Ok, ok. Here goes.
Last night I was up until a cool 4am studying for English Paper 2 and Extension History, the two exams I had today (Tues). Thought I was pretty confident. Bit uneasy with Module A, but I thought I can wing my way through it.
So I turn up to school to find half of our year missing. I'm like, wtf? what's going on? where is everybody? But "this is everybody!"
So I start panicking . Where is everybody? I run to a mate of mine with a trial timetable. Turns out i'd swapped Tuesday with Wednesday. Extension English was today! I hadn't studied at all! Shock horror!
Then I ran around in a frenzy of panic for about three minutes or so. Called up a friend of mine who lives close to the school who brought up some study notes/books for some quick revision. Then I sat the exam, virtually unprepared.
My creative piece involved a homosexual who stole light-switches in order to win over the attraction of the only female in the known world who he loved, by hard-boiled sleuth Anila. It ended with a nuclear explosion, destroying the world, making a comment on the value of electricity.
I ran out of time (which resulted in the explosion), and thought I could give my piece a contemporary feel by leaving "loose ends" (that were eventually covered by nuclear radiation).
Hah! I'm hoping my teacher reads it as a parody of hard-boiled short stories. If not, i'm a sure fire 5/25!
So yeah, it was my stupid fault from going by what someone else had told me, instead of an actual timetable.
But oh the humanity!
