tj_roweWith all the craziness going on in the States, you tend to forget that the Puritans sailed from a Devon port. But then you remember, when you notice that a good proportion of the UK's sorry, England's (*eyes other parts of Great Britain*) religious skirmishes seem to happen here in my little county.
Even the bloody civil war was resolved not too far from where I am. -_-;;
...
I have discovered the secret to my GCSE success, and am applying it to A2 modules. It's simple - lose the 'OMG I'll die if I don't get As in these subjects that I'll never get As in!' mindset. Actually, that's the hard part. I'm glad that I only need 300 points (three Bs or inequivalent) for one of my Unis - I just needed to let myself realise that if I can afford to go down as far as a B and a C for Physics and Maths (indiscriminately) and still get into a Uni that I'd love to go to.
And I'm splitting the exam season into three parts (much like I split the year into two) - next week has two exams (C1 and D1), the one after has two more (S1 and C3), and the third week has the last three (Chem, M2, FP1).
It didn't hurt that I got 100% on a specimen paper for a retake, either. ^_^ I can probably get my C1 result up to 85 on the day, at least, which would make my average... Just a few marks below an A. And as my best two application modules will go in instead of M1, I've got a good chance of making it good.
...
I've been starting a bit of meta, too. The more procrastinating, the better. XD
