    Default I hate exams

    I hate exams, I really do, I revise the wrong things, I get into the exam and forget half the answers, I write the shortest answers possible and somehow I don’t know I’ve managed to pass every one of them so far.
    I’ve just finished my first year exams at uni, and I did all that I described at the top.
    Thank you for letting me get that of my chest.

    On the up side I have two weeks before I go home so yay.

    Just stick it out. If it's exam time, you know you're almost done and can look forward to a nice long break. Mine just started today.:)

    Exams are the easy option if you have done all the work, attended the lectures and seminars, and written up good notes, then the revision comes easy. I'd rather do an exam than prepare and write a major essay if I was looking for the easy way out. However, essays are ultimately more rewarding.

    I had my last one today. I'm so glad to be free. Don't worry, it stinks now, but it's going to be so much better when you're done.

    I had my last two first year uni exams yesterday and I was very relieved after I completed them as me and my mates were shi..ing ourselves to put it mildly, as we have literally been to 0 lectures, seminars and revision classes. Good old general political knowledge might have seen me through though, that and the ability to mass cram and blag it!

    I promise second year I will do more work, I promise second year I will do more work, I promise second year I will do more work, I prom....

    So I tell myself anyway!

    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    My Exams have just started this week, just had Religious Studies, easiest A i ever got :D

    the finish on the 28th june, then I have a 10 week summer holiday
    When I was a child
    I caught a fleeting glimpse
    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now
    The child is grown,
    The dream is gone.
    I have become comfortably numb...

    10 week? KWC only gets 8 weeks! You lucky bugger...

    I just finished my Spanish GCSE. I think that I easily got an A* due to the fact that I used to live in Spain.
