It’s one of those wet, cold winter nights here in Sydney tonight that just makes you want to curl up with a hot chocolate and a good book. And possibly a hot water bottle. And so, after my hot shower in the next 10 minutes, that is exactly what I am going to do.
In news today, I had two exams: maths, which as you all should know by now is probably my worst subject, with me just scraping in a pass at the end of last year, and history, which I love and think is terribly interesting. Maths, as usual, I feel I could have done a million times better, but I don’t think I went too terribly. At least the equations were easy enough.
History was surprisingly… odd. I did the first two pages pretty easily, then skipped a bit and blitzed the dates at the end if the paper, but then when I went back to do the long-response bit that I skipped, I was a bit lost for words.
Not knowing what to say doesn’t happen to me often. I’ve usually got an opinion or some really long sentence full of hypens – my thing – and brackets (another one if my things) to write down. But I think within the first paragraph if this mini-essay I repeated myself about 3 times. I felt seriously thrown off. Fortunately, I pulled myself together, wrote a pretty OK response that filled up all the space I’d been given to write in, which is an achievement at my school, and finished with 1 minute to spare.
I’m pretty sure all my exams so far have gone pretty well. Well, 4 down, 1 to go.
Wish me luck in science tomorrow!
