    Don't worry about it, they mark positively (i.e they reward you for all the hard work you've done, instead of deducting for things you didn't pick up on) so you will probably be pleasantly surprised when you get your results! :)
    Hehe! Hopefully the examiner will see I know my stuff ;). :) It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but the personal writing was a kick to the groin as I didn't have a suitable topic for my learnt essay XD.

    The fella' who was supervising us kept pouring mugs of tea for himself and he ate a whole packet of biscuits, funniest thing I've ever seen! It was a total distraction to us all but sure I laughed about it.. Others were raging! It was hilarious. The guy just didn't give a ****.

    Just got back there. Absolutely thrilled with how it went! Paper one went smooth, I loved the comprehension and the functional writing. I did the restaurant review for the functional writing. I did the newspaper on the media studies which I liked apart from part c which was just annoying! :L I was very disappointed with the questions for personal writing! I thought it was a terrible selection! I did question 7 and it went okay :) just made it up :L none of that learned off malarkey!!

    I loved paper two. I thought it was lovely.. Shakespearean drama was a bit tough but I got through it. I loved that you only to answer 2 out of the 3, I did the first two.. For studied drama I did the scene and wrote about the balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet :) we did a similar question in class last week so I loved it :D unseen poem was nice and uncomplicated :P studied poetry I did question two because tbh I was too lazy to do question one on two poems :P I did it on the unrequited love of 'He wishes for the cloths of heaven' by yeats :) loved getting to show off the poetic techniques in part b :D I really liked the unseen fiction :D I thought it was nice :D I did the second question for studied and loved it! My letter was 2 A4 pages because I wasn't sure how long is was supposed to be! Anyways I feel really positive about the exam as a whole :) we'll see how I do on the 12th of September (I think?) :)

    Congratulations to everyone :D ye did superb :)

    I'm on the top right hand corner of the school gym, I could basically bring in my own notes in my sock and pull them out in the exam and nobody would notice. I'm that far away from people :p

    What ??
    I think I did it wrong
    I wrote about how I entered the restaurant and got shouted at for no reason by one of their emplyees and how they wasted my time and I asked for a table and he did not give me one for no reason.
    Ohhh.....

    Understandable isn't a word I usually associate with Shakespearian drama :P I said she's direct, sure of herself and strong.

    I'm seated at the very front right beside the superintendent..but it's good if I need paper or something like that. He seems nice.
    For my personal writing I picked 'Terrifying things people do everyday' and wrote about two geisha who fall in love with each other.
    For the newspaper article I wrote about a mass suicide. Does "Exam students commit mass suicide" sound like a broadsheet heading?

    I said she was humerous and sassy :L I didn't really know what to say but said she was sassy because of how mean she was to your man and humerous becaus of her joke about crying in the corner :P
