I'm not going to do a 3 hour exam today as I have been doing in previous days. The reason being that you need to peak tomorrow. A marathon runner may feel nervous about their ability to do the distance on the next day, but they don't try it out because they need to peak on the next day (ok, bad analogy). I might write something, but probs only a paragraph or two. Otherwise it might be more beneficial to do a lot of planning. That way you can get the ideas flowing through your head, which is half of what an essay is anyway (the other half being writing).

Btw, I always mistake you for shinny (famous author of guide to context writing)....I was wondering why shinny was asking a question about English

hahaha sorry :S
yeah ive done a couple of plans, im just getting really really nervous. up until now ive been fine, all like 'oh yeah not worried about english, best subject for me' and now im like aaaaaarrrghhhh help!
im just gonna re-read notes and plan. one of the teachers did say the day before just do intros and stuff like that but not big pieces.

I think I'm going to relax as well, for the most part anyway. It's important to be fresh and 'excited' when writing a piece because I believe that voice is reflected in your writing. I'll play some PS3 soon, but for now I'll write up some plans and have a read of some essays.

lol I've got Spesh to worry about, studying for it ain't gonna do anything for me now though, I'll probably just pick up the harder papers and go over my errors.

I've done one 3 hour exam at school and actually completed it, very pleasing. Throughout I've done each piece and given myself an hour for each, both at school and at home. Today just been re-reading notes and quotes. Good luck all!!!
