Thank Crunchie it's Friday!!!!!

Thanks to be to jayzus I have finally finished the stupid smelly mocks. It was English paper two today and you know what, it actually went quite well. However, I only wrote two and a half pages for each essay but I feel I got my point across and as the English teacher always says "It's quality not quantity".

The question that I did on Othello was about the theme of Jealousy and Revenge and how Shakespeare portrayed it. I was delighted that came up because i had actually written a whole page on that yesterday in a condensed format so it was just a matter of padding it out. My conclusion- Let me tell you it KICKED ASS!

The question that came up on the comparitive section in Theme Or Issue was how the treatment of a theme/issue can add to one's enjoyment of a novel/drama/text/biography etc. I was quite pleased with this and it was my longest of the three essays. And considering I always had trouble with that one... Well, let's just say I'm very proud of myself.

The poetry question ROCKED MY SOCKS! First of all, Philip Larkin came up (and he is like the best poet EVER!) but the essay was based on this statement "What Philip Larkin's poetry means to me"... I mean, how easy is that... you can write about whatever you want.

Then the unseen poem was about the feeling you get when you finish exams, which was very appropriate when you think about it!!! I know what I feel FREEDOM!!!

In other news... I have got myself a summer job!!! I know I know... I'm very organised. But I'm just so thrilled to have it sorted because I need to money considering I'm going to be living away from home when I started college IN SEPTEMBER. I find it so hard to believe that I'm starting college in like 7 months time. I have to save up to buy a laptop and also if I want to remain in the luxury that I'm accostomed to... a job, well, it's essential really ain't it?

Oh my God... I thought I was going to have to go back to hospital last night! nothing to do with the smelly crohn's or anything now. But my right calve swelled up like a balloon and I couldn't straighten my leg... I don't know what was going on. But eventually the awful tightness eased. But it's kind of coming back again... it's like three times as bad as the shin splints! And they are bad.

Also, I'm going to the dressmaker tomorrow for the first time about my debs dress. I can't wait!!! When I was in Dublin last week I got a swatch of this beautiful emerald green fabric. Exactly what I wanted!!!

Anyhoos,

Later
