    Good luck everyone!

    I guess the work for it is all done at this stage so all I can offer at this stage is to get a good nights sleep.

    You could always try the risky, but occasionally fruitful, venture of learning off a short story that you can adapt to any title.
    (Of course I tried that, and ended up making up a new one completely from scratch in the actual exam, so it was a bit of a waste of time.)

    Anyway best of luck to everyone tomorrow. I'm sure you'll all do great. :)

    Gooooood luck everyone. Sure you'll all fly it!

    Doesn't boards count as Paper 1 study? Utilising those wonderful linguistic abilities... In which case, you've all done AMPLE study. Ample.

    I was going to get up and watch Geordie Shore but figured it would probably damage my brain so early in the morning..

    Paper 1 went loooovely. Did the QA on text 2 and QB on text 3 (diary entries). The essay titles weren't what I was hoping for (i.e. one I'd prepared word-for-word :P) but the one about technology and it's impact of young people suited me down to the ground. :)

    Really tired now, nappage and then paper 2!

    Did the essay on clothes.. I dont think i've ever wrote such a masterpiece before, the words the quotes the feelings. Was amazing ;D

    Seriously i got 2 pages out of a rugby jersey and and a hoodie.. That's how easy it was for me D:
    The other pages are more waffle bout the ole jeans and hats and shizz.
    Examiner will have his mind blown.

    *oh god i sound so arrogant haha sorry guys*

    An essay on clothes? Sure you could have talked on about how they're the oppressive tool of the bourgeoisie.

    I glorified them, and most aspects of them, said how each one had it's own little story to tell. Seemed like a good plan :)

    Thought it was a fair paper today. Did Question A on the tight rope walker, wrote about Antarctica for my Question B about travel and did the "Importance of Technology for Young People" essay. Went great! Settled the nerves well.


    *starts counting down to the influx of angry posts if Boland doesn't come up tomorrow* :P
