I'm not calling you a liar. You might've just misheard the teachers saying that it's $100/paper and you thought they'd said $100/student.

Today's paper was worth 15% while tomorrow's paper is also worth 15%.
For a total of 30% for our English Trials!! :(

I'm stressing out about Paper 2, its gonna be heaps hard I think.

I actually planned my story but I didn't read the question properly. I just looked at the quotes, picked one and started writing! :(

My estimates for each section are as follows:

Section 1: 3/15
Section 2: 13/15
Section 3: 5/15

Paper 2 is gonna kill me. Just lucky this has no relevance to my future at all. :p

I'm worried about Paper 2.

Like what do we have to know for King Lear and Blade Runner/Brave New World? :burn: :eek:

Quick question - what did everyone put for a) for Section 1?

The question was like "Identify one type of journey present in this text"
i wrote about how they're a journey in time because they provide a link between the past and the present

I wrote about how the text explores the journey and continuation of universal symbols and thus understanding throughout time... too much?

I thought the exam was AWFUL!! I felt sooo unprepared and the questions really threw me. But I suppose that's fine seeing I didn't do as much study as I aimed to actually do. The worst was Question 2 - totally ran out of time and my story sounded like a cheap children's book. Ahhh! Frustrated.

Anyway... tomorrow will be far worse. Got to always remember the age-old quote: "The worse is yet to come." Ok, I think I'm procrastinating here. Don't really want to study for tomorrow... suppose I should.
