I thought I'd make a thread for this because for students like me, this is one of the happiest times of the year. I'm heading home tomorrow and to boot, all my exam scores turned out fantastic (2 A-s, 2 As, and one B+).
Who else is happy?

I still have one final, tomorrow morning. No idea what's going on, and I'm starting to halucinate.

I've got five exams next week, and then I'm done.
I am going to be drinking a lot.

School for me ends exactly three weeks from now, except it's not all a bed of roses. The headmaster came into Physics class today to remind us that our official Science, Art, History, Geography and Basic Economics exams were only 100 days off. One hundred days. I just hope it won't be my Waterloo at the end of it.

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.
Re: Exam Ending/Summer Celebration Thread
I just had my first two exams today...History: Life in Authoritarian Regimes, which was pretty easy because the question was all about the economics and educational policies in Hitlers Germany, and i'd been revising that constantly for about a week...I also had my first General Studies exam, which was so easy it's laughable...as long as you have an opinion on something you can pass Gen.

Thursday is my RE GCSE exam. Then next week the REAL exams begin. RE is not a real subject.
Re: Exam Ending/Summer Celebration Thread
Wow, reading this thread I almost wish I was doing exams again. Or at least got to stop work for the summer, anyway.
Good luck to you all anyhow.
