Eden moans about exams. Again.

Hello my lovely readers, hope you're enjoying the sunshine! Or the peace if you're vampire-skinned like me and everyone else is outside while you're sat inside alone! I've been in hibernation because of exams but I'll be posting more updates for a while until the next set.

I've got my R.E and English Lit exams over (possibly-more on that later) so now I only have Maths, Chemistry and Geography to do in June. Then it's camp and mock interviews and all that jazz then I'm freeeee for the summer:)

So the R.E exam was on Wednesday morning and I actually revised (I know, how good am I?) and I wasn't feeling too nervous about it. The exam itself was pretty easy and I think I only messed up one question so hopefully I'll get a B or above.

Today was the English exam and I wasn't nervous for that really either as I had studied three poems in detail, one of which was definitely going to come up in the exam. Or so we were told. What actually came up was a choice of two questions: Compare a crappy poem we had spent one lesson on to another or compare a poem we had never studied at all to another. So yeah we were buggered.

Everyone started talking and complaining and the Year 11s had to be taken out because they hadn't studied any of the poems at all which really distracted the rest of us. The only poem that I thought of links to was one of the three I had initially studied but it was the one I liked the least so I couldn't analyse it as much, but I tried my best. The school say they'll appeal to the board but I don't know what will happen- it's probably the teacher's fault for not making us study every poem but it's also the exam board's fault for basically lying it would be one of three poems. Apparently lots of angry parents have rung in to complain but my mum still doesn't understand why we don't have one exam at the end of year 11 so she's a hopeless case...

I personally think we should all get our predicted grades or at least a chance to retake it as some point as we were distracted so much and given the wrong information. It's still stress that I don't really need though.

I'm going to give myself a break from revision for a couple of days but then I need to start Chemistry and Maths revision...le cry.

Oh yeah I bought my dad some pencils that are also drumsticks because I am at a complete loss as to what else to get him!
