Incredibly Comfortable Trousers

Phew! I feel like the exams are already over. Today we had English Literature and ICT.

The question for Of Mice and Men on the Lit paper was so vague that I hardly knew what to write about. Instead I wrote about everything. There, that should cover everything. But in enough detail? Shit. I'll probably get an A or something crap like that.

The other Literature question was about how language is used in four different poems. I chose to do two by Carol Ann Duffy (A lesbian poet with a CBE that lives in Manchester), one by Robert Browning (famous Victorian poet that lives in a grave) and another by Will Shakey. I kicked arse on these, pausing only to think about how to break WS's gay relationship with an actor to the examiner. According to my interpretations of Sonnet 130, there was man involved in his sexual life, other than himself.

This afternoon we also had ICT. This basically involves distinguishing between monitors and floppy disks and there's you A*. One of the questions asked:

Select two advantages of using RFID tags in supermarkets.
A) So police can trace thefts
B) So shopping can be calculated without being placed on the conveyor belt
C) So they can form evil networks

You need not have turned on a computer in your life to be able to see that an 'evil network' can't be a good thing. That, I would say, is actually a general picture of the exam. Its a complete wonder that everyone gets an A or A* at my college. Considering I got 79/80 on my coursework which is actually 60% of the final grade already, I would hazard a conservative guess of my grade at an A*.

The previous Friday we also had Citizenship. The coursework for this was the litter picking you are probably familiar with. That was also simple, although I fluked a couple of the questions on UN summits and Lay Magistrates. Apparently my answers were correct. Then again Jingo is known to get these kind of things wrong.

So now we have 13 days until the next exam, Geography, in 13 days time. In the mean time I'll be spending most of my time revising like crazy the subjects of Chemistry, Physics and Maths. I am taking all of these for A-level so need to get a decent grade. Therefore "expect little more than a sarcastic comment from Jingo to grace this blog over the next few days", sorry that's weeks...
