I'm off out for a walk soon with a friend and then having the girlys down later to just chill and eat :) Woo lol

---

King Lear, Ted Hughes poems, The Picture of Dorian Gray and Death of A Salesman.

How did you find King Lear and the Picture of Dorian Gray questions? I swear I have failed on King Lear. Dorian Gray was ok though. :)

---

Aww I babbled through both of them... but I found King Lear easier I think. Probably because it was the first exam and my brain wasn't very shrivelled lol

What questions did you do for King Lear and Dorian Gray? :)

i have just discovered scramble on facebook, we are all challenging each other in the common room. Everyone else is out drinking, its kind of geeky but great fun. Im having a really goo d night.; we have along came polly on the telly as well.

Revised to day really nervous about this exam, cannot wait for the exams to be over and get home and get a job for summer.

Hmm...I need to get down to some serious revision. Was watching Casualty and it made me remember Biology with the Insulin thing :lol: But I'm done being worried about exams it's not going to help me, all I can do is try my best, depends on the questions on the day really.

Been watching Sugar Rush for the last couple of hours. Great series. Might watch some Indianna Jones. :love: Don't feel like going to bed yet...I should though!

I watched Casualty and I had no idea what they could do for the guy even though I've learnt it at the beginning of the year.

I'm not going to revise for physics, there's no way I can pass now so I might as well concentrate my efforts on biology and business.

For King Lear I did "The tragedy happens in the play because Lear recognises his place as a father rather than a king" how far do you agree? and I did a question on Lord Henry's presentation in Chapter 3 for Dorian Gray. I've cocked up Lear big time though lol.

Needed some black pens for the exams starting tomorrow so I told mum and she got me 7 bic pens and 2 papermate ones, woooo :p Oh and a 'fun pencil sharpner' from woolworths LOL!

Omg the sharpner actually is 'fun' lol! It has a rubber on the top and you can change the sharpner so you can get a really sharp point, a smooth point or a flat point to the pencil! :eek: I am actually amazed... =|

Awwwww I did that question for King Lear too :)
I did the Explain how Oscar Wilde presents Dorian Gray in Chapter 10 and at one other point.. I messed it all right up.

I'm going out for a bbq at my auntie's today. I don't particulary want to go, I have revision to do. I'm going to take my notes and hope people don't think I'm being ignorant. My mum is going to make me go seeing as I got out of going for tea at my sister's last night (imaginary headache). I hate it when people wake me up, it makes me feel ill.

I'm fed up of my mum say "our chairs must still be at Nicola's" (my sister). If she's said it once she's said it a dozen times already.

The sun is out today so i might revise out there later. At the minute just typing up my notes.

Watched Casualty before as a bit of a break and should probably think about making some dinner soon. I really cant be bothered. I should really try and change my body clock as well so i go to bed a bit earlier than 2 and wake up before mid day, it is a terrible habit i have gotten into.

Friday had house full with my 2 brothers here sister and her 2 kids my other sister and her kid my daughter and 2 of her friends and then sent me to madonalds for them all lol.... Friday night chilled out with a bottle of wine my sister and her partner playing on guitar hero on the wii......

Saturday night chilled out playing guitar hero till half 12 this morning with my daughter.... got up this morning watched Hollyoaks then back playing guitar hero till about an hour a go.......

Feel a bit sick after exercising to my Natalie Cassidy workout DVD for the first time, I think I need to drink more water, probably not the best thing to do as I am suffering from a hangover :D

I'd just go to bed, solves everything. I feel like heading there myself. Spending five hours with family has given me a headache. I feel like crying, I always do when I've spent time with family. Its not that I don't want to leave, I can't wait to, but my mum has lots of siblings and when they get together its just too much for me. Most of them smoke so I smell like a chimney and they just give me headache.

Got to hold my half cousin, he weighs 8lb 10oz and he's tiny. Makes me wonder how big I was at two weeks old, I weighed less than 5lb.

aww, how cute my mates just had a baby and she was 5Ib she was tiny to hold but Sooo cute.

My family when all together are too much as well. I had that family do last week and me and my mam were so ill afterwords.

Revised Biology today. Only covered about 4 topics but they were the one's I've been having difficulty understanding so glad I did them.

