Indeed, I agree 100%. That philosophy didn't stop me from obtaining an E in German, though.
Hey, it's a pass. :D The rest were all B/A/A*s, so it doesn't matter. I guess it proves I'm no Nazi fanboy. :D

I find myself laughing at the absurdity of that. Then I remember it's real... and that you had to do it :-)

RM18, forgot about him. Good poster were he.
I know they don't matter but failing any of them never was a plausible eventuality for me. Arrogant as that sounds, it's true. Didn't stop me trying and doing the best I could. (... well... almost). I like achieving and I like being proud of achieving.

Never! Colouring in maps wins everyday. Oh, wait, that's right. I had a 2hr exam on soil. Oh yeah, that really sucked, by the way. Apart from the last question, which was synoptical, and allowed me to digress from soil.
Highlights of the paper include:
"Prepare a report for the UN on the extent of soil degredation in Russia"
"Describe the processes that link together to form soil"
"Colour in this map"
(Ok, the last one was a lie. :D)

Yeah, it gets boring veeeery quickly. Oh, and I know it won't help, but GCSEs really don't matter. I remember when I was told that by a member on here two years ago (RM18, if anyone remembers).

Yeah, I've heard that before. Personally I thought he deserved a slap.
Philosophy is looking less appealing to me by the day. Theory of Forms? Bah.
Ah well. Never mind. Destiny, hold my hand, protect from the world.

Critical reasoning is important for those undertaking a philosophy course. For all you young rebels out there, you get to disregard authority and convention and work it out for yourself. One famous rumour concerns a philosophy student who got a 1.1 on an examination essay question. The question was "Why?" His answer was "Why not?" However, this is such an old chestnut by now that if you tried it you would probably get zero marks for unoriginality.

Ooh, ouch. Still, you might get extra credit for being inventive. :D I think I read somewhere that some bloke doing philosophy at Uni scribbled out all of a question, apart from the word, "Why" and wrote, "Why not?!" as his answer. He got full marks for being inventive. I'm going to try and track that story down.
10 days until results. I need ABC or BBB to get into Durham.
*weeps*

I hate puns.
Heheh.
I realised I'd punned horribly in my English exam. The question was about the destructive side of human nature or something (worryingly, I really can't remember) and I was arguing agains the point and was writing about the Tsunami when I used the phrase "flood of donations".
Didn't realise till afterwards when I came out of the exam hall. Bollards.
