(mainly cos i wasn't really paying attention in class).
my main concern though is my year 12 subject..but that's understandable right?
and i'm not even doing methods next year....so...yeah.
but you will be alright come exams... i mean, you've already done your stressing now, writing your long blog, so that means you've got a clear head when you get into exams! (that's my mentality...).
anyway, just pace yourself and keep a constant look-out on your watch ..cos time flies before you know it...and then the panic starts.. breathe..remain calm and keep writing... :D

plus, you can think of catching up with us in the hollies! yayayay!

GOOD LUCK!

hehe. your blog has turned into a gathering ground for us who should be studying.. ARGH legal is tomorow and all i am doing is sitting here reading your blog and eating strawberries which i think are mutated because they are WAY too big.

GOOD LUCK FOR STUDIO TOMOROW!!!!!!! we had bill henson as the enlgish topic..not that that helps you in anyway but =D

remember to know exactly what time the exam actually finishes unlike me who rushed and then realised that it finished at 315 not 300 =(

Haha to monica's comment...I remember her saying that today that she rushed then realised she had 15 minutes left XD

Yes..I believe I come to your blog cause I can't be bothered studying..though I really should be studying for Food Tech...there's only one week before the exam nooooooo T_T

I think you are smart and I will do what you did and that is to go to the library to study so I can't get distracted by the laptop or looking for food to waste time...

Yes good idea...have to go to library 2morw and do my math summary and study for food tech.

Okay don't stress too much otherwise you'll get white hair lol....not that it's really a laughing matter =P
