*huggles*

They might discourage them, but surely they wouldn't be able to stop you from taking them.

BBTOTW how long do you have to revise for M2?

My school don't discourage resits as such...but Cambridge do if I ever want to apply. *hides*

The degrees thing is in my text book.

...thanks to my maths teacher who's teaching method is basically:

1. close your books
2. *copies example from book onto board*
3. Do example
4. do all exercises in chapter

...we all complained at first but it actually works. *rolls eyes*

I have just under 3 weeks, but on the week it's on I have exams every day, including 6 papers the day before...
Another reason why I have to get all As is because I had an argument with the head mistress in September, and she let me do 5 subjects because I promised her it wouldn't be too much work and that I'll be able to do well in all of them...
Also I really really hate it when I let teachers down, and they're all telling me I'm going to do well - so I won't be able to face them if I don't get all As...

So - stuff Cambridge's resit policy. The liklihood is that you won't need to anyway

*cough*

...but I may be resitting my biology foundation in january if I do badly in this summer exam...

Sorry - that sounded a bit harsh. I'm just a bit peed off.

*hugs* how come?

...lol I swear all the cafe threads are merging into one.

Because of the school, and how having wasted a pointless day in school (I posted about it a couple of pages ago, but for instance with 3 weeks until our History exam, we spent an hour lesson play games), I am now shattered and so can't be bothered to revise.

Aww Sorry, I seem to have taken over this thread...

Don't worry BBTOTW

Better go and try and revise now. (3 weeks today until my first exam !!)

My last few days in school before study leave started were a bit like that, it was so good to finally be left to our own devices at home!

But arghhh!!! Biology exam on Monday, and there's so much to remember

Oh dear! That's why I'm so thankful for study leave... Nicki would your teachers let you sit in the library and revise or something if you told them you had REALLY important work to do?

Ps Miss Ross, I'm sure your biology exam will be fine... what are you expecting to get...?

No...well, the WHOLE class protested at games, but he didn't really take any notice. He would have said we were revising.

And in Sociology, we were actually given work.

It just annoys me so much, and now I am tired, I am unlikely to do much revision tonight.

Well, an A would be ideal, but I'll be really pleased with a B, seeing as that's what I need to do Advanced Higher.

Well then you'll be fine! (Usually you notice if someone says they would be happy with a C they get a B or an A, if someone is reconciled to a D they get a C or B... with girls at least, stereotypical as that seems.)

Nicki-Flute give yourself a night off - you were probably learning more than you think, and the fact that you're worried about it gives me the impression that you're conscientious enough to do well anyway..

Lucky - at this rate I won't be doing any more revision tonight. Going to do some flute practice and then slob out infront of the TV heh

sounds good to me

Yup me too... One night won't make a difference

And me!

Might scrape away on my fiddle for a bit instead...

I love your description.

Naturally!

I don't think there's a better term for it personally...

----> scraping!

I love the way the smiley is looking up as she/he is scraping away.

She is!

Scraping is exactly the right word. The Russian word for a violin is "scripka" the literal translation of which is "little scratch"

I never knew that.

Nor I Do you speak Russian Sarah-flute?

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Glad to get last week done

well done for your exam.

Thank you, have no idea how well I did am just pleassed to have got through it.

I think it's a wee bit fed up...

*scrape scrape scrape, I wish I'd let the glue dry on my new shoulder rest before starting to play...oops*

The German word for viola is Bratsche, and I've heard violists saying the were going to "scratch the Bratsche"

As it happens I didn't get a chance to scrape away on my fiddle - I got a bit distracted by some sort of flutey-type-thing - a Fife I think it is. A wee bit tricky if I'm perfectly honest......but fun nonetheless!

I've got a marching band fife and I sound dreadful on it; ebay comes to mind.

Why Ebay?

My "cold" is now a throat infection

I would love to scream but I can't without having a coughing fit!!!

I'll virtually scream instead...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


cough cough...drags self back to bed.....

I don't think it would sell anywhere else; if you saw it you'd probably think the same.
I don't play fife; this is just one my nan was given yrs and yrs ago.



oh dear .
I've a cold too; I really hope I don't get an infection.

Get well Soon

Oh no

ARGH at all the idiotic drivers I encountered on the way to orchestra this morning

Get well soon

Thanks Soph...how are you?

Tired out from exams, but glad I got through yestarday thanks

Are you feeling any better? How is your ear?

Yes, glad you did the exam..
The events in my ear have been overtaken by the events in my throat at the moment. Now I can hardly hear and hardly talk!!!! I just want to SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you feel better after some sleep.

Thank you....any news of Steve?

He rang his girlfriend on Thursday, which I am glad about, to tell us he is ok. He is out on operation for 2 weeks now But he is enjoying it. Thanks for asking

Ok...he'll be glad to hear you did your exam..

I am going to send him a cd with my performances and compositions on so he can have a listen and also write about the concert and my exam

Good for you!

Have you called them and cancelled it?