Been chatting to my mum and we're definately going to Marrakech sometime in July :D So excited :p It was the Apprentice that put the idea into our heads :lol:

Been revising English Language on and off today making flash cards :)
Just did my Vicky Binns workout dvd and I feel sick now aswell Perdita :lol:

I had work today, it was kinda okay, just busy which made me hungry
Then I have been printing a lot of geography revision stuff out. Im gonna do a lot of reading tonight, thought at 9-12 theres a lot of good tv on.
Then tomorrow is a full day of geography. I have 3 units on tuesday, but its kinda like only revising 2 as the third unit I can pick the question and will be on topics covered, I just need to remember everything about the fieldwork. Im SO nervous and scared about this exam

Dont worry you two, it will be find, just answer everything in anyway you can. You'll get the grades you want, to be honest for maths I did hardly any revision, I got a C in the mock and came out with an A in the real thing which I thought was really odd.
Tell us how it went :D

Thanks Katy & Abbie, I think you helped :p
It actually went quite well I think.. I hope it did anyways!
I was soo nervous luckily I had my bottle of water so I just took a sip before I got started and I thought the first question would be hard, usually is but I got it..
1/4 there and it went well.. But I thought I better not get my hopes up to high till I'm half way there.. okay 1/2 there and it's still going alright, just one problem but I kept on going and I think it went alright. Obviously the final few questions were quite hard, except the last 2 unusually but yeah.. I finished 25 minutes early.. and so I spent 5 mins looking through then I thought I will pretend to count up my marks to estimate what I think I will get.. And I think I got about 80ish < marks so yeah! I think that = a b.. I hope!

English & ICT exam tomorrow.. *goes to Bitesize*

what tier are you doing spicy, cos depending on the tier depends on what percentage you need for each grade. im sure you did fine though :)

i hate not having a phone, it makes my life bad lol! yesterday i was meant to meet up with some of my netball friends to buy one of our other friends a bday pressie. i was late (as usual!) but couldnt let them know so by the time i got there theyd gone! so came back home and did nothing!

today i went up to uni, had to pay a fine on my library book cos i forgot it was meant to be back yesterday and cos it was the weekend you dont get a reminder about it. asked if my usb stick had been handed in but it hadnt :( picked up my netball team photo (which has been the only vaguely good thing about my day so far!) went to the club to see if my phone had been handed in, on the website it said it opened at 9, got there at half 10 (glad i was lazy and had a lie in!), it didnt open til 11 so had to wait around, then it was late opening anyway and i was told the manager wasnt in til 12 so even if my phone had been handed in i wouldnt be able to get it! :angry: apparenty it wasnt handed in though not sure how he could tell cos there was lists and lists of stuff and he just flicked through the pages!

need to tidy my room up today as im going home tomorrow for a few days

Glad it went ok! :) I do that on my exams too,, if I have spare 5 minutes.. I just count up what I think I got right..to give myself an estimated mark of what I think I will get - I find it helps in a weird way to ease nerves. :)

Glad it went ok, i have just back from pub and amazingly i think imay have learnt something.

There really are not enough hours in the day when i have this much stuff to do.

Been revising Biology all day. Glad I only have to revise 2 units!

Im doing 3 units of geography tomorrow but I only have to revise 2 but its still a hell of a lot of work- which reminds me - what am I doing on here, I just cant help it :(

Doing higher tier, my teacher did say the grade boundries would be changing as now D is included for high paper in Maths.. So I think it will be going up, making it a bit harder to get a higher grade.. x

Did you do Edexcel Specification B, Spicy? I finished early as well, ended up going back to a question I thought was a bit dodgy and managed to put something that I think was remotely right according to MathsWatch, instead of some random piece of calculation lol! Then basically just checked it. Went much better than I was expecting, much better than my mock in which I got a B so hopefully I could get an A if the calculator section goes well.

English Lit tomorrow, soo much more nervous about that.

Good luck to all of you who are sitting your exams, I am sure you will all do very well the way you are all revising and swotting up. Nearly over and then you can relax during your summer break. xx

I am so sore after exercising yesterday, it is not fair. :nono: Will try to do a little more today but deffo not the whole DVD again :lol:

oh right. when i did my gcses 4yrs ago (that makes me sound old lol!) the boundaries were 20% C, 40% B, 60% A, 80% A*. obviously Ds werent included but id guess that if you got just over 50% you should probably be fine to get a B (dont know for definite though). im sure you did fine though if you think it went ok :)

I got a B on my mock with 62%, so I think the boundaries are quite a bit higher than they were.

They are always changing the boundaries from year to year, its too confusing

Ive felt ill all day, proper drowsy
