The English Paper2 God is a surly bastard!

That exam PWNED me beyond recognition...

Spent 50 minutes on 1.
Spend 30 on the others.
Wrote in dot point for the Powerplay speech.

Bloody hell...
That's what happens when they inbalance the system. Easy Paper 1 = WTF Paper 2. Surly bastards.

Wrote 14.5 pages.

i'm actually the opposite, because i was right up the back of our (large) hall and my long distance vision isn't too good, so i thought it finished about 5 minutes earlier than it actually did and wound up with about 5 mins to spare

Paper2 sucked!

OMG! This paper was so bad for me! The King Lear question totally threw me off! I wasn't expecting that! Frontline was an easy question, but I spent too much time on ModuleB and C that i didn't have enough time for ModuleA! and it was aneasy question! How the BoS can expect us to do 3 writing tasks in 2 hours i don't know! They give us 3 hours for every other exam and usually we don't need it, but when it comes to English, a subject where every freaken minute counts they give us only 2 measley hours! aarrggghhh....!

Very frustrated here! Well again I'm goin to thank my English teacher Ms Conway for all her support! shes the best!

Yay! no more english!! wait a minute...I want to be an english teacher!!

oh no!

lol

all mine were shit i didn't really finisha any of them
i so need another 20 mins on each
foe Mod A i spent 50 mins
Mod B i spent 40 mins
which left me with 30 mons for Mod C
the Module C question really threw me
i wasn't quite sure how to answer it
and only refer to 2 things
i could not do that
Cloudstreet is a novel
not a book made up of completely different sections
that i can split and talk about at will!
stupid bored of studies
just blew my english mark out the window
i just hope the rest of my grade did good

yaeh spent too long on A and B- didn't even finish A as such- so for C i only got to talk about half a piece of related material- not two :-( I'm so screwed! how many marks do you think I'll lose for that? Then theres all the marks for how crap my responses are. Its depressing! But at the same time no more English! Yay! I'm havin a bon-fire to burn all my stuff after the HSC.

I spent the next 40 mins on BNW/BR
And left about 30 mins for king lear, i did it in like 25 mins but i only wrote 4pages and i don't think they were very good, i spent too much time trying to sort out how to answer the question - it was a hard question!
But i wrapped it up cause i hate leaving questions unanswered.

I didn't mind the questions too much, I wrote everything I needed to say (7 or so pages each)...except for the conclusion for two of them. I thought my arguement was fairly clear, but how many marks do you think it would cost me for each of them?

apparently they like structure so it would've been good if you had a conclusion, but it won't matter very much, i don't think...

I DEFINATELY ran out of time..
spent way too long on Module A: Hamet and Ros&Guil but it was pretty good.
Module B: Gwen Harwood, i had no idea for the question, made up SO much stuff
and cos i was thinking about B i left only 20minutes for Module C: Frontline!
Ah so angry..ended up writing a page of dot points and quickly wrote a conclusion.
Meh its over!! ITS OVER!
