My supervisor sat down beside because she thought I was crying :pac:

Although I was choking/dying rather than crying and it just brought water to my eyes.

If that was my supervisor she'd have been all like up in your face "stop making noise", "your cheating" "your distracting people".

My ones okay but she makes you stay right until the end. My last one last year was so lovely and you could leave when you were done.

Ours is graaand and so un-distracting, problem is we can hear everything the one next door says and she kept making announcements and got them to finish with a few minutes to go

I drink water, but just a small bit, won't have time to take a toilet break.

We have a nice supervisor. She probably thinks I'm mad though, lots of calculator shenanigans and reading the essays to myself (silently, obvs, its to pick out mistakes!)

Did anyone ask for graph paper or log tables during English today?

rusty_racer94

Is it only my school or the box with log tables is numbered as '1234'.
PS: I couldn't finish the paper today and only did 8 pages for Text 1 & 2 and one page for Section II. My life is meaningless.

Anyone know how many poems is mandatory? My teacher said 4 but I heard on that 606 thing that for Plath you must do 6. Anyone clear this up?

Our supervisor would probably get the graph paper and the log table and ram them down the persons throat. Seriously, horrible woman.

My ones a bit of a cow, asked her if I could go out and put a copy under my table cus it was wobbly and she was like JUST HOLD THERE FOR A SECOND OK. She moved me, new desk was wobbly :L

Link to posts, not to pages ... I'm set for 40 posts per page, so there's only 142 pages in this thread as yet!

Anyway, I went back and read more thoroughly, and I'm presuming it's the Cobain / Nirvana / short story thing?

What exactly was the question / title you were responding to? (I haven't seen the full paper yet).

It's a few years since I corrected LC Eng HL, and they've tweaked things since ... but I do think you're likely to lose marks if you've obviously based a short story per se on the events of a recognisable person's life.

If you had based it on events in your own life / a neighbour's / whatever, it is unlikely that anyone would have been any the wiser, but Cobain / Nirvana and named as such is going to be familiar to any examiner.

How much, I honestly couldn't guess ... as I say, they've tweaked the approach to marking a fair bit in the interim.

Do ye think I'd be okay just learning Plath, Rich & Heaney tomorrow? One of them is guranteed to appear?
Also, I HATE the question on soliloquies & the role of women, deception will hardly show?
Good luck to everyone tomorrow

Diamondsandrose

Lol at people who aren't allowed out early! Jesus for maths I'll be done in an hour, reeeally bad at it btw, not outstanding and efficient!

I do 5 for each. I think 5 is pretty safe to be honest.

You can technically do as many as you want, but 4 to 6 is the recommended amount. You'll be fine with four.
