Anyone else suffering miserably from exam stress at the moment? I know I am one of the younger ones here, but I'm sure there are some fellow A level students preparing for the exams soon.... ;-)
I am regretting spending the year pissing about making music and taking strange substances. I'm not revising this stuff, I'm learning half of it for the first time. Apart from English; I normally just need to read a summary of the literature at hand and that'll secure me a fairly decent mark. Somehow.

Right now the most complicated choice I have to make every day is what to whack to.
Im on academic probo for withdrawing from a program I thought was shit.
Going back into the educational fray this Sept.

I've got my AS exams coming up. Haven't started revising yet. Got my art starting tomorrow (8 hour exam spanning over 3 days) and my first sociology exam in a week.
I'm beginning to get stressed and I have also been wasting the year making music and taking strange substances.
I also do English to which I hope to get atleast a B grade. Overall though I don't care too much about my results. Just as long as I get to stay on next year. That's when I'll start trying.
Good Luck!

i have my german oral on tuesday. i spent today staring at (through) my computer screen showing some german tv, ww2 commemoration stuff.. i have nobody to practise with. and since it's an oral exam and not aural, errr.. wasn't the best preparation.
i'm screwed.
also have to get through a whole phonetics, phonology and syntax course. not to mention logic and maths. and prolog. oh shitty.

Ah, thanks for sharing you three. I feel a bit better now. ;)
I just find it too difficult to sit down and actually study. Nothing is more dull and depressing.

I have to write seven essays for my final year at uni. They have to be in tommorow but I got an extension. I have to do really well because I'm trying to get on to the masters course.
Not much fun. Not much fun at all.

i had a timed exam and said "I refuse to do this if I'm being timed, the whole idea of putting me under such pressure for a massive portion of my grade is absurd."
so they didn't time me :D

Wow, perhaps I should try similar tactics.
I feel sorry for all those who need to do all that essay work; there's nothing like the feeling of coursework that needs to be done looming over every day you try and put it off.

the reason i ask, by the way, is that i wouldn't mind going back to uni if i could get paid. it's much better than working. already got the bsc and msc, but another 3 years on another bsc wouldn't go amiss.

there is only one thing more annoying than 6th formers and thats students. not students, but "students" if you get me. they are annoying wacky pricks, who think they're on holiday camp, at PGL or something, and think they have a right to annoy the rest of society with their inane antics, when really they're just a bunch of tosspots who have lived too sheltered lives. 6th formers are not much better. but at least they are contained.

I know what you mean by "students". While many here would consider me an idiot, the mindless, backward, ridiculous, narrow-minded and obnoxious students I've had to spend time with make me feel like a saint.

That's extremely prejudiced. There are obviously all different manner of people who go to university. Surely it's a lot worse to make sweeping criticisms of that sort. A student might criticise you for not being educated. Which is just a cuntish.
