    I always run out of time on essays, I don't understand how they expect us to write a decent well developed story in under an hour. I always end up realising half way into the plot that I'm never going to finish it in time and then I have to end it abruptly with something stupid like "...and then he woke up and it was all a dream!"

    I only got two pages on the day of my exam. I nearly cried coming out of it. But in the end I got 75 marks out of 100, so it wasn't THAT much of a disaster.

    It's actually Aiden Walsh that's repeating, might be where the confusion came from.

    the pressure is definetly on him after his "controversial" explaination of the lottery prediction stunt(which i still believe was done by camera trickery) but if he pulls this one off i'll never doubt him again!
