I did really bad.
My nerves got the better of me.
To all those with a prepared response - FUCK YOU!
It said fucking "may" so you could've written whatever you wanted.
I should've made one beforehand.
Also, I knew it would be place but I didn't bother changing my quotes.
Horrible.
Best I'll get is 33/45.

How Great Was That?

I dunno if i like flunked out majorly or something, but that paper was GREAT!

I was happy that the overall theme was the same throughout the whole paper ! (i dunno if that usually happens)

HAHAHAHHA BEST PAPER EVER I LOVE BORED OF STUDIES LOL PLACE EVERYTHING WAS ON PLACE <3

Also, anyone who went to the pre-uni english mock trial where the section 1 was on how a sense of place shapes identity HAHAHAHA I was rofling (metaphorically) during the 'open your books and let's go through each page to check everything is there' omg lol omg

Riproot, you were the one who thought it'd on place as well didn't you? WtF how'd you screw it?

Re: How Great Was That?

I wasn't happy because I was in no way geared towards that theme; I think I did fairly average.

Re: How Great Was That?

Each year the belonging paper has a theme. Just like this year was belonging to place and last year was belonging to family, etc.

(sorry I posted another thread , very very sorry)

Anyways ,

I thought that it was great

And i had nothing prepared

I didnt know what to expect but I didnt think that they had one theme throughout the whole paper (places)

The unseen texts were so interesting and diverse and the questions were straight forward.

I was glad that there was a visual stimulus for the creative writing task , it made it a whole lot easier ..

& memorising my poems (Skrzynecki prescribed text) made picking out the quotes a whole lot easier as well ..

Maybe i totally flunked out and did everything wrong , but for now i will bask in the glory of the thought that it was easy ..

But then again i'd b happy with 33/45 Riproot :L

Re: How Great Was That?

ye i died w happiness when i opened that paper

the theme was more obvious than last years...or was it the year before.. where they had an essay on the individual or whatever which you could've just ignored the theme of the paper
