Block Test, Day 1 aftermath

Blocks day 1. GP was bittersweet. Finally had that omph, that feeling of empowerment while i was writing my essay. Last time i experienced it was during O lvls itself. It is the feeling of writing because the point that you are expounding is worth your time, your ink, to convince the marker. Not the usual feeling of writing just for the sake of filling up the blank sheet of paper i am given that i get all too often. Got the feeling that i wrote out of point for it but who cares? i enjoyed writing it and it is all that matter. To Gab: ( although i know that y0ur com is down and you probably wont be reading this ) just because i wrote the same topic as you doesnt mean u confirm die haha, dont rate me that highly, have confidence in your own work, in the believes that you are leaving in ink in your essays. Whatever i do will not really matter then.

Now, for comprehension. Probably the worse comprehension i did this year. Doubt i can repeat my common test performance. As most of you should know, i like to give excessively long winded answers haha, e.g. writing one whole paragraph to a 2 mark question. ( My all time record was 166 words for a 1 mark questions did in sec 3, yes i counted lol ). As for today, no matter how i take a look at most of the questions all that i could come up with are short 1 or 2-liners. My reason for coming up with long answers is to try and cover the question from all angles, whichever stance the marker chooses to take, but it is an impossiblity for this compre. Used to derive a sense of security from those long answers i guess. Not anymore. The AQ, big time screw up man. When i saw the 1st part of the question i was like 'whoohoo, finally an AQ which i think i can score decently'. Then saw the part asking for 2 measures. A couple of chosen swear words ran across my mind. Spent the greater part of the 20 mins i had trying to figure out 2 examples ( did not give in the end ) and crapping out an answer.

Break between GP and econs, was trying to study econs then gave up and went to the 2nd level walkway above the atrium and crapped with JC, Gab, Hazel, GH .. and gang. At the requst of Hazel and Gab, will try to type posts that are more reader friendly lol. Lucky econs isnt too bad, but dont think i'll pass...

Writing this to put off studying for maths.

Before i go, rant abit haha. A div is starting next thursday AFTER MY LAST PAPER. crap cant experience the post blocks euphoria, and friday probably have training ARGH.

ok people, time to go and salvage some decency in a failing grade for maths tomorrow
