there was this guy sitting next to me in the english exams paper 1 and 2, and he kept on staring at me while i was frantically writing my essays.. and like because im right handed, i could see from the corner of my eyes, him staring at me.. i was like so nervous and it was freaking distracting.. my mind would go blank at the end of every sentence trying to think of the next one...err

also, the supervisors were annoying sometimes..like in the paper 2 exam, there was like 15 mins left and i felt thati would have enough time.. but then the supervisor goes '10 minutes guys' and everyone's like panicking and cutting out their last paragraphs and moving onto the conclusion.. i was nearly about to do the same..luckily had a watch with me..

sometimes the stupidity of ppl baffles me.. :D

Lmao, whoa most of the stuff that people talk about around here happens to me alot XD

It's soo weird when the supervisors check your ID and stuff, there was this old guy who was so serious, he would walk up to each and every one of us, and virtually look at us straight on our face...

Gosh and I hate it when our school goes into recess or lunch, the bells, and all the screaming and stuff outside the playground, almost like some battlefield. Schools should really restrict something like a 50 metre no-entry zone during HSC.

my school closes down the area around the exam rooms, but you can still hear the sounds of the playground during lunch and recess.

our exam room is a couple of thousand km from the main academic precinct, so noise is miminal. (and most of the school spreads out across the school at lunch, not just in one place) Of course thats only possible with a school 100acres large or whatever it is..

Well we had our exams at a church far away from the school, so no noise from that. Probably the most annoying thing happened in trials rather than HSC when they had a gas leak and tried to tell us chem students that we were only imagining it
Considering we spend half our lessons filling pencilcases with gas and lighting it the supervisors were fighting a losing battle.

damn, some of you guys had it bad.

nothing really annoys me in our exams, i tend to tune out to the max.

country town.. seems we got sent soft BOS people, cos they never checked our ID or anything, or stood near us.

it was a little irritating when they stood real close together and talked in stage whispers, as if it made any difference.

oh, and on the day of the first exam they confiscated my lollies :-( ..but it was okay cos they gave up on trying to take them off me after that!

and they never followed you to the toilets or anything.. if i had of put notes in my pocket i could of cheated so easily :-S

oh and in one exam i had this fly buzzing around my head the whole time lol, i wanted to shoot it.

and it was a lil annoying when i needed writing booklets and wasted my time sitting there waving my arms at the trying to get their attention.
