i just had my lit paper today. it was freaking tough. listen to this if you've got time.
the rest of the stuff below is just for the sake of procrastination so you don't really have to read it..haha..
so we were supposed to choose 2 out of 4 questions from each section. easy enough rite? i mean i do get to choose. so i thought i didn't need to finshed reading Hamlet since as Dan said 'it's time to consolidate info, no time to read already.' so i just tried to get the gist of Hamlet the night before. turns out that that's not the way things work in a shakespeare-oriented literary world. the whole of section C turned out to be based on Hamlet. and not on Hamlet the character but Hamlet the book..Polonius in particular..i mean that is so plain freaking evil setting 4 whole questions on a guy who isn't even the lead character in the play. especially when i haven't finished reading Hamlet. i mean i don't even know what this Polonius guy does in the play besides get killed by Hamlet in the end. see? if u ask my stuff about Hamlet i so can tell you..why on earth would you ask me about polonius???? it's like setting 4 whole questions on enobarbus from Anthony and Cleopatra.
so in times like these the most useful thing to have is your ability to crap. and it's times like these where i most wish i was marie. unfortunately i'm not so my crapping wasn't all that effective..you know that someone has given up when they recline in their seat and scribble aimlessly, spacing their letters far apart and their words even furthur apart in efforts to fill up space and look impressive. how much space can you fill in half an hr anyway? k it's not even half an hr.i take 10 min to prepare each question so that's pretty much like 20 min left to write. i mean who gives students 20 minutes to write a 25 mark essay? it's crazy! in jc we had like 45 minutes to do that!
yea whatever..it's over!! it's weird how i feel so relaxed after my lit paper. it's almost as if all my papers are done. i'm not even worried about soci and chinese biz..and that in itself is ironically worrying. i don't want to get my grades for my papers..especially lit. how am i gonna major in something i suck at? i went to collect my lit essay today (25% of overall grade)..got a B+..that is so not fantastic at all. i was hoping for an A-, was expecting a B- though..
k that whole paragraph up there has made me realize that i'm one conflicted girl. Alex told me that i don't know what i want. that is so true. but then again there are too many people who know exactly what they want, nobody's left to just live life as it comes. so i would prefer to think that people who know what they want are just constantly stressing themselves over something that is non-existent. and when it comes into existence, they stress themselves furthur with other things that are not in existence. what's the point? omg..i sound so cheesy..
that's why i love my friends. they don't really care about anything, they just do what they feel like doing. we're slackers but we still get to where we wanna be. wow..do i make us sound good or what? hahaha..oh yea i'm talking about ma tpjc elites by the way..woo! hahaha..i miss you guys!! we'll go out when i'm done with my crappy exams yea. give me a call!
can you believe one year has passed so quickly? i mean if you look at it it's be like 'woah..it's almost december already'..yet thinking back, A levels seems like such a long time ago. heck even collecting results seems like such a long time back. at this time last year we were all mugging for our last few papers and getting ready for prom. and now kris is the one getting all ready for prom. she's in the pageant! i so hope she wins..so exciting!! hahahaha...so cool..
k i think i'd better start studing for tmr's paper. pray for me! i'll need it! =)
