Day 1- eoys

The English examinations for Paper 1 and 2 are officially over, that is, the compos and compres. Exceptionally okay, it went pretty well. A little more nervous about the odious topic of science though. And if you are wondering why I am actually posting during the examinations, it's just a simple way to distress after day of examinations, probably a way to ease the load before a 3 h mugging session. For letter writing, the task of writing to the director of an old folks home wasn't much of a tall task. I think I manage to encapsulate all I needed to score well. I think. Talking and elaborating about the experience gained from the elderly and such... Pretty smooth so far. Then six topics to chose from for the narrative, a large spread of topics. But the pay-off iis that 3 of them are of one category and so are the other 3. Decided between either, then went on to write a story about how me and my buddy Tom (so cliche) running away from this bully, Timothy(Spare me, says the teacher), until we have to hop into this raging river, or dangerous waters, as the introductory sentence of the topic put it. That was a little dicey, 'cause I regrettably haven't written a lot of essays like this one, so the vocab bank was slowly running dry. Hey, one hour to write a narrative? I did all I could.
A short 20 minutes break later, and it was time to take down the comprehension. Personally, I feared the summary a little more, but fortunately for me, it was manageable. Simple farmland story, questions questions, summary, then 15 minutes of blank staring. Nothing I couldn't handle. One thing though. Never really bothered to read the instructions, so instead of leaving 3 lines in between each question I went along with the usual one. Initially wanted to re-copy everything, but with 15 minutes left breathing down my neck, you know, just thought to myself heck with it. Hope nothing goes wrong there.
So, tomorrow, the 9th, time for science. Hopefully I can sneak in an A1. Toodle doo.
