Exams to date have been the absolute pits!
Let's start from the beginning shall we?
- Thinking Skills Paper 1 & 2 : Nobody really gives a shit cos it's a crappy subject.
- Literature Paper 4 : Macbeth by Shakespeare & The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams
What to say about those 2 papers. Macbeth was okay I suppose because I amazingly managed to figure out what was coming out. Glass Menagerie in general is a fucking stupid, irritating book. And the questions sucked, so it just made it a bitch altogether.
- Literature Paper 6: Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys & Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? by Edward Albee
I feel like crying just talking about it. The open ended questions were so vague, and the scenes they gave just generally sucked like hell. For those of you who haven't read them, Wide Sargasso Sea is a response to Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, and Jean Rhys is a stupid old Creole hag who wrote that book to piss me off. And the Edward Albee book has got absolutely nothing to do with Virginia Woolf. How the fuck do you answer a question asking for the differences stated between the Caribbean and England? British people should just die.
- Law Paper 1
It took me 15 minutes out of the 1 1/2 hours I have to write 3 essays to figure out what the fuck the questions were asking because these bastard examiners choose to quote idiots like Lord Steyn who ask questions which go all the way round the damn Mulberry bush and come back and kick you in the head! And then they ask you question about topics which nobody wants to study like Delegated Legislation! And Common Law & Equity! And fucking Lay Magistrates!!! Bastards!!!
- Law Paper 2
Depressing as it is, I did actually MISS this paper thanks to the shitty school I'm in. When they initially printed the exam dates outside the Exam centre, it stated that the paper was in the afternoon, and aparently it was in the morning. So 3 or 4 of us didn't go for the paper. And Ms. Bitch examiner Ms. Koh decides to not call any of us because we aren't as important as the Scholarship students. How fucking irresponsible are they intending to get? I find it strange that these people call us umpteen times when we don't attend classes, but they just don't bother when we miss exams. And these are the A Levels mind you, not the stupid shit trials. Unbelievable. I am seriously PISSED off! But, with all credit to my law teacher, who is taking this matter up with the school, may get us permission to do the papers before they ship them off to England. Interesting. We shall see.
- Literature Paper 3: Poems by John Keats & North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell
The poem that came out for Keats is the most insignificantly boring poem they could find. It's called 'On Sitting Down to Read King Lear Once Again'. Doesn't the name just say it all? It is 14 lines long, and full of shit. Gaskell was okay though, so I shan't complain.
So that's that for now. Law Papers 3 & 4, Accounting & Lit P5 is left. June 10th it will be ALL over! Then I'm off to Australia in July! Can't wait. I'm bored out of my mind. Just can't wait for this crap to be over. Bleah!
