Me also.
I hope the passages are okay D:
I have this feeling the VCAA is just going to screw me over again.
They were so great for both of my texts last year.

Oh and remember

HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW!!!

It's HOW language is used to create meaning which is more important than WHAT language means! :) :)
Nice little mantra to take into the exams!

Ah, life will be good past 5:15pm, then I will have to study for Methods :(

All the best guys, I'm sure you'll all be awesome!  =D

BTW, when the exam is over, can somebody tell me which Hamlet passages they use?  I absolutely adore the play, and since I'm doing it next year I'm interested in what kind of extracts the VCAA chooses for it.  :p

Haha it might be: "to be or not to be"
I mean, first year on, it seem the witty thing VCAA would do to put on the most well-known soliloquy from Hamlet! :)

I'm so bad with afternoon exams - I ALWAYS end up doing nothing in the morning due to nerves. I think it's sad that I'm watching Ellen now... :(

Although, I was worse before my monologue.
What monologue did you do last year?

I did Mary Tyrone along with the rest of the whole state D: <
Not fun!  I didn't get a good mark for it either, Theatre Studies will be in my bottom two!

I did Arturo Ui (which was your Question 4 from the exams!)
Aw well, at least TS isn't a prereq or a Top 4-er like Lit, so just ace Lit like I know you will! :)

Oh man, that exam I hated also.  I was really bad at time management and I barely GOT to question 4, and it's worth like 15 marks isn't it? D:
How did you find the exam this year?

Lit might not even be a top 4-er!
I do mainstream English as well.
But, I wasn't entirely pleased with that exam, so hopefully this one will be better and will overtake English in the top 4.
Still, I have my doubts.  My school is known to have high achieving students come out with a score of like, 32.
I really hope that doesn't happen to me today!

The exam this year for TS was a little harder than last year's. :S But I somehow managed...
And don't doubt yourself now! You've put in the hard yards during the year - so it's not a matter of CAN you do it, but IF you will allow yourself to get over the NERVES that will only hinder you by causing distress! :)
