I'm at secondary school, but in what we call over here (and rightly xD) college, meaning I'm doing my A Levels - they take two years, I'm in my second. You do your GCSEs at the end of secondary, and then college isn't compulsory but you need A Levels to get into university. Our year started on 7th September, and it finishes... Ah, depends what you mean by "finishes" and what year you're in. Before GCSE your summer holidays start 23rd July. The GCSE students at my school are off now until ater their exams, with nothing to come in for except revision sessions. I imagine their exams finish sometime around the end of June. We have to come in to lessons until we've had the exam in it - they don't trust us with study leave xD They do strust the year below, though, which is a bit of a bitch, so they're not in either >:(

Well, that was rather overly comprehensive.


I've got English Lit this afternoon, and slept instead of revising. Wish me luck, because I suspect I'll need it xD
No study leave?! You poor people...I've just had two whole weeks with no exams on study leave :D and the GCSE lot have been off for the best part of a month now!

Good luck (even if you're probably already in the exam) :)

World History exam went well. The essays were really easy, but I feel like the second one wasn't well written at all.  :-\

Oh well. I think I did well on the rest, so that's all that matters.

Had my immunology exam today. It went... well, okay I guess. It was hard as heck but I think I should be okay.

Next exam is on Monday and it's the most horrible exam ever. :( I'm scared.

Good luck, Mette. Don't be scared, it just stresses you more!

My typography exam went really really really well. I was an oral exam, with an hour to prepare. This morning we got to hear the the exam had been postponed for an hour and 15 minutes. Which would've meant i had to go in at 4, and I'd be finished by 5:15. I would've been home by 7 then, which is way way way too late for me. So I just went in when I was done revising, and they didn't mind, ha! So I got home half an hour ago :D yaaay!

So, the exam went well, the professor used the words: perfect, great and ended with "this was a really good exam". Then he gave me a home made chocolate muffin. Oh YES! I love my school/professors! :D

^ Thats awesome. Congrats  O0

I've finished my exams now! Yay! Did my exam on 2 and a half hours sleep. I don't think I did well at all but it would have been enough to pass. Plus everyone found it hard so hopefully it get scaled up. Now to catch up on some sleep.

Biology was simple. I finished with a good forty minutes to spare (I drew on my hands in the process).

Tomorrow is Geometry. I'm a bit nervous, but I made some flash cards with what I have trouble with, so I should hopefully be okay.

Oh, you poor thing Sarah! My heart goes out to you, it really does.

My school went bankrupt last year, so they couldn't afford to get more staff or pay my teacher to do the proper amount of lessons - she's head of RE and Philosophy, and teaches both subjects at A Level, GCSE and Year 9. Anyway, as a result we ended up only having three hours a week instead of five, the AS class got two instead of five and the other classes had cover staff almost every week. It was a fucking joke. As a result, we had to choose which parts of the syllabus to actually do because we physically didn't have time to do it all, but luckily our teacher isn't the cunt-face yours clearly is and she did two of four topics in detail and glanced over one and left another, which worked out alright in the end.

Yeah, she's actually a top chap, our Mrs Wray :) I'm terribly fond of her. Yours sounds like a total wankface though. We had all three of our hours together - that's how our college splits things up, into mornings of three hours and afternoons of two, and you do two lessons a day. I quite like it, tbh - it beats having to go on to a different subject when you've only just got your head round the one you're on. But so we had one hour of moral philosophy, one hour of Plato and one hour of philosophy of religion. Worked alright, I guess.

Last exam is tomorrow. I just finished studying... have to get up again at 6am, yay.
I had a few breakdowns today. My last exam should've been today, but some idiots in my class made them replace the exam of 2 weeks ago, to today, because they didn't think they'd have enough time to study for it. While me, and the majority of the class would've had more time to study for it, when it just stayed like it was. And that way, we would've been finished today. Boo.

Luckily, the boyfriend was here to take care of me. Oh well, here goes nothing, I guess.

But first I need to get some sleep!
