    I have the nicest fella EVER!

    Get this:

    In english today, i stopped to some up for air. Hand was crapping etc so i was flexing my hand.
    My desk in centimeters away from his desk, i am square right in front of him.
    He saw me rubbing my arm and came up and offered me his pen! So sweet! He said my pen was " a killer of a pen" and that i ought to take his pen since it was much "softer".. and so i did! And jesus the difference was shocking. Made some dif on my Mahon spiel.

    Lovely guy!

    He has been robbing sweets from us too..
    And cracking jokes with me, just pure lovely!

    The first morning he spent it trying to chill us all out, words of wisdom .. blah blah blah.

    Couldn't get a nicer guy . Bless. :rolleyes:

    Last year I pelted our supervisor with a paper airplane...he didn't do anything...sound enough. I wasn't aiming for him, it was the History exam, and I was finished, so I was bored, and made the airplane and aimed it at this ginger in my class.

    How many supervisors fall asleep during the exam? That's mad! I'm definitely applying to do it next year, catch up on my sleep.

    My guy spent today laughing at me, i used about ten extra sheets in maths. Asked for the first one at 10.20, he wrote 11 on it because "no one would believe you needed extra paper at that time", but i freaked out, thought i'd been reading my watch wrong

    Hi all,

    just woundering what your supervision is like?
    mine seems lovely, and is doing everything accurate!

    but i heard someone else say theirs kept opening the door and chatting to the person outside!
    so like it was possible to chat!

    also, any special requirments people in their own somewhere?
    there's a girl pregnant in my school and she's on her own!

    i wouldn't like that i think !

    thoughts / views... :)
    my supervisor is a legend.we chat all the time, even during the exams.Great Fella!!

    Our examiner is soooooooo nice

    He allowed alot of the girls stay in an extra 15 minutes to finish up their maths!!

    Hope he does the same for History.. that would save my life!!!!

    Our examiner seemed a bit uptight on the first day. A person who was doing a scribe for one of the LCs came into the room and asked for an ordinary paper, and he turned around to her and goes please was the word you were looking for!! She, a person I never really liked took complete offense, and he started to ask her to treat him like an adult. We were in stitches, since we had her for supervision and we didn't really like her.

    Haven't seen her again, she goes down to a different room now for the paper!!!

    Yesterday, he brought in a mini kettle into the exam, and about half way through he started boiling it, then stopped it for five minutes and boiled it again. We all thought he was off his head a bit. But today, he was really nice, he has this habit of looking at we are writing, and he helped two of the ordinary level students. He started talking to me during geography about what questions we do - lovely bloke really, just has a few annoying habits like chewing and crunching the hard foxes sweets!!!

    There's three supervisors as we're all in the hall, my guy's sound. He seems to be in charge of our school quite often, he was there last year too (I did attending). He's lovely though, really funny too. After handing out all the pass maths papers (only like...3 of our 'group' were doing honours) he called us all cowards :P

    One of the supervisor's a right such-and-such though...she makes insane amounts of noise just doing nothing. She turned around to me before Geography after I'd been reassuring a friend that it'd be grand and said something like 'No, it's going to be a very difficult exam!'. I dunno how serious she was, she walked away when I started laughing...

    Ours is this oul lad, he's grand, wishes us luck before every exam. He's a bit slow and always starts handing out the papers at the other side of the room so they get a considerable extra start, and he makes some hell of an amount of noise chewing his biscuits, but who doesn't. He attaches our graphs for us, and on the first day he sealed everyone's scripts personally..in case we didn't catch on how to do it. He was nice about me stealing his log tables too.

    He seems pretty popular, all the oul fellas from the other exam rooms are always stopping in for a gossip.

    Does everyone else find the ritual of coffee or tea and biscuits for the supervisors absolute torture? In English yesterday morning the smell of coffee drifted all over the room. i want to grab the mug from his hands and down it, such is my caffeine addiction! And then he got a lovely iced bun!

    All I had was a bottle of water:(

    But supervising is so boring! The coffee is the highlight of the exam.



    Today I was brought lemonade in a wine glass.

    Ours is annoying, she never stops going to the door to talk to the girl outside and doesnt even whisper when shes talking to her. Always complaining if people are even a minute or two late as well.

    Shes sound enough though, not overly strict or anything

    Our guy said a prayer with us before the exam, and kept going on about how great the change in timetable was and how we should all just relax. Very nice.

    Snapped at me a bit tho. He was handing out the papers, so naturally, I'm very eager to begin, and start reading the comprehensions...

    "I DON'T REMEMBER TELLING YOU TO OPEN THE PAPERS!!!"

    :o

    Hey Diarmsquid, saw this post in The Times today
