Lol I screwed up I think, not particularly worried though.

Paper 2 is going to kill me.

I think I did a semi decent job, my creative writing part was horse sh*t, but the rest I did good. Spent too long on the essay.

I just wrote about spirtual dimensions of journeys and spirtual enrichment from them? I only related my essay back to the question like 4 times through out. Got early entry unconditional so meh what ever.

I didn't finish my creative writing the way I wanted. Had a mad ending which I couldn't do because I ran out of time so I finished it with a sh*t ending. The 20 mins I had to sit there writting my student number and centre number I should've just kept writing lol.

I talked about how the catalyst for imaginative journeys are the qualities of the strong human spirit.

Since I had Kubla for some of my quotes I had to use another point seeing as how Kubla just dives straight into it. So then I talked about how the imaginative journey validates the qualities of a strong human spirit, but since the imaginative journey is only a filter for reality, this is indicative that this human spirit already lies in the travellers - regardless of the qualities they have only now come to understand by means of enhanced perception imaginiative journeys provide.

There was a blackout 15 mins into my Business Studies exam LOL... I had 15 mins of the time it took them to figure out moving us to another room with plenty of windows to read ahead in the exam and we had an extra 10 mins onto the revised time. That was divine intervention for me or else I would have died!

you mean school ??

Well yeah. But more specifically, the HSC. Which I am yet to be convinced is still anything else but a ploy to get cashed-up parents to spend their hard-earned at expensive schools based on the aforementioned's results.

i did IJ as well (last year), Kubla was one awesome poem for it in terms of quotes... how did you go about writing the essay? What was your other text + booklet + own text?

Standard or Advanced? I thought the Standard one was alright, Module A was always my strong point, Module B suited the text beautifully, and Module C I kinda screwed up but I got a lot down so I should go ok. I reckon 17, 17, 13.

Legal Friday, Maths Monday and Wednesday then nothing until Chem on the 6th.
