Around 46,000 students did their English exam today, me being one of them. The English exam sucks; I’m so bad at writing essays 
. It was alright, but I screwed up a bit of it. Basically, we have to write four essays — Two text response essays (essays based on texts we read in class), a language analysis piece (analyse the ways language is used in some articles), and a persuasive/opinionative piece. I spent too long on the analysis and persuasive pieces (as these are what I’m good at). I completed one of the text response essays and then noticed I only had like 25 minutes or so to do the last one. So it was horribly rushed and probably quite incoherent 
So yeah, I’m soooo glad that exam is now over; it was the one exam I was really dreading. The exams I have left are:
Monday 5th November
3:00 PM–4:15 PM — Specialist Maths Exam 1 (non-calculator)
Friday 9th November
9:00 AM–10:15 AM — Maths Methods Exam 1 (non-calculator)
Monday 12th November
11:45 AM–2:00 PM — Maths Methods Exam 2 (calculator)
Wednesday 14th November
11:45 AM–1:30 PM — Physics
Thursday 15th November
9:00 AM–10:45 AM — Chemistry (ewwww )
Friday 16th November
3:00 PM–5:15 PM — Specialist Maths Exam 2 (calculator)
So yeah, after that, No more school! On to University next year. I’m hoping that I get an ENTER score above 87, that way I’ll get into Computer Science at Melbourne University 
Edit: Some people were asking about the title of this post. It was referring to my MSN Messenger display name, which I had set to “It’s Survivor: English Exam Edition. 46000 students, 4 hours, 3 essays. Who will survive?” for a while

Well, my mid-year exams are now all done. I think that exams are the stupidest thing ever… Whoever invented them should be shot… in the foot
…erm… Yeah, anyway….. For our maths exams (Specialist Maths, and Maths Methods), we have a 2-hour exam where we can use a calculator, and a 1-hour calculator-free exam.
These are the exams I did:
- English – Bah, the English exam was stupid. We needed to write three essays in two hours! Having said that, I got a B on that exam (and I thought I was going to fail it )
- Physics – Physics was alright (I quite like Physics). The exam was actually just questions that were cut and pasted from various revision books! I got an A+ on this exam.
- Specialist Maths – This was hard, it involved maths stuff such as partial fractions, Circle theorems, and other stuff. If there’s one maths area I hate, it’s circle theorems! Having said that, I got an A+ on this exam
- Maths Methods – This was easy! Maths Methods is incredibly easy compared to Specialist Maths. I got 97% in the calculator-active test (the highest in the class). This involved stuff like quadratics, cubics, quartics, solving equasions, etc, etc. The overall mark was an A+
- Chemistry – This was the one exam I was dreading (I’m not really that good at chemistry). Nevertheless, I got a B on this exam (which I’m quite happy with)
Yeah… That’s all my exams…
In other news, someone recently spammed the CWH Networks forum:
It took me the whole of 2 minutes to clean all that up. Seriously, when will these spammers learn? Geez!
