I was most of the way through the paper when I looked at the clock and panicked cos I had 45 min left and I hadn't even done half the paper yet...
30 min later I checked the time again and realised that the exam finished at 12:30 not 11:30 :(

I sat there for about ten minutes laughing at myself... The examiners were all giving me weird looks and stuff...

I finished about 5 mins till the end but that was because I just fucked around for 20 mins in shipwrecks because I had so much time. Regretted it at the end though >_<

I knew it was three hours, I just somehow worked out three hours from 9:30 as 11:30... Yeah, maths will be fun, won't it?

I got to play musical desks... Mine kept rattling, so the examiner let me move across to a spare one. I think it was the highlight of the exam....

I had 20 mins left at the end and was pretty happy with the timing. Then i went through the exam all the way to the end and it scared the truck out of me how many mistakes i did. Pretty much took me to the end correcting them.

Yep, sure does. So does my saying that you're Christina Sarah? Wong from Merewether High School, who lives in Cessnock, parents own a restaurant and who has a very annoying brother who plays D&D (wheres Xayma when you need him :p).

If the BoS comes knocking on your door don't look at me :p
