    General Thoughts: English Extension 1

    I did Romanticism; 'twas quite nice :) although, I guess I will have to wait and see. I guess the questions were fair - not 'piss-easy', but not 'kill-me-now-hard'. Let's just say I was relieved to find they didn't say "THREE PRESCRIBED TEXTS" *wipes sweat from forehead* PHEW.:hat:

    Why? Is this normal?

    Was feeling alright before HSC exams began. Now, this sums up my feelings: :bomb: Hearing from friends who finished in previous years... I'm supposed to feel GOOD after finishing the exam.

    The Appropriate Length For An Extended Response.

    General Thoughts: English Paper 1 (AOS)
