End of year exams have almost starting and with them comes my impending doom.
My first is chemistry tomorrow and all my friends who do it have been very "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH EITHER CHEM DIES OR I DO AHHHHHHHHHH"
And then the day after is french. That's not so bad except for the fact that I have no grasp of how to conjugate most verbs. Il vaut = ?
And then ENGLISH. Holy crap we're all going to die. Three hours = 3 essays and unfamiliar texts. I think it works out to 35minutes per 300-400 word essay (though if we want to do well we should be writing closer to the 400 than the 300). That is the one that will ahve me crawling out of the exam going "Why? Why???"
History. Oh thats not so bad.
But maths. Oh maths, the bain of my existence. I used to be smart at maths. In fact, I even liked it because its so logical. There's a wrong answer and a right answer and with about 4 equations you can make it through 5th form maths. Then they hurl 6th form/year 12/grade 11 maths at you with the force of a bazooka that throws you against the wall, dazed and only semi-aware that more information is being lance'd (thats a mangled form of lancer - French for "to launch" eg, a javelin with its sharp point) that should be assimliated, but heck, you'll get back to that when the initial shock fades (though the curriculum has you in a permanent state of "
*tortured scream*"). Mostly calculus. If calculus was embodied in something that could be destroyed (in a lengthy, drawn out process) oh, I'd do it. It might include, though not limited to, chainsaws, whips and burning.
Oh, look at that, thats them all. No exam for psychology because it was internally assessed (though that was a painful experience - an assessment every 2 weeks at one point).
Thank you for your time.
*stabs exams on the way out*
